Cohousing-L Mailing List: RE: Help Selling Units

[stuart (stuart]

Ann,
Thank you for your offer of help, I will certainly avail myself of it.
Any suggestions on how to begin? I was thinking about sending out an
email to the VT Communities and see what happens.

I briefly checked out your website and there is a lot of information
there. I will be going back to look at it in more depth.

Thanks again.
