Julia Gonsalves

For the past several years, I’ve been guiding buyers, sellers and investors through Maine's unique properties. Whether you’re seeking a mountain retreat a shorefront lot or commercial acreage I know how to assess location, value and potential. I’ll help you uncover hidden opportunities and make confident decisions on development, conservation or resale. My work is grounded in a deep respect for quality, craftsmanship, practical design and healthy living environments, informed by decades of hands-on experience both on and off the grid.
Having lived off the grid for 25+ years I’ve designed, built, and maintained systems ranging from solar power to rainwater harvesting, composting toilets and woodfired heating. I fuse this hands-on knowledge with mainstream construction standards to advise clients on everything from energy efficiency to sustainable building practices.
As the wife and mother of carpenters and fine-wood craftsmen, I understand the difference between cookie cutter finishes and enduring quality. My background gives me a trained eye from materials, structural integrity and real value, so I can negotiate on your behalf with confidence and clarity.
I take time to learn your lifestyle goals, financial priorities, and long-term plans leveraging local data and my own field experience. I pinpoint properties that align with your criteria from contract to closing. I handle the details so you can focus on envisioning your new property. When I’m not scouting land or crunching numbers in the office, you’ll find me out and about with my four-legged business partner, Walnut. We are both avid adventurers that enjoy hiking, foraging and paddle boarding through the warm weather. During the colder months we enjoy snowshoeing through pristine mountain trails and love spending time in the kitchen cooking up classics and developing new recipes. These pursuits keep me grounded, energetic, and deeply connected to the landscapes I serve. I’m passionate about helping clients find not just a house, but a place that resonates with their values passions and dreams if you’re ready to explore Maine's diverse real estate possibilities from off grid highways to commercial investments let’s connect!
