Compare Hiring An Agent vs. A Direct Sale Of Your Mobile Home
When the time comes to sell your mobile home, it’s important to explore options. While working with a real estate agent may be suitable for some, a direct sale could be more beneficial for others. Not many agents have experience with park managers, or know why there are gates and fences around mobile home parks. To help you make an informed decision, here are some key differences to consider. If you have questions, feel free to reach out to us at 928-362-1584.
| Hiring An Agent | Selling To MobileHomeBuyerJim.com | |
|---|---|---|
| Commissions / Fees: | The real estate commission will run you about 6% of the final sale price. Now you can haggle with the agents over price, which scares many of them away from the lower sales price of mobile and manufactured homes. | $0 – We charge nothing |
| Who Pays Closing Costs?: | The seller can pay up to 2% in closing costs. Did you know that you can change title on mobile homes with or without Escrow? Time is money too! | $0 – We pay all closing costs |
| Inspection & Financing Contingency*: | Required by lenders – and up to 15% of sales fall through | Not required – We buy as is |
| Appraisal Needed: | Often required by the lender, but no one specializes in appraising mobile homes for lenders. Oops! | Not required – We have the funds available to pay you now |
| Average Days Until Sold: | +/- 91 Days. Keep paying the Park even if you’ve moved or inherited the property, but not anything to pay the rent with. | We will make you an offer right away |
| Number of Showings: | Unknown…get those rubber doormats. Bake cookies! Only thing worse than a lot of showings is nobody coming to check out the unit…and can they get in the gate? | Only us |
| Closing Date: | It can be several weeks after an offer has been accepted – not to mention the trees cut down for the paperwork and notaries. Escrow or Motor Vehicle Department? When was the last time the agent took care of the MVD process? | Whenever you choose |
| Who Pays For Repairs?: | Negotiated between the buyer and seller after the inspection…it will cost YOU before you get to the finish line. Hey, guess what? There are always repairs that are asked for when an agent gets involved. How else do they prove their worth to their client? How much do they know about the special techniques to fix mobile homes? | We do. We actually know how to fix mobile homes! |

*An inspection contingency lets the buyer have time to do an inspection and back out of the sale or negotiate a new price if there are repairs that need to be done. If you can’t come to an agreement with the buyer, the buyer has the right to back out of the sale. Similarly, a financing contingency gives the buyer the wiggle room to back out of the purchase if they can’t obtain a loan or if the manufactured home doesn’t appraise for the value that the bank needs to close the loan.
Here at MobileHomeBuyerJim.com, we don’t use bank financing so you don’t have to worry about our ability to close on a deal.
