Thinking About Selling Your Mobile Home Park?
Introduce your community to Sell the Park, whether you’re preparing for retirement, reducing management responsibilities, or simply exploring your options. We buy whole mobile home parks directly, and we sign a non-disclosure agreement before you share any financials.
Tell Us About Your Mobile Home ParkStart with the community as it operates today
A resident may own their home while renting the site beneath it. The home and the underlying land therefore need to be described separately. The Department of Energy explains this distinction in its manufactured housing ownership guidance.
For your introduction, include the approximate number of sites and whether homes are resident-owned, park-owned, or a mix. If you’re unsure of a figure, label it as an estimate. Let us know if the property also includes RV sites or other uses.
What matters to you in a sale?
Your management responsibilities
Tell us which responsibilities you handle and what you would like to change. You may be ready to step away or considering a transition period.
Resident relationships and communication
If resident communication or continuity matters to you, make it part of the discussion. Any plans or commitments about the community’s future should be addressed explicitly rather than assumed.
Infrastructure and maintenance
Describe what you know about utilities, roads, common areas, and park-owned homes. Include work underway and questions you still need to resolve.
Privacy and timing
Let us know who is aware you’re considering a sale and how you would prefer to be contacted. We sign a non-disclosure agreement before you share financials. In some states the owner must notify residents before a sale, or give them a chance to buy first, so discuss any notice, disclosure, and agreement obligations with your advisers before setting a communication plan. A privacy preference does not replace those obligations.
Preparing to sell your mobile home park
You can begin with a summary. For a more detailed conversation, use these questions to organize your records and identify gaps:
| Topic | Questions to prepare |
|---|---|
| Sites and occupancy | How many sites do you report, and how many are occupied? Which figures are estimates? |
| Home ownership | Which homes are park-owned, and which are resident-owned? What records support that description? |
| Income and expenses | What periods do your records cover? How are site rent and park-owned home rent recorded? |
| Agreements | What leases, service arrangements, and other agreements would you want reviewed? |
| Utilities | What do you know about the water, wastewater, electrical service, and billing arrangements? |
| Maintenance | What repairs or improvements are complete, underway, or still being considered? |
| Transition | What questions do you have about residents, employees, management, and your own role? |
These are organizing prompts, not a complete set of legal or transaction requirements. Keep resident-level documents out of the initial inquiry. If detailed records are requested later, clarify who will receive them and how they will be handled.
Mobile home park seller questions
Can I inquire if the park owns some of the homes?
Yes. Choose “Primarily park-owned” or “A mix” in the form and include the approximate number if you know it. This helps describe the property; it does not guarantee a particular offer or transaction structure.
What if there are vacant sites or homes needing repairs?
Describe the current situation and separate confirmed facts from estimates. You don’t need to finish improvements just to introduce the community.
How much is my mobile home park worth?
A site count alone is not a valuation. Prepare the records and questions above so a property-specific discussion can identify what is being evaluated and which assumptions need confirmation. The initial inquiry does not provide an appraisal or guaranteed purchase price.
What happens to residents after a sale?
An inquiry cannot establish a future owner’s plans. Raise your priorities early and have any proposed commitments, existing agreements, and applicable resident protections reviewed as part of the actual transaction. Do not rely on a general website statement as a promise about an individual community.
Can I inquire before all my records are organized?
Yes. Begin with the community’s location, approximate site count, home ownership mix, and your preferred timing. Note any gaps you want to discuss.
