Double Wide Mobile Homes

How do you sell a Mobile Home in California? We will be discussing the pros and cons of listing your mobile home vs selling to an investor.

It is important to have a good understanding of the process when you are ready to sell your mobile home. List your mobile home online can take several months. This can make it more expensive than a direct sale. We will discuss the pros and cons of listing your mobile home instead of selling it to an investor.

Listing Your Mobile Home

The pros

An Agent’s Assistance –You will be provided with assistance in marketing the property and showing it. Agents are required to help you get your property listed on the MLS. Remember that an agent might not be as dedicated to selling your mobile home as they are with a single-family property. Their commission may also be significantly lower.

Broader Audience. Your mobile home will be quickly visible to a wide audience by being listed on the MLS. This includes other agents looking for properties for clients.

The Cons

Wasted Time – There are no guarantees for listing your mobile home.? Is it possible to wait for months before you find the right buyer.? There is no guarantee that you will receive your listing price.? You may have to lower the asking price.

The costs –It is almost inevitable that repairs will be required when you list your mobile home.? These repairs can quickly add up and should be paid upfront.? The cost of owning a home is expensive. If the property is being marketed for a while, holding costs may increase.? Also, you will need to think about agent commissions and administrative fees.

Showings – Prospective buyers will want to see your property if it is listed on the MLS. You will need to make sure it is clean and ready to show to anyone who wants to see it. While it can be hard to leave the property when someone comes to visit, you don’t want to make the process difficult for others to view the property.

Sales fall through –Appraisal is required when financing is sought for the mobile home. The sale may be canceled if the mobile home does not sell at a fair price. Owners who have waited for months to sell their property can find it difficult to sell.

The Cons

Lower Final Sale Price. A lot of people avoid selling to investors because they fear a low price. The price difference is negligible when you consider all the money you will save. We take care of all repairs while also saving you tons of time and effort. We offer fair prices!

A direct sale provides guarantees about things like the price and closing date. Although a traditional listing might achieve a higher final sales price, the costs of repair, agent fees, commissions, and closing costs, as well as marketing expenses, could easily negate any higher final sale prices. This is not to mention the time and effort required. As a result, the listing is not an option for many mobile home sellers.
