Barry Bordelon, 46, and Jordan Slocum, 42, met on a dating app and decided to search for a home to purchase together after only 7 months of dating. In October 2018, they purchased their brownstone in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn for about $1.5 million. The couple did a bulk of the renovation themselves and estimate they spent around $312,000 on it.
