Close readers of WestportNow’s property transactions last week noted these two entries:
“Patrick R. and Jennifer A. Prosek to Lynn D. and Lavonne R. Kramer, 9 Old Mill Road, $1,000,000,” and
“Lynn D. and Lavonne R. Kramer to Patrick R. and Jennifer Lebedis Prosek Trs., 80 Compo Mill Cove, $2,350,000”
“It’s the first time I’ve seen what essentially is a property swap,” said Westport Town Clerk Patty Strauss.
Neither family returned phone calls about the transactions.
But two persons familiar with the families who requested anonymity said essentially the Kramers wanted to downsize and the Lebedis family wanted more room.
The Kramers knew that Lebedis family wanted a larger house and suggested they rent the Lebedis house and a sale to each other evolved, they said.
The sources said both families have known each other for years as residents in the Compo Cove community.
