Cohousing-L Mailing List: Assisting in resale of homes

[Kay Stewart (kay.stewart]

Ann Zabaldo presented a session at the National Cohousing Conf. in Nashville
in 2017 about how Takoma Village assisted cohousing members (or heirs) in
the sale of their homes along with an invitation for the seller to make a
gift of 1-3% of the sales price back to the Community.  The Oakcreek Members
in attendance of that workshop brought  that idea (along with many examples
of their documents and processes) back to our community and implemented it
over the following year - creating a Resale Group that functions within our
Public Relations Team. Over the past two years, we have assisted with the
resale of 4 homes that are now occupied by persons who really do understand
cohousing and are productive members of our community.  In addition,
Oakcreek has received contributions of $15,000 to be used for whatever
purposes our Members choose. We are indeed delighted with the outcome. If
this has appeal for your community, check out Ann Zabaldo's session in
Portland.
