Tips For Selling A Mobile Home Dallas

You want to sell your mobile home, but you’re not sure how.  That is reasonable because although mobile homes can give residents a good and safe place to live, normally at an affordable price, they can also be difficult to sell.

If you’re in a rush and don’t want to deal with first time mobile home buyers then you should consider working with a Cash home Buyer.

The first thing to do in order to sell your mobile home…

Clean your mobile home: This means power-washing the outside, vacuuming and shampooing the carpeting, and doing all you can to remove odors.

Fix what needs fixing: That slow water leak in the kitchen that you “fixed” by putting a bucket under it needs to really be fixed.  The discolored paint from the time the roof leaked but was fixed now needs to be repainted. 

If you’re selling your home yourself: You will need to have documents arranged.  You can do that yourself, or you can have a lawyer represent you.

If you’re making monthly payments: You’ll need their name, date of birth, social security number, where they work, a copy of their last two W-2 forms, and their bank account data.  Self-financing means you will be in a problem if they skip town, so you’ll need to assure you have enough information to find them again.

The bill of sale: that will explain the terms of the sales agreement including the down payment amount, how much is still owed, what furniture or appliances are involved, and the year, registration number, serial number, and other information about the home.

Promissory note: for those who are accepting monthly payments from the buyer.  If you are lucky enough to have someone pay cash, which can occur with mobile home sales, this paper will not be needed.

The Agreement after Closing – is used if you accept that you can stay in the house for a certain number of days after closing.  This agreement will involve the number of days you can remain, the circumstance that you’ll leave it, and if you’re remaining for a time will affect any payments.

Proof of insurance if you’re making payments.  If a fire takes out the house and the buyers don’t have coverage, you’re the one who will pay and won’t get paid.

Selling used mobile home Dallas is an unknown process that most home buyers have difficulty navigating.  Follow the steps above and things should work out just fine.  Keep your documentation at hand until the last payment is done, and good luck.
