  • Why You Do Not Need To Attend Your Sarasota Florida Mobile Home Closing!

    Looking at buying or selling a mobile home on leased land in the greater Sarasota Florida area?

    If so, you came to the right place to learn as much as you can about the process!

    We, here at The Mobile Home Dealer are licensed mobile home brokers within the state of Florida and specialize in selling mobile homes on leased land throughout the Sarasota Florida area.

    What happens if you are out of state or out of the country and see a mobile home that sparks your interest but is not in a place to be able to come to take a look at it before the opportunity passes itself by?

    Do you live out of state and are concerned about whether the mobile home will be sold before you are able to make it down to see it in person?

    With how fast the real estate market is selling right now one needs to be focused on moving as quickly as they can if and when they find the mobile home that meets their needs throughout the greater Sarasota Florida area.

    In order to move as quickly as possible every Buyer and Seller should be open to utilizing the latest technology and being okay with buying a mobile home virtually without physically stepping foot into the property itself.

    When looking at buying or selling a mobile home on leased land it is important to know that these mobile homes are viewed as and taxed as personal property in the state of Florida and not as traditional real estate.

    What this means is that the home that is being bought or sold has a title associated with it and not a deed like traditional real estate does. Without a deed, these homes follow the same buying and selling process as that of a vehicle in the state of Florida.

    With this understanding, the closing process of either the buying or selling of one of these mobile homes on leased land in the greater Sarasota Florida area is one where the Buyer and Seller do not need to be present to complete.

    In a traditional closing of a real estate property, there are several documents, offices, and trained professionals involved in the transaction. It is not uncommon to have realtors, brokers, title agents, and bankers all involved in the closing of a real estate transaction.

    When buying a mobile home on lease land many of these professionals are not present.

    The reason for this is that a mobile home transaction on leased land involves just the Buyer’s and Sellers’ signatures while the closing documents can be orchestrated by a licensed mobile home broker such as The Mobile Home Dealer.

    When we complete a transaction many times the Buyer and Seller are not present as we do everything virtually through courier service so that both the Buyer and Seller have the documents they need and execute them in a timely fashion. Once we have the signatures on all the agreements for the purchase and sale of the mobile home we can then use our state license to get the title and registration out of the seller’s name and into the Buyer’s name without either party needing to be present.

    It is not surprising that the mobile home market moves just as fast if not faster than the real estate market does. When a good property is listed, many times, it is sold before it is even on the market due to the Sellers, such as we at The Mobile Home Dealer, having a long list of qualified Buyers ready to buy at a moment’s notice. When a property comes up a Buyer has to move quickly!

    With the rise in virtual meetings and phone calls that have risen dramatically in the past two years since the pandemic, it is far more normal now than ever before that the Seller is capable of showing their home virtually through either a Zoom call, a Facetime call or a YouTube video. If this is new technology to you look to embrace it and learn the basics so that you are able to see a mobile home through one of these mediums and not rely on traditional still photos.

    If you see a home for sale by one of our agents and are interested in learning more but do not feel like you have the time to come down to Florida just to take a look at the mobile home before it sells do not let this be a deterrent to your purchase at all. We at The Mobile Home Dealer will always be happy to set up a time to give you a private video tour of the home to help you get a better idea of exactly what the home is and what the home is not so that you feel as comfortable as possible before moving forward with your new mobile home purchase.

    We at The Mobile Home Dealer usually complete these video chats through our cell phones where we connect directly with you, the Buyer.

    Most all cell phones these days have the capability to provide this type of service and if you are not familiar with the technology then we will be more than happy to walk you through it so that you feel as comfortable as possible with using it.

    When looking at buying or selling a mobile home on leased land in the greater Sarasota Florida area it is always important to know that by working with a trusted licensed mobile home broker such as The Mobile Home Dealer you will have far less to worry about and will have the security in knowing everything is being done right!

  • How Long Can You Wait To Close On Your Sarasota Florida Mobile Home?

    Closing day.

    The day when one needs to have moved out of their mobile home and be ready to continue on to their next chapter in life.

