Brenton Basinger
Licensed Florida Mobile Home Broker
License BH 1149137-1. When you call, you get me or Marie, not a call center.
Fill in the form above and we will call you, ask a few questions about the home, and put together a complete market analysis: what comparable homes have actually sold for, what you are competing against right now, and what we think yours should list at. We will walk you through it on the phone.
It is free, there is no obligation, and the numbers are yours whether you list with us or not.
Same Time. More Money.
Every cash-offer company in Florida runs on one idea: if you want it done fast, you have to take less. We think that is mostly untrue.
We can do the same thing a cash offer does, and get you considerably more money, in about the same amount of time. We find a qualified, park approved buyer and sell your home at retail price. Around 80% of our listings go under contract within 30 days.
You pay a flat $2,500 when it sells, and nothing at all if it does not. The listing agreement runs 30 days, not six months.
A Professional CMA, Before You Commit To Anything
Most people selling a mobile home are working from a number somebody guessed at. We put together a Comparative Market Analysis, the same kind of report an agent produces before listing a house. If you have sold a house before, you may know it as a CMA. Almost nobody does one for a mobile home, and it is the reason our sellers are not guessing. It works the same whether yours is called a mobile home, a manufactured home or a trailer.
Your CMA includes:
- Your home and where it sits: year, size, construction and condition, plus the type of community and what the lot rent runs. In a park, the lot rent can move the value as much as the home itself does.
- Comparable sales, what homes like yours have actually sold for nearby, not what they were listed at
- What you are competing against right now, because the homes on the market today set your ceiling
- A recommended list price, with the reasoning behind it
A real analysis, start to finish. This seller asked us for $52,000. We told them to list at $59,999, and showed them why. View the full report
Nobody else in the mobile home space does this for free. Cash buyers in particular will not, because their margin depends on you not knowing the number.
What You Get Every Week After You List
Once your home is listed, you get our proprietary Listing Performance Report every week. Views, impressions, calls, texts, form inquiries and every other piece of prospective buyer activity on your home, so you know exactly how your listing is performing and where the interest is coming from.
One week of a real listing. Views, impressions, leads by platform, calls, texts, showings and price history. View the full report
This is the part that sounds small and is not. Ask anyone who has listed a mobile home with a park office how often they got an update.
Why I Got My Broker License
I did not set out to be a broker. I was an investor.
I bought mobile homes across Florida and I put real money into them. I was out there working on them myself, alongside the crews, gutting them down to the frame. New kitchens. New flooring. New air conditioning. Fresh paint through the whole home. I never cut corners, because I knew what one of these homes was worth when somebody actually did the work properly.
Homes inside parks, homes sitting on private land, and homes that had to come off the land entirely and be moved somewhere else. I did all of it, which is why very little about a mobile home sale surprises me now.
Then I had to sell them, and that is where it fell apart every time.
I would ask around for someone to handle the sale, and there were only ever two answers. The broker working out of the park office. Or somebody living in the community, usually retired, brokering a few homes on the side to supplement their retirement income.
I tried both. Not once each. Repeatedly, in different parks, hoping the next one would be different. Every time I signed what was put in front of me, and every time it was a six month contract.
Then I would wait.
Lot rent came out on the first of the month. Then insurance. Then the first of the next month, and the one after that.
Most of these homes were hours from where I live, so once it was listed the only way I knew anything was to ask. Any showings this week? Any feedback? Anything at all?
So I would call. Voicemail. I would call again the next week and the voicemail box was full and not accepting new messages.
Three months in, I still had nothing. Four months in, I was paying every month to hold a home that nobody was actively trying to sell. Five months in, I was just counting down the days until a contract I never should have signed finally ran out.
That was not one bad broker. That was both kinds of broker available to me, more than once, in more than one park. And the money was not even the worst part. The worst part was doing everything right, handing it to somebody who was supposed to be the professional, and then finding out that nobody was going to do anything at all. And that I had no way to make them.
So I got my license and worked out how to do this properly. I built a process that sold my own homes in under 30 days.
Then I started talking to other people around the state who owned mobile homes, and I kept hearing my own story coming back at me. Homes sitting empty month after month. Listings nobody could get a straight answer about. People who simply wanted somebody to do the job they had been hired to do.
That is the business now. We find a qualified, park approved buyer and sell your home at retail price, in roughly the time a cash sale would take. You get considerably more money. And you are never left wondering what is happening, because we send you a report every week whether there is good news in it or not.

We tried two realtors before him but it was not until he took over the handling of getting our mom’s MH sold, did things happen. When you call, he answers. When you email, he answers. That was huge.
