Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: resale advice needed

[Judy Baxter (BAXTER]

<What experience have people had with resales?  Do realtors understand
cohousing well enough to be helpful and worth the cost?  Do the online MLS
listings work?>

From: Judy Baxter, Monterey Cohousing, Minneapolis, MN

I agree with Liz, realtors do NOT understand cohousing .

At one point, a member was working with a realtor.  The people who came through
were not really interested in coho.

It is my observation that the people who are serious about cohousing are
looking for it  or something like it.  Other folks may find the concept
interesting, and may come back at a later date, but it takes time for people to
adopt the idea enough to seriously consider all the changes it implies. So it
is a question of making it possible for people to find us.
