Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: RFPs and developers

[Larry Miller (larry.miller]

Michael said, "Go meet the top man (or woman) of your candidate developers 
first and find out if
they are interested in doing something different from their standard 
development process."

I can't tell you how strongly I agree with Michael. Have conversations first. A 
cohousing group
needs the developer much more than the developer needs a diverse group of 
potential homeowners.
It will be much more fruitful if you recognize that you are selling, not buying.
