"Determine your property classification: Chattel or real property? Understand whether your mobile home is classified as personal property (chattel) or real property, as this affects the selling process and required documentation. Gather required documentation and verify that your chosen title and escrow company has experience handling mobile home sales. Not all companies work with this type of property. Prepare transfer of title, bill of sale, notarized transfer documents, tax records, and Certificate of Occupancy."
"Verify that the current owners possess the interior data sheet and confirm that the exterior data plates are present and legible on the manufactured home. Should either of these essential documents be absent, you'll need to take immediate action to obtain replacement interior data sheets and determine the identification numbers from the exterior plates. These documents are mandatory for completing the sale - particularly when financing is involved, and potentially even for cash transactions."
Selling a manufactured home in 2025 requires accurate pricing based on current market conditions and completion of essential repairs such as roofing, electrical work, sub-flooring, air conditioning, and plumbing. Determine whether the unit is chattel or real property because classification affects the transfer process, required paperwork, and available buyer financing. Assemble crucial documents including transfer of title, bill of sale, notarized transfer forms, tax records, Certificate of Occupancy, interior data sheet, and exterior data plates. Identify lenders who finance mobile homes and understand local norms for dividing closing costs. Use title and escrow companies experienced with mobile home transactions to avoid delays.
