Sell Your Mobile Home for Cash in Sonoma County

In a Park or on Your Own Land

In a mobile home park, you own the home but rent the space under it. When you sell, the buyer takes over the space rent. If the home stays in the park, management can ask to approve the buyer first, and you need to give the park notice of the sale before it closes. Under California's Mobilehome Residency Law the park can only turn a buyer down for limited reasons, such as not being able to pay the rent. We handle that step with the park.

On land you own, we can buy the home and the land together. If the lot is the main thing you're selling, see our page on how we buy land in Sonoma County.

Title, Decals and HCD Paperwork

Most mobile homes in California that aren't on a permanent foundation are titled and registered with the state Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD), not the county recorder. Each year the owner pays either local property tax or an in-lieu license fee to HCD, depending on the home. If your decal number starts with "L," the home is on local property tax, and a sale needs a tax clearance certificate from the county tax collector.

Older homes often have loose ends: a title still in a late parent's name, years of unpaid registration fees, or an old loan that was paid off but never released. None of that has to be fixed before you call us. We pull the HCD record, and anything owed is paid out of the sale through escrow.

Older Homes and Unpermitted Additions

A lot of mobile homes still in use were built decades ago, and over the years owners add porches, awnings, carports, sheds or an enclosed room, and not all of it was permitted. A regular buyer or lender may walk away over that. We buy the home with the additions in place and with whatever repairs it needs: roof, floors, plumbing, skirting.

What Decides the Offer

We'll be straight with you: mobile home offers vary more than house offers. The number depends on the home's age and condition, the park (its space rent, its rules and whether the home can stay), and the title status. A newer home in a well-run park is worth much more than an older one with title problems. We explain how we got to the number, and you're free to say no.

How It Works

1. Send the address, or the park name and space number, plus a few details about the home.
2. We check the HCD record and the park, look at the home, and send a written cash offer.
3. You pick the closing date. No commissions, standard closing costs covered, and you get paid at closing.