    While the closing day can be met with excitement, and, sometimes, sadness, it needs to be understood how long one can delay the closing date for the sale of your Sarasota Florida mobile home sale.

    Before we get into discussing the reasonable time frame for which a mobile home Seller can wait to close on their mobile home sale we first need to stress the fact that the Buyer of the mobile home needs to be park-approved.

    As discussed in previous blog entries, it is of utmost importance that every Buyer gets approved by the mobile home park for residency prior to closing on a mobile home.

    The reason for this is that when working with a licensed mobile home broker in the Sarasota Florida area such as The Mobile Home Dealer, we need to always make sure that the Buyer is approved to become a resident so that there are no issues between the park and the Buyer prior to closing.

    Most Sarasota Florida mobile home parks hold residents to the same standard if the Buyer is not approved prior to closing on their new mobile home then the park could deny lot rent payment from the new Buyer which could very well lead to their new mobile home being put into the eviction process.

    When a Seller is looking to sell their mobile home it is reasonable to request 30 days or less for the mobile home that they just sold to close.

    Please note, this is 30 days after the Buyer has submitted an accepted offer and has been approved by the park. Not until both of these items have been successfully completed should the 30-day countdown begin.

    The reason why the 30-day countdown should not begin for either the Buyer or the Seller until the Buyer has been approved by the mobile home park is that a park approval can take upwards of 2-3 weeks to complete in some instances. If the Seller agreed to begin their 30-day count down prior to the Buyer getting approved and for some reason, the Buyer did not get approved then the Seller would more than likely to pack up and be ready to go only for their home to get put back on the market!

    As one can see this could cause quite a few issues for the mobile home Seller in this instance.

    Where mobile home Sellers get into a jam is when they request longer than 30 days post-park approval for their Sarasota Florida mobile home to sell. The reason why a longer close date will cause issues is that most mobile home Buyers are eager to move into their new home and are not willing to wait longer just because the Seller wants additional time.

    We strongly suggest that before you ever put your Sarasota mobile home on the market make sure you have located your title for the home and have laid out an easy-to-follow plan for a timeframe you are able to be moved out of your mobile home. Forgetting to do this may cause you issues that you could have easily avoided if you would have taken the time to lay things out on the front end

    In addition, when you decide to sell your mobile home and you have enough time to declutter, it is always better to leave everything clean as some buyers can be distracted and turned off by things they don’t want to see. Yes, the documentation is the most important thing to secure and prepare, but the house itself should be presentable so anyone can move without delays.

    If you need more time, this can always be negotiated as long as you tell your broker in advance. If you already have a buyer, make sure that both of you agree on everything and everything must be put in writing.

    We have seen a lot of sales end up unsuccessful because the seller changes their mind, won’t cooperate, or is not ready. If you are really serious about selling your mobile home, avoid these issues and focus on complete preparation. 

    Most successful mobile home sales always start with the seller’s complete preparation, followed by the cooperation of both the seller and the buyer. If you think there is something you are not sure of, you can always consult your broker, or contact The Mobile Home Broker for further assistance.

    Moving out of your mobile home is one of the biggest transitions you will experience in life. While the thought of leaving your parents’ rules, and your annoying little brother, and going to university or starting a new job can be exhilarating, it can also be overwhelming.

    The good news is, feeling nervous or overwhelmed is completely normal and there are ways to make your transition to independence a smooth journey.

    The length of time you can wait to close on your Sarasota Florida mobile home depends on the terms of the sale. Generally speaking, it usually takes between 30 and 45 days to complete a transaction. This timeline can vary depending on how long it takes to obtain financing, the availability of title and escrow services, and any contractual agreement between the buyer and seller. Before signing a contract, it is important to discuss the estimated closing date with your real estate agent or lawyer to ensure that all parties involved are aware of the timeline and expectations.

    As a general rule, if you are looking to sell your Sarasota Florida mobile home quickly, make sure you are ready to close within 30 days after the Buyer has been approved by the mobile home park. Asking for any additional length of time above and beyond that could very well leave the Buyer in a position where they will go and buy another mobile home.
