Question 1

How does a Tennessee mobile home actually transfer to a new owner?

Accepted Answer

It depends on whether the home is still titled as personal property or has been made part of the land. A home that still has a certificate of title transfers the way a titled vehicle does, through the county clerk in the county where the home sits, using the title signed over by the owner of record. A home that was permanently affixed to land and de-titled transfers with the deed to the real property instead, and the mobile home is not listed separately. The Tennessee Department of Revenue publishes the mobile home titling rules, and your county clerk applies them at the counter. If you do not know which category your home falls into, that is the first thing we help you figure out, because everything else in the sale follows from it.

Question 2

What happens if my mobile home has been affixed to the land?

Accepted Answer

When a manufactured home is permanently attached to real property in Tennessee, the title is often surrendered and the home stops being separate personal property. From then on it is assessed and sold as part of the land, and the county property assessor treats it as an improvement to the parcel. That changes who can buy it, how it gets financed, and what paperwork closes the sale. It also means you generally cannot hand over a title, because there no longer is one. Tell us what documents you do have and we will help identify what needs to be reviewed. This is general information, not legal advice.

Question 3

Do you buy in my part of Tennessee?

Accepted Answer

We look at homes statewide and we are most active in Northwest Tennessee, including Obion, Weakley, Dyer, Gibson and the surrounding river and lake counties, along with the East Tennessee valley counties, the Nashville ring counties and the Memphis area. We have county pages for the places we work most. If your home is somewhere we cannot get to, we will tell you that in the first call instead of stringing you along.

Question 4

What kinds of Tennessee homes do you look at?

Accepted Answer

Single-wides, double-wides and triple-wides. On land you own, on family land, on leased land, or in a community where you pay lot rent. Occupied, rented, or sitting vacant for years. Any age, including pre-1976 homes built before the federal HUD construction standard, which most lenders will not finance and many buyers will not consider. Storm and water damage, missing skirting, roof problems, and homes that need to be moved are all normal for us.

Question 5

Do I need to fix anything, clean it out, or haul off what is left inside?

Accepted Answer

No. Take what you want and leave the rest, including furniture, appliances and anything in the sheds. Sellers routinely spend money on repairs before a sale and get back less than they spent, and in a manufactured home that is even more likely because the work rarely raises what a used home sells for in that specific park or that specific county.

Question 6

How do you decide what to pay for a Tennessee mobile home?

Accepted Answer

Four things carry most of the weight. What comparable used homes have actually sold for in that county or that community, not statewide averages. Whether land is included and what the land alone is worth. The real cost of the work needed to make the home livable and sellable again. And the carrying reality, which in a park means lot rent, community approval and any past due balance, and on land means taxes and access. We will walk you through the arithmetic rather than just hand you a number.
