Sell your mobile home in Lexington, Tennessee

On land means the whole property is the sale

In Henderson County the home is usually only half of what a buyer takes on. The other half is a well or utility district connection, a septic field, a driveway, and the parcel itself. A failed septic or a well that has quit is a real cost, and it is one of the few repair items we ask about directly.

If you do not know the condition, tell us you do not know. An honest unknown is cheaper for you at closing than a guess that turns out to be wrong.

Why owners here decide to sell

The most common call is about a home a parent set on the family place years ago, that nobody has lived in since they passed, and that the family is still paying taxes on for no reason. Second is a home that needs a roof and floors, on a property the owner has already moved away from. Third is a rental the owner is finished managing.

None of those are good fits for a conventional listing, because financing on an older manufactured home is hard to get and the property often needs work a retail buyer's lender will not allow.

• Inherited a home on the family place
• A vacant home costing you county taxes
• Repairs you have decided not to fund
• A rental that keeps turning over
• Moving and unable to take the home with you

Beech Lake and the Natchez Trace side

Homes around Beech Lake and out toward Natchez Trace State Park were often set as weekend places on smaller lots, sometimes with shared access. Whether the road is county maintained and whether the drive crosses a neighbor's ground decides a surprising number of these sales.

Those are also the homes most likely to have sat closed up, which brings moisture and HVAC issues. We buy them that way. Do not pay anyone to freshen it up first.

Parcels that were never split out

A lot of Henderson County homes sit on a corner of a larger family tract that was never surveyed or deeded separately. That does not stop us from valuing the home, but it does affect how a closing is structured, and sometimes a split has to happen first.

Tell us on the first call whether the home's ground is its own parcel. It saves everyone a month.

What to send

Year, size, bed and bath count, acreage, well or utility water, septic, and photos. Floors and ceilings first, then bathrooms, then all four exterior corners, then the crawl space if you can safely reach it.

No cleanout and no repairs. If a tenant is in the home, leave them be and tell us.

Then what

We look at comparable used home activity here, the land, the utilities, the title, and what it would cost to make the home livable. Then you get a call with a number and the reasoning.

If a newer home on good acreage would net you more listed, we will say that instead of talking you into a cash sale.
