Questions

Questions North Carolina sellers actually ask

If your question isn't here, ask it. We would rather answer it than have you guess.

Do I need the title to sell my mobile home?

In most cases yes, if the home is still titled personal property through NCDMV. But a missing title is a solvable problem far more often than sellers assume — a duplicate can usually be applied for by the person named on the record. What matters is whether your name is on that record. Tell us what you know and we will help you figure out where things stand.

What if the home was converted to real property?

Then there is no separate title to hand over, because the home legally became part of the land. The sale runs as a real estate transaction on the parcel. That is a normal path, not a problem — it just means an attorney or closing agent handles it instead of a title transfer.

Can you buy if I still owe money on the home?

Often, yes. The remaining balance is paid off at closing out of the sale proceeds and the lien is released. The question is whether the home is worth more than what is owed. If it is not, we will tell you plainly rather than string you along.

What about back property taxes or unpaid lot rent?

Both get handled at closing in most cases. Unpaid lot rent in particular tends to grow while a seller waits, which is why sitting on a park home you are not living in is the most expensive form of indecision in this business.

Do I have to clean it out or make repairs?

No. Take what you want to keep and leave the rest. We do not require repairs, cleaning, staging, or a working HVAC. Homes with real damage still get looked at — the condition just shows up in the number.

Will you buy a home I inherited?

Usually, though it depends on whether the estate gives you authority to sell. If the person named on the title or deed has passed and no estate was opened with the clerk of court, that step generally has to happen before anything can transfer. We can tell you quickly whether your situation is workable.

I live out of state. Does that complicate it?

It adds logistics, not obstacles. We can evaluate from photos and video, and closing documents can usually be handled remotely with proper notarization. Out-of-state owners of North Carolina mobile homes are a large share of who contacts us.

Do you buy in mobile home parks?

Yes. Park homes bring in an extra party — the community's management, whose approval and rules affect whether a home can stay on the lot. We work with that rather than around it, and we ask about it early because it changes the value.

Do you buy the land too, or just the home?

Both, depending on what you want to sell. If you own the land the home sits on, we can buy the home and the parcel together as one sale — which is often the cleanest path. If you want to keep the land and sell only the home, that is possible too in some cases, but it depends on title status and whether the home can be moved or must stay. Tell us what you own and what you want to keep, and we will lay out what is workable.

How does the cash offer work, and how fast can you close?

We evaluate from what you tell us plus photos or video, then put a cash offer in writing with the reasoning behind the number. If you accept, we can usually close in a couple of weeks — sometimes faster if the title is clean and sometimes longer if paperwork needs to be sorted. There are no lender appraisals or financing contingencies to wait on, because we pay cash. You pick the closing date.

How much do you pay?

It depends on land, title status, whether the home can stay put, age, and condition. We do not publish a formula because a formula would be fiction. What we will do is show you the reasoning behind the number so you can judge whether it is fair.

Is there any cost or obligation?

No. There is no fee to talk to us, no fee for an evaluation, and no obligation to accept anything. If listing your home would serve you better, we would rather say so than waste your time.

What do you do with my information?

We use it to evaluate your home and contact you. We do not sell it, and we do not push it into a lead network that resells you to a dozen other buyers.
