Selling a home in a park, done right

A park-home sale lives or dies on three things: park approval, a clean title and a lease that transfers. We manage all three from the first phone call, so the sale clears when it should.

How it works

Four conversations, end to end

  1. 01

    Walk the park

  2. 02

    Clean the title

  3. 03

    Set an honest price

  4. 04

    Sell and close

Ownership, explained

What you are selling, and what you are not

Selling the home

In most parks you own the home itself and lease the pad underneath. When you sell, the buyer purchases the home and the improvements, park approval and a lease transfer permitting, while the ground remains the park's.

This is why park-space details matter: the buyer is stepping into your lease arrangement, and we make sure every term is clear to them before they commit.

Selling the land

The park's land is a different asset entirely, owned by the park and sold only when the park itself changes hands. Park residents do not sell the ground, and it is never included with the home.

Think a home is priced like the land around it? Ask us. We separate the two in every evaluation so the math stays honest.

Lease vs. deed

Land lease vs. land ownership changes everything

The single biggest decision in a manufactured home transaction is where the ground stands. It changes the loan, the title, the closing and the resale.

  • Land lease: home is personal property, pad is leased, financing is usually a chattel loan, and approvals live with the park.

  • Deeded: home and land are owned together as real estate, with traditional mortgage options and a more familiar closing.

Few sellers realize how much of their sale price a park lease affects. We show the mechanics on your specific home, not a generic example.

The parts buyers never see

Park approval and title, handled early

These two quiet steps decide whether a sale closes on time or dies in the last week. We front them on both sides.

Park approval

Most parks screen the buyer before a sale can close: age, home condition, home age minimums and their own bylaws. We learn the park's exact expectations and pre-qualify buyers against them, so you are never showing a home to someone the park will not approve.

Title and transfer

A park home on leased land carries a title much like a vehicle. Liens unreleased, titles missing, names changed: we sort these before the buyer's lender ever sees the file, and we make sure the lease assigns cleanly at closing.

Honest pricing

Park-home value comes from home age, condition, park rules and the lending market, not wishful thinking. Our evaluations use current market comparisons, and the number we give you is the number we defend. Ask for current pricing on any home in this marketplace.
