We Buy Mobile and Manufactured Homes in Arizona

What this means in practice

Selling a mobile home is not like selling a site-built house, and that catches many owners off guard. The home may have a title from the Motor Vehicle Division, like a car. It may sit on land you own or on a rented space in a park. The park may have a say in who buys it. A home built before mid-1976 follows different rules than a newer one. Many agents and most mortgage lenders stay away from these sales, which leaves owners unsure where to turn. We buy mobile and manufactured homes across Arizona for cash, both on owned land and in parks, in as-is condition. Our offers are below what a retail buyer might pay, in exchange for speed and a sure closing. This page explains the paperwork and the park rules, so you can sell it yourself if that suits you better.

When this path makes sense

• You own a mobile home on your own land and want to sell both
• The home is in a park and lot rent keeps climbing
• You inherited a mobile home and the title is still in a parent's name
• The title is lost or was never transferred to you
• Back taxes are owed on the home
• The home is older, needs work, or was built before 1976
• The park wants the home fixed up or removed
• You are moving and cannot keep paying lot rent on an empty home

How the process goes

1. Tell us about the home and where it sits. Call (928) 928-4109 or use the form. We need the year, the size, whether you own the land or rent a space, and whether you have the title or titles in hand.
2. We check the paperwork and see the home. We look up whether an affidavit of affixture was recorded, whether taxes are owed, and whose name is on the title. Then we see the home once. No cleaning or repairs needed.
3. You get a written cash offer. We explain how the land, the age and condition of the home, park rules and any title or tax issues affect the number. There is no fee and no obligation.
4. Close the right way for your home. A home sold with its land closes through a standard Arizona title and escrow company. A titled home in a park transfers through the Motor Vehicle Division after the park approves us. Typical timing is 7 to 21 days once title is clear.

What it costs

You pay no commission and we pay the normal closing costs. You do not pay for repairs, skirting, cleanup or hauling. Loans against the home, delinquent taxes and past-due lot rent are normally paid from your proceeds so the title can transfer. Our cash offer is below what a retail buyer would pay. That gap is often wider on older homes in parks, because the buyer takes on lot rent, park rules and a home that loses value with age. If your home is newer, affixed to land you own and in good shape, it may qualify for regular mortgage financing, and listing with an agent who knows manufactured homes could bring you more. If you can wait, selling a park home yourself to a retail buyer may also beat our price.

How this stacks up against the alternatives

List with an agent. This works best when the home is affixed to land you own, is in good condition, and can be financed. It sells like a house, through the MLS and a title company, and usually brings the highest price. Some loan programs have added requirements for manufactured homes, so ask the agent early. Sell it yourself. Common for homes in parks. You advertise, show the home, and the buyer applies to the park. It costs little and can bring a better price than ours. It also takes time, lot rent keeps running while you wait, and most buyers need cash because lenders rarely finance older homes on rented spaces. Sell to the park or a dealer. Some parks and dealers buy homes directly. It is quick. Get the offer in writing and compare it against at least one other. Sell to us. We buy for cash, on land or in a park, as-is, and we handle the title work, the tax clearance and the park application. You get less than a retail sale would bring. This fits when the home needs work, the title is messy, taxes are owed, the home was inherited, or lot rent is draining you each month. If the home came to you through an estate, see /situations/inherited/ and /situations/probate/. For back taxes and other liens, see /situations/liens/.
