There are many reasons to sell your mobile home. Many people desire the same comfort and appeal as traditional homes. Some people want to avoid paying fees and levies at their parks. Others need to move, but are not willing to deal with the hassle and risk of moving a mobile home, especially if it's over long distances.
This lifestyle is appealing to many people outside of big cities. Mobile homes are much more affordable than traditional suburban homes. They also offer the same comfort and size.
WHAT DO YOU NEED TO KEEP IN YOUR MIND
Selling or purchasing a mobile home does not always equal buying real estate. Before you attempt to sell your double-wide, here are some things you need to keep in mind.
YOU OWN THE LAND
You will need to decide if you wish to sell the land on which your mobile home is located. The mobile home must be moved if you want to keep your land. Although you can transfer the responsibility to the buyer, it will likely be a barrier for them.
HOME CONDITION
There are many options available to you if your home is in need of repairs. Common areas include the roof and window frames, foundations, skirting and doors frames. Many buyers are seeking a bargain and may be willing to purchase the home for a lower price, but make the repairs themselves. It might be a barrier for some buyers. These issues should be discussed and resolved by negotiation.
MOBILE HOME PARK RULES AND REGULATIONS
Mobile home parks often require that a notice period be given before any home can be removed from the property. Parks retain the right to decide who can live in their community. Potential buyers must be approved.
TITLE
You cannot transfer ownership of your mobile home if you have not paid all liens and mortgages. Also, you will be responsible for paying the mortgage on the home you no longer live in. You can reach an agreement where you receive a monthly amount from the buyers that you can use to pay your mortgage. You can then transfer ownership.
CERTIFICATE OF SALES AND OCCUPANCY
These documents may be required when you are selling your house. These documents are equally important for the buyer's advantage as they are for yours. You should ensure that you have them and keep them safe.

LOOK FOR EXPERTS THAT CAN HELP YOU THROUGH THE SELLING PROCESS
Agents - It might be tempting to find an agent. An experienced agent will be able to guide you on the paperwork that you need and put you in touch with appraisers and moving companies. Be aware that many agents will charge too much for these packages. The 10% commission fee will be payable by you.

Your mobile home park: Many mobile home parks purchase mobile homes from their neighbors when they move. The seller and the park both benefit from these transactions. The park can rent or sell a vacant house immediately and has full control over who moves into it. It eliminates many of the additional worries for the seller like finding a buyer or moving the house.
