Sell your mobile home in Savannah, Tennessee

Water access decides the number

A home near Pickwick with deeded lake access is really a land sale with a house sitting on it. The same home a few miles inland is a used home sale. Sellers are often surprised at how large that gap is, in both directions.

So tell us whether the lot has water frontage, deeded access, or neither. It is the first thing we look up anyway, and it is the difference between two very different offers.

Retirement and second place sales

A large share of Hardin County manufactured homes were bought for retirement or as a weekend place. Now health has changed, or the family stopped driving down, and the home sits closed up.

Those homes are often in decent structural shape but have moisture and HVAC problems from sitting. We buy them exactly as they are. Do not pay to have it aired out and repainted before you call us.

• A retirement home the owner can no longer keep up
• A river or lake place the family stopped using
• An inherited Hardin County home
• A rental you are finished managing
• A home that needs work you are not going to do

Rural access and the cost of moving a home

If a home has to leave the property, access sets the cost. Narrow county roads, tight turns, low limbs and long gravel drives all raise what a mover charges, and any buyer subtracts that whole cost from what they can pay.

This is why a home that can stay where it is, on land you own, is worth more to everyone including you. When you describe the property, describe the way a truck would have to get in.

Both sides of the river

Savannah and Crump sit on one side, Shiloh and Saltillo pull in the other direction, and the drive between them is not short. We buy across all of it, but travel and comparable sales are thinner in some pockets than others and we will be straight with you if that affects the number.

Shiloh area properties in particular are a mix of rural acreage and small recreational lots, and those two price very differently.

Title and estate paperwork

The usual holdups here are a title still in a deceased parent's name and an old lien from a paid off loan that was never released. Neither stops us from valuing your home, but both control the closing date.

For estate questions, start with the Hardin County Clerk and, if there was no will, an attorney who handles small estates. We can look at the home while that runs in parallel so nothing waits on us.

What we need from you

Year, size, bed and bath count, whether land conveys and how much, water access if any, and photos of the floors, ceilings, bathrooms and all four exterior corners.

No cleanout, no repairs, no showings. Then you get a call with a number, the reasoning behind it, and an honest word on whether listing it would serve you better.
