My home is in Atoka or Munford and the area has built up. Is the land worth more than the home?

Frequently, yes. In the Memphis growth corridor the parcel often carries the value while an older home on it is a removal cost. We price both ways, package versus land with the home removed, and show you the difference including what removal costs.

I heard my community might be sold. What should I do?

Find out early rather than late. If the community closes, your home either moves or it does not, and moving requires TDOT oversize permitting and a licensed transporter, which on an older home can cost more than the home is worth. Knowing that now keeps your options open instead of forcing a rushed decision later.

Does the flood risk near Randolph and the river affect what I can get?

Yes, through insurance and therefore through the buyer pool. Pull your parcel on the FEMA flood map service to see the actual zone. We buy in the bottoms, we just price the risk honestly rather than pretending it is not there.

Where do I handle title, deeds and taxes in Tipton County?

Titling goes through the county clerk in Covington as an agent of the state. Deeds and recorded documents go through the Tipton County Register of Deeds, assessment through the Property Assessor, and payment through the Trustee.

We buy mobile homes in Tipton County, Tennessee

Tipton County is where the Memphis commuter belt runs out and the Mississippi River bottoms begin, and a mobile home's value here depends almost entirely on which side of that line it sits on.

The manufactured housing stock here

Atoka, Munford and Brighton sit in the northward growth path out of Memphis and have suburbanized substantially, which has pushed land values well above what the older homes on that land are worth.
Covington, the county seat, sits between the two worlds, with an older in town housing stock and a working market of its own.
West toward Randolph and the river, the county turns to farmland and low ground, and the housing there behaves like rural West Tennessee rather than like Memphis suburbs.

The commuter line runs through this county, and so does the price line

An older double-wide on an acre in Atoka and the same home on an acre outside Randolph are not the same asset. In the growth corridor, developers and homebuyers are competing for the dirt, and the manufactured home on it may be a removal cost rather than a feature.

Out west toward the river, the home is the asset and the land is farmland. We work out which of those two situations you are in before we talk about a number, because they lead to genuinely different advice, including advice to sell the land clean rather than to sell us the package.

River bottom homes and water

The western edge of Tipton County borders the Mississippi River, and the bottoms carry real flood exposure. That affects insurability and therefore who can buy your home and at what price.

Check your parcel on FEMA's flood map service so you know the zone rather than the rumor. Prior flooding does not stop us from buying, but it changes the number and it absolutely has to be disclosed before closing.

Growth pressure on rented lots

When suburban growth reaches a county, the ground under small rented lot communities becomes worth more as development land than as lot rent income. Owners of homes on those lots can find themselves with a good home and nowhere to keep it.

If you have heard the community may be sold or closed, do not wait to find out what your options are. Selling a home that has to be moved is a different transaction from selling one that can stay, and the earlier you know which one you have, the more options you keep.
