About the host
Hosted by Julia Anne Slom
Julia Anne is a banker in RI and Peter is a social worker and works in juvenile corrections. We have two teenage sons and live in RI most of the year. We both grew up in RI; Julia Anne went to college in CT, lived in NYC and returned to RI in the early 90s and met Peter. Peter went to college in RI and we both now live in Charlestown, RI with our boys.
Why they chose this property
Peter and Julia Anne Slom purchased three rental properties with my parents (Julia Anne) when they located there seasonally from RI in 2005. My Mom still leaves nearby and is a good connection for us there!
