We recently had a unit resale at CoHo Ecovillage. In addition to the steps listed in other posts, we did a few more things. Our Neighbors Team stayed in touch with the unit owner on a regular basis and with her realtor. The realtor was given an overview of our membership process and was aware that the community (and the seller) wanted to attract cohousing-friendly buyers. There was an agreement that prospective buyers would be given a tour and hosted at a meal by the Neighbors Team. Her realtor scheduled the unit on a "realtor's tour" when it was first listed so that realtors could view the property and learn about the community. A Neighbors Team member greeted the realtors, showed a 5-minute slide show about the community, and answered questions. On an ongoing basis, we post our membership documents/policies, and an explanation of the process on our website. Hopefully, this alerts prospects that it takes more than "a pulse and a check" to buy a cohousing unit. We emphasize the importance of both parts of the process: "A prospective member seriously considering the purchase of a unit is pursuing two tracks at the same time with a shared deadline. One track involves the legal and financial details in negotiating a purchase. The other track involves the steps in becoming a member of the community." As it turned out, the buyer had visited CoHo before the unit was on the market.... -- Susan Hyne
