Today’s buyers & sellers need a trusted resource that can guide them through a complex transaction. In this booklet, you’ll learn why The Nick Slocum Team is the go-to source for real estate services and industry insight.

WHY SLOCUM? We’re a third-generation company and lifelong residents of Rhode Island. Some of us have the name Slocum, but over the years the name has taken on a meaning beyond a family name as we’ve grown. Slocum means having a pro on your side who genuinely cares about your situation and your result. It means taking the extra step, going out of our way to help. Slocum means mentor, protector, and friend. It means showing up when it’s time to work, and responding even when it’s not. Slocum means no tiered service based on price points. We treat every customer like gold and every home like a castle. High-quality goods are durable and long-lasting. Slocum service was built in this way.

Built to last. Built for you. Count on it.

That ’s Slocum.

Technically, there’s no red carpet here. But you’ll feel like there is.

OUR SUCCESS: CLIENT REVIEWS WARWICK, RI

CLIENT REVIEWS:

Nick and everyone on his team were amazing to work with. Very professional and reliable. My husband Mark and I had a unique relationship as we were the sellers of a property and Nick’s clients were the buyers. Everyone was extremely communicative and helpful. The whole experience was seamless and I would recommend them 100%. Mark Barter was our agent. What I liked most about Mark was that he said exactly what would happen and it unfolded just as predicted. He created a buzz, fielded offers, and walked us through the entire process. We got $41,000 over asking. Great results. Thank you Mark. Buying our first home my boyfriend and I were very nervous. We weren’t sure what it entailed. Tim M at Slocum Reality went above and beyond throughout our whole entire process. We had lots of struggles with our lender but Tim eased the process and put his all into our home buying process. Throughout our 5 month close, bumps in the road, and troubles, Tim kept us up to date and reassured. We cannot recommend Slocum Reality and Tim Mefford enough. We would give 100 stars if we could! I landed with Nick Slocum and Team by chance and couldn’t feel any luckier. From the first phone contact to the final, live home closing my long distance search was in good hands. Each day I would work with Nick and Eric Pike to help coordinate virtual showings and determine best offers. Whether early morning or late evening, they were there. I soon got to know other members of the team as I sought home and auto insurance policies and each matched the high caliber professionalism and follow through I had come to expect. Thanks to all and I love my new home! I can’t stop raving about Jon Tetrault to everyone! I had one of the most efficient, professional and seamless business experiences with Jon. In a market where everything is unsteady, Jon was able to act quick and was proactive to streamline the purchase of a new home. I can’t wait to purchase another one with him!

CLIENT REVIEWS: Nick Slocum and his team are the most helpful, positive, professional and responsive team of realtors. Nick was EXTREMELY patient with me throughout the selling and buying process. It was extremely easy for me to sell my home, but with my price range, my pickiness, the location I wanted to live and the limited supply of houses on the market, it took quite some time for me to find the right fit. That’s where Nick’s extreme patience with me really shined! Nick went above and beyond with his helpfulness. I am finally in my dream location and could not be happier!! I HIGHLY recommend you choose the Slocum Team if you ever need a great group of realtors to help you sell and/or buy a home. The Slocum Team was amazing in helping us sell our old home and purchase our new home, all within a couple months of each other. The whole team is incredibly professional, responsive, accessible, and excellent at what they do. Both closings were smooth and without issues. Our realtor was Jon Tetrault and we couldn’t be happier with him. He really was there every step of the way through our sale and through our purchase, he made everything easy for us. He really went above and beyond on every little detail. We couldn’t say enough good things about him! Thank you Jon and the whole Slocum Team!

PREPARING YOUR PROPERTY FOR SALE

PREPARING YOUR PROPERTY FOR SALE Follow these 5 tips to improve your house’s curb appeal, and also to make your house feel like home to potential buyers.

GIVE YOUR ENTRY A FACE-LIFT:

Consider getting a new front door, replacing a worn out welcome mat, and painting or replacing your street numbers to make them more visible.

LET THE LIGHT IN: Wash all windows

inside and out, and be sure to open windows and shades for any showings. Dark rooms feel small and gloomy, while bright rooms feel warm and inviting.

REPLACE BULBS: Make sure all lights

(interior and exterior) are in working order! Replace light bulbs and make sure all switches work.

CLEAN EVERYTHING: A messy interior will

distract buyers. Be sure to dust, empty all trash bins, and hide any dirty laundry. Getting rid of unnecessary clutter will also show how much room is actually available!

LANDSCAPE & POWER WASH: A well groomed lawn will increase appeal and show buyers the home was taken care of. Power washing patios, decks, siding, sidewalks, and your driveway will give a ‘like-new’ feel as well.
