Friday, December 26 2008 - Permanent House Swap
Sherry Crosslin and Jerry Stussman
With the dramatic rise in foreclosures, some people have gotten creative with how they buy and sell their homes. Sherry Crosslin and Jerry Stussman took a novel route: They swapped houses.
Sherry's property was nestled along the Chesapeake Bay in Virginia. She tried to sell her house the traditional way but got no responses. So she went online with the idea of trading homes. A week later, Jerry got in touch with her and they made a deal.
Dick Gordon talks to both Sherry and Jerry about their house swap - and how they figured out they could trust one another.
