Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Cohesiveness of community after a sale?

[Alan O'Hashi (adoecos]

Cohousers - At my place, the HOA requires buyers to take a tour and have an 
orientation session about cohousing, community participation, etc. Buyers 
attend a team or communit rmeeting, and attend a dinner. We have an interest 
list, but it’s not a great source of qualified potential buyers. We assign a 
community member or two to liaison among the HOA, seller, and buyer to set up 
visits and meetings. Ultimately, it’s up to the seller to pick a buyer. So far, 
our transparent process has worked pretty well. Others can chime in here, but 
generally, my observation is that no community has 100 percent ideal cohousers. 
The only group that can self-select is the founding group. Rather than worrying 
too much about future owners. I think it’s most important to correctly pick the 
initial members.

Thx,
