5 Tips For Home Sellers
If you own a Manufactured or Mobile Home in San Antonio, San Marcos, Seguin, or New Braunfels and want to sell it fast, read this blog for 5 tips that will help you sell your mobile home fast in San Antonio, San Marcos, Seguin, or New Braunfels! We have helped over 100 sellers since January 2020. We are passionate about helping buyers and sellers all over a Central Texas.
Tip #1 – Skip The Fix-Up
One of the most time-consuming reasons that homes don’t get sold as quickly as the seller wants to sell is because of the renovations, repairs, and clean-up that needs to happen before the home can go on the market. We love buying beat up mobile homes that need some work. However, if your mobile home is in pristine condition we love those too! Real estate agents understand what their buyers are looking for, so they usually urge sellers to make renovations. But remember, real estate agents can only sell Mobile Homes on private land. When Mobile are located in parks they are considered “personal property” as opposed to “real property”. Unfortunately, the larger the renovation, the longer the sale is delayed, not to mention more money out of your pocket. Also, when was the last time you dealt with a contractor? Talk about a good time 🙄… We are able to purchase mobile homes As-Is, we can take care of all the hassle you don’t want to deal with.
Tip #2 – Forget Retail
When a home is sold “on the market” (usually listed by an agent), the prospective buyers are usually called “retail buyers,” meaning that the buyers are looking to buy a mobile home that they want to live in. Unfortunately, retail mobile home buyers are notoriously unpredictable and they buy on their own timeline, which may not be your timeline! Let us deal with the headache of talking to so many people, having them back out at the last minute, answering a million questions, it’s what we do.
A better option is to think about selling to a professional home-buying company like us, JourneyMobileHomes.
Tip #3 – Gather Your Data
One surprisingly time-consuming piece of the sales process is when the buyer requires information that the seller needs to find. This might include information such as when the HVAC unit was installed, when the roof was last replaced, are the taxes up to date etc. Mobile and Manufactured homeowners who anticipate these questions and have the answers at their fingertips can usually accelerate the buyer’s timeline and potentially sell their mobile homes faster.
Tip #4 – Bypass The Agent
An agent is motivated to sell your manufactured home and try to get the best price for it. While that is important, it means that they may not always have your preferred timeline in mind – since an agent may choose to delay if they think they can get a higher price. Bypassing an agent and selling directly to a buyer, such as a buyer like us at JourneyMobileHomes will help you to sell your house faster. (We are direct mobile home buyers and we have cash on hand to buy your mobile home right now)
Tip #5 – Get Ready To Decide
It is our experience that mobile homeowners who think they are ready to sell are not always truly ready. They WANT to sell but when it comes time to make a decision, they have difficulty moving forward. If you are really interested in selling fast, and you get in touch with JourneyMobileHomes, get ready because we can move very quickly and can even close in and put a check in your hands in about a week!
