here is a way to sell your double or single wide home without the hassle you've heard about
The outline below is the Secret Sauce for successfully selling both doublewide and singlewide Manufactured Homes (MH) in today’s marketplace. It was developed by Jeff Brown, Realtor and MH Subject Matter Expert.
1. Success in today’s MH marketplace requires a Professional.
Everything goes best when you hire a Realtor who is also a MH Professional and knows:
1. The manufactured home and its value – all MHs are not created equal.
2. The value of the options offered by the manufacturer of the home – what is it worth.
3. The setup and installation of the home – a setup issue will affect the sale of the home.
4. The additions made to the home after setup such as porches, decks, etc. – added value.
2. Success in today’s MH marketplace requires a Plan.
The plan consists of three synchronized subplans:
1. The Action Plan – What the Seller wants to accomplish by selling. It is developed and agreed to by the Realtor and the Seller prior to Listing the home.
2. The Marketing Plan - The Realtor’s Firm should already have a successful one in place
3. The Listing Plan. The Firm’s written listing process that is customized using the Seller’s Action Plan. A Listing Plan eliminates common surprises such as:
a. Surprise #1 - The home did not appraise for the agreed upon sale price.
b. Surprise #2 - The buyer’s home inspection reveals unknown problems.
c. Surprise #3 - The home does not qualify for the Buyer’s approved financing.
d. Surprise #4 – Buyers are apprehensive about purchasing a MH and cancel.
3. Success in today’s MH marketplace requires Preparation.
Preparing your home ready to sell is essential:
1. A good Realtor will help you prepare a “to do” list. An important side effect of preparation is stress reduction.
a. The old saying “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” is especially true in selling a home.
b. Handling issues prior to Listing is a big stress reducer. Common stress reducers include:
i. Seller Home Inspection – prior to listing the home
ii. Certification of the MH for buyer’s financing - most Realtors do not know about this.
iii. Home repairs and updating – being proactive saves time and money.
iv. Seller appraisal - takes the guesswork out of pricing your home.
