Our 8 Step Buying Process:
Beginning your home search can be an overwhelming and daunting task. Because of that, our team makes sure that you, and all other potential buyers, understand each of the 8 steps that we take to make the process as easy and painless as possible. By the end of your search, with our support and guidance, you will live happily ever after in your new, dream home.
Meet us virtually and create a wishlist
Let’s get to know each other! Once you’re ready to work with our team, we’ll meet virtually for a Buyer Consultation to focus your search and determine what you want and need in a home.
Pre-qualification
We’ll introduce you to our mortgage partner, who can help you determine your buying price range with confidence. Be prepared to dig into paperwork during this part of the process such as pay stubs, W2’s, and tax returns. The lender will do a full review and then tell you what you will be able to borrow in order to purchase a home. This is a vital step in the home buying process!
Listing alerts sent to you based on your criteria
Our agents get to know you — Need to move for a job? Want a shorter commute? Getting married? Having a baby? Need to upgrade or downsize? At this stage in the process, we’ll send you notifications about the listings that you’re most likely to be excited about. Be sure to let us know if one (or more) jumps out at you so that we can skip to the next step and schedule a viewing. be there for you every step of the way.
Schedule viewings and attend open houses
Here’s where the buying process gets really fun! We’ll go to local open houses together and schedule viewings of the homes that you’ve loved from our listing alerts. We’ll talk about how the budget will work and make sure that we find you the perfect home.
Find the perfect home and write an offer
When you’re ready to make an offer, your agent will present a written offer to the seller. And while everyone loves getting their offer accepted right away, the seller could come back to us with a counteroffer, or reject your initial offer all together. We’re happy to walk you through each of these possibilities and exactly how to handle them. Once the offer is accepted, it’s time to get your financing in order and move forward to the next step!
Acceptance, appraisal, and inspection
The sellers accepted your offer, and the home is going through appraisal and inspection. The appraisal guarantees that the price of the property matches the condition of the property while the inspection makes sure that everything in the home is functioning properly and there are no major issues inside. These are the last steps before the shiny keys to your home are placed in your hand... for good!
Time to close and get the keys
Get excited because it’s time to close on your home! This process includes going through all of the final paperwork and signing your name (a lot!). Don't forget to bring all of the paperwork you’ve collected along the way and your down payment.
Celebrate! 🥂

I 100% recommend Slocum Realty
We contacted Slocum Realty to help us in buying our first home. We were set up with Jon as our realtor. Jon is and was just as welcoming and patient as he was professional. We were sometimes cautious to ask too many questions - but Jon never made us feel like we were an inconvenience or that any question was silly. I 100% recommend Slocum Realty whether you are buying your 1st or 5th home - they are knowledgeable and client focused!! #FirstTimeHomeBuyers #WeNeededHelp #HouseHunting
Bob is the BEST and we a HIGHLY recommend him!!!
Bob DeGregorio has helped us sell two homes and purchase two homes, as well as other family members, throughout the years. Bob is a full-time, experienced, professional who has the expertise that enables him to provide the best advice, whether throughout negotiations or while touring homes. Bob was able to point out things, both positive and negative, that we might not have otherwise been aware of. Bob did not pressure us but always returned our calls promptly and made himself available to us when needed. Without Bob's quick responses, we could have lost out on the purchase of a home. He always made us feel like we were his only client, even though we knew he was very busy! Bob is the BEST and we a HIGHLY recommend him!!!
Meredith was nothing short of amazing to work with!
As a first time home buyer, choosing a realtor was my first big decision to make. My knowledge of the home buying process was slim to none and I wasn’t even sure where to start.
Meredith was nothing short of amazing to work with. She walked me through the home buying experience and explained it in terms that was easy For me to understand. She always answered my (many) questions with quick and friendly responses. She put my concerns first, and was great at negotiating to make sure that the home that I was purchasing was move-in ready and everything was in good functioning condition. I will absolutely recommend Meredith to all of my friends and family, and also put any of my future home purchases in her hands again!!
