The system is simple and, thus far, largely unavoidable. When a user attempts to make a post, Craigslist asks for verification with a viable phone number. It then automatically calls the number and issues a verification code which must be re-entered for the post to go live.
For the purposes of the IRA distributions, a first-time home buyer is anyone who hasn't owned a present interest in a main home for the previous two years.

Coordinate Closing Dates. If you sell your own home first, you may have committed to a fixed date on the sale to which the homeowner of your new place can't agree because of their own circumstances.

This is a highly likely scenario, particularly if competing with another buyer who has no home to sell or who opted to sell first or where the market is hot.
