And We’ve Created Fast And Efficient Ways For You To Sell!
When selling your West Michigan mobile home, ask yourself these questions…
- How much can you afford to spend on the sale? If you don’t want to spend anything, choose a direct sale. Putting your manufactured home on the market will likely require cleaning, repairs, and maintenance…even for the most well maintained mobile homes.
- How much time do you have to sell? If you need to sell quickly, a direct sale is the best route. If time is not a concern, and you are comfortable with the costs up front and the costs of continued ownership, a listing will be your best bet. If you know the market well and have experience in the real estate industry, you can try to sell on your own. But be forewarned, selling on your own can turn into a full-time job. You’ll have to clean, repair, market, show, and handle all aspects of the sale.

Of course there’s always more options…
Rent To Own
Setting up your house in a rent to own structure is a great way to get the property in front of many more potential buyers. It is also a way to guarantee you will get full retail value for the home, sometimes more. There are MANY people out there looking to buy a home, but they fail to qualify for a traditional mortgage because of a minor blemish on their credit from years ago, they are short on a down payment or they have another mortgage on a different property.
These are great people, who will be likely to pay a higher than average rent in exchange for the chance at home ownership. To get started, the buyer will pay you an agreed upon “lump-sum payment up-front. This acts as a deposit should they fail to hold up their end of the deal. The buyer will also pay you a higher than average rent, with a portion of the rent going toward their down-payment.
At the end of a year or two, the buyer must purchase the home outright. There are many ways you can set this up. Choose the terms that work for you!
Hold As a Rental Property
Have you ever pictured yourself as a landlord? In some situations, it can be a lot of work. While other times, and with careful screening, you can find great, low-maintenance tenants. Many people who aren’t able to sell the traditional way, will instead opt to rent their home out.
If it seems like too much work, you can always hire a property management company to help you with routine maintenance and rent collection. Many people find owning a rental property is an excellent way to secure extra income.
Selling to A Direct Buyer or Investor
When you choose to sell your home directly, you will likely save many out of pocket costs you encounter when listing. You won’t need to pay a listing agent, make repairs or clean up. With a direct sale to an investor, the process typically runs much more quickly. Direct buyers are often paying in cash, so they are able to close without relying on bank funding.
When you sell your house directly, make sure to read the fine print and that the terms are agreeable to you. When selling on your own, you will not have a professional to help guide you. Not all home buyers are the same!
Auction Services
Many people are turning to auction services to sell their Grand Rapids home. Choose a site or person who will generate buzz about your property using excellent marketing. The goal here is to draw attention to your home and encourage buyers to outbid one another.
An auction is great for people who want to want to sell and have a definitive date. By selling quickly, you can potentially save thousands as opposed to listing your home.
Factor in your mortgage payment, homeowners insurance, property taxes, repairs and general depreciation, and you’ll see that holding on to a home, that isn’t income generating, is only costing you money.

** Both the Northwestern and the Stanford studies mentioned in the Money section confirm just that: “The use of a broker does lead to an accelerated sale. In that respect, brokers appear to add value,” the Stanford researchers declared. The Northwestern study found that it takes on average 20 days longer to sell a home on an FSBO site versus the MLS or an agent.
