Mobile Home Transactions:                                                                                     
Helpful Hints for a Smoother Transaction
  1. We must be informed that your transaction involves a mobile home. There is no way for us to know unless you disclose this on your earnest money agreement. Even if the land and mobile home are taxed as one, we would not be able to identify a mobile home on the property unless a title elimination form has been recorded.
  2. We are required to collect $25.00 per name from the Seller in advance to order a UCC search. We cannot close without this.
  3. When a mobile home is included in a sale, FULL YEAR taxes on both personal and real property must be paid at closing.
  4. We need the original mobile home title (or a copy) as soon as possible. We cannot order the UCC search without it.
