Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: what info do new/prospective owners need?

[Rob Sandelin (floriferous]

We have a notebook of stuff we give new members. It includes agreements,
things like how to order bulk food, where to shop in the local area, what
day garbage pick up is, meeting process stuff, community dinner, etc.  It
covers all the living here sorts of questions that often come up. We need to
update it every couple of years, which is why it is in a 3 ring binder.
This is in addition to the stuff banks want.

Subject: [C-L]_ what info do new/prospective owners need?

The first house in my community (less than two years old) is getting ready
to be sold. We have two questions: 

    1) What information do new buyers need?
    2) When in the process of marketing, selling, buying should the
requisite info be conveyed to the new owner?

For the first one, our CC&Rs document mentions three types of information
that all owners are bound by: a) CC&Rs, b) By Laws, c) Community Agreements.
For the latter, I'm taking that to mean any of the community policies that
we have developed and agreed upon (e.g., pets policy, participation policy,
etc.). Does that sound right? If so, I imagine we need to bind those
together to be able to convey them to folks in a more official manner. What
have other communities done?

Thanks very much in advance for your feedback.
