Mobile home buyers include people looking for a place to live, investors, dealers and park owners. Mobile Home Buyer Finder sends home-only requests to one local buyer in our network, named to you before contact. The buyer contacts you, assesses the home and chooses whether to make an offer.
Key points
- Buyer's plan to stay or move
- Ownership papers and lot terms ready
- Park approval separate from sale agreement
Private buyers buy a home to live in
A private buyer usually wants the home as a place to live. Its condition and the right to stay on the lot matter alongside the price.
- Items included in the home purchase
- Current lot rent and rental terms
- Buyer's plan for payment

Buying the home and renting its lot involve separate arrangements. South Carolina's covered parks cannot unreasonably withhold residency approval. If the purchaser receives no written notice within 15 days of applying in writing, approval follows automatically. Share the rental terms while the buyer checks the park's process.
Investors and companies buy for resale or rental
Investors buy used homes with a plan for resale or rental. Ask what repairs, transport or park arrangements any offer depends on.
- Leaks, floor damage and unfinished repairs
- Any requirement to leave the lot
- Written terms before your agreement

Cash skips financing, but it does not settle the ownership record. Georgia requires the assigned original ownership document for each separately titled unit through the county tag office. Ask the buyer who will handle the transfer, repairs and any move before you agree to its terms.
Dealers and park owners have different needs
Dealers may buy outright or take a home in trade. Park owners may buy within their community. Neither route is automatic.
- Dealer's outright purchase versus trade-in
- Park purchase interest separate from residency approval
- Removal terms in any proposed sale

A trade-in connects the old home to a replacement purchase; an outright purchase stands alone. In Michigan, age or size alone cannot justify rejecting an in-park sale or requiring the home to leave. Any written standards for physical condition must treat homes equally. Ask separately about the buyer's tenancy and the park's purchase interest.
Have the home and lot details ready
Your ownership papers, home details and lot agreement give a buyer something concrete to assess. Know what you own before discussing what it could sell for.
- Title or other state ownership record
- Age, width and known damage
- Loan balance and unresolved lot questions

The state pages explain the titling agency and local selling rules. Check with the titling agency or your park office about documents or approval requirements you cannot confirm. The value calculator gives a rough range for the home alone, not an appraisal or an offer.
Your request goes to a single local buyer
Your home details go to a single local buyer. The form or an email names that buyer before contact.
- Home sold without land
- Purchase discussions directly with the buyer
- Any offer's terms read before deciding

You can send a request about a park home or a home on rented or someone else's land. A home and land sold together use the real-estate route, usually through a title company, closing attorney or real estate agent. That route falls outside this service.
