Mobile home selling often require less work than a regular home, but the selling process can still be complicated. In order to get the highest return for your investment it's important to follow a few steps that can make things go more smoothly, and to keep in mind the financing differences between these and traditional homes. It is always recommended to use a Realty professional, so you can be assured that nothing is missed.
Many mobile home sellers try to recoup as much of their investment as possible by selling "for sale by owner," without the assistance of a real estate agent. This method allows the seller to keep all the profits from the sale, instead of spending five per cent or more on a Realtor's commission, but it includes several risks. It is difficult to find financing for your buyer (much more difficult than with a site-built home) without the help of a mobile home real estate agent. It will also take much longer to price the unit correctly, because a real estate agent has the industry experience to offer your home at the optimal price. If you do decide to sell FSBO it's best to give yourself 12 - 24 months before the manufactured home must be sold, so there's still time to work with a real estate agent if necessary.
Preparing a manufactured home for sale is less difficult than a regular home, since these homes are much smaller and easier to maintain. Your main concern when selling a manufactured home should be presenting the home as is, so buyers can easily see its condition. Buyers don't invest in mobile homes for the upgrade potential - in general, they want to be able to use the manufactured home as quickly as possible, without having to worry about structural problems.