Then You Choose, With The Number In Front Of You
Once you know what the home is worth, the decision is straightforward. Here is what each route actually means.
| Cash offer | List it with us | |
|---|---|---|
| What you get | A discounted price, in exchange for speed | Retail price from an end buyer |
| What it costs | Nothing | Flat $2,500, only when it sells |
| How long | As fast as you can close | Around 80% under contract within 30 days |
| Repairs | Not required | Not required, we list and sell it as is |
| Best when | You need it gone on a deadline | You want the most money for it |
Worth knowing: most real estate agents will not list a mobile home at all, particularly one in a park. Titles, park approval and lot rent work nothing like a house sale, and the commission on a lower priced home does not justify learning it. That is the gap we fill. You can see every option side by side on our comparison page.
After 15 months on the market and no offers, Brenton was able to close a deal in 30 days. We are very appreciative… for his flexibility in working with us and his increased marketing exposure. The quality photos really did make a difference.
How The 30 Days Actually Works
- We work out what it is worth. A few questions on the phone, then the market analysis. Free, and yours to keep whatever you decide to do next.
- We photograph it and list it, in English and Spanish. Professional photography, a written description, and syndication to the twelve platforms where mobile home buyers actually look. A large share of buyers in Florida read Spanish first, and most listings never reach them.
- We handle access. We coordinate showings around your schedule, or put a lockbox on the home so vetted buyers can see it without you having to be there. You are not fielding calls from strangers.
- We screen the buyers and get them through park approval. We qualify who is real before they ever see the home, then deal with the community office so you are not chasing anyone for permission.
- You decide on every offer. We bring you all of them, tell you honestly what we think, and you accept or counter. It is your home and your call. We will not push you into an offer you are not comfortable with.
- We close and you get paid. Once the offer is accepted and the buyer is approved by the park, we handle the closing, including the title transfer and all of the paperwork that goes with it. Our closings are 100% virtual. We have sold Florida mobile homes for clients living on the West Coast who never set foot in the state. Our flat $2,500 comes out at closing, and if it never sells you pay nothing.
If your situation genuinely will not wait, we also buy homes outright for cash. That is a real option and we will tell you when we think it is the right one. It is always the lower number, and we will say so rather than let you find out later.
We Help In Any Situation
The reason people call us is different every time. Some of the common ones:
- Too many repairs needed. Instead of financing repairs, we list and sell it as is.
- Facing repossession or behind on payments. Selling can stop the proceedings if there is still time.
- Behind on lot rent, or facing eviction from the park. This moves faster than most people expect, so the sooner you call the more options you still have.
- The home has to come off the land. There is a real market for these. See homes that must be moved.
- You inherited it and you do not live in Florida, or simply do not want it.
- It is sitting vacant and costing you lot rent every month.
- Tenants who have become more trouble than the rent is worth.
- Divorce or relocation, where it needs to be settled cleanly.
- An agent already turned you down, because most will not touch mobile homes.
- You think it is junk. It might not be. See junk or damaged mobile homes.
What Our Clients Say
★★★★★ 4.9 from 58 Google reviews. A few of them, in full:
I have used other organizations in the past and they charged too much, their pictures were taken with a cell phone and their marketing was poor. FMHS was professional at every step… They hired a professional photographer and took drone pictures so potential buyers could see the property.
I will admit that we were skeptical but since he was only signing up for 30 days it seemed like a reasonable chance to take… In THREE HOURS, he sent us a text that he had a full price offer. Two days later, there was a second full price offer.
Really did a fantastic job selling our older mobile home. The pictures made it look incredible and the listing was great. He really went above and beyond and sold the house for more than we expected. We literally did nothing. He took care of everything.
When I needed to sell my mobile home in Florida, I was living in South Carolina. Being 350 miles away was inconvenient and anxiety riddled… Brenton was always available, answered all my questions, alleviated my doubts, and handled everything with professionalism. I got a very good price and I never had to leave SC.

Common Questions
Can I sell my mobile home without selling the land?
Yes, and it is common. If the home sits in a park you are selling the home, not the lot, and the buyer takes over the lot rent subject to park approval. If you own the land and want to keep it, the home can be sold to be moved. See homes that must be moved.
How much will my mobile home sell for?
That is exactly what the free market analysis answers, and it is why we start there rather than guessing. Age, size, condition, the community and what has actually sold nearby all move the number.
Do you only buy junk homes?
No. Most of what we do is listing good homes for market price. We do handle rough ones, and we will tell you honestly if the right answer is removal rather than a sale. See junk or damaged mobile homes.
Can you help with a mobile home on land?
Our focus is mobile homes, including homes in parks and homes on leased or owned lots. Call us and we will tell you straight whether we are the right fit.
What does it cost?
A flat $2,500 when the home sells, and nothing if it does not. No percentage, nothing up front, and a 30 day agreement rather than six months. More on our broker service page and the full FAQ.
