Chipley has one licensed mobile home community: Cedar Branch Mhp, with 10 lots.
Ten lots in the county seat of Washington County. So a mobile home here is on private land, near enough without exception, and that decides everything about how it sells.
Find out what your home is worth. Tell us about it and we will call you back, usually the same day.
No park approval, and no local comparables either
The good news first. In a community the park screens your buyer and can turn them down after you have agreed a price, which is normally the slowest part of a mobile home sale. Out here that step does not exist, and these often close faster because of it.
The harder part is that a ten-lot park generates no comparable sales, so there is nothing local to anchor a price to. We work from Washington, Holmes and Jackson counties, weighted toward homes genuinely like yours, and we name the sales that carried the weight.
What replaces the approval step is where the home is going and how it gets there. We advertise it as exactly that: if the home has to come off the lot, land not for sale, so the calls come from people who understand what they are looking at rather than from people who assumed the acreage came with it.
Michael is still part of the conversation
The 2018 storm went through this county hard, and a good many homes still carry repairs, partial repairs, or damage nobody ever properly put right.
We do not pretend otherwise, and we will not send you off to spend money that will not come back in the price. Buyers in this part of the state expect to do work and they price it in.
If a home is genuinely past repair there is still often a buyer. If there is not, we say so rather than take the listing and let it sit while you wonder why the phone is quiet.
Three things settle whether it can move
The build date. The federal HUD code took effect on June 15, 1976, and Florida will not permit relocating anything older. No exceptions. We ask for the data plate on the first call.
The title. On land you own it has usually been retired so the county could tax the property as one piece, and reinstating it at the tax collector is routine but slow. Nothing transfers until it is done.
The frame. Whether a home survives the highway is the transport company’s insurer’s decision, not ours. Dated and shabby travel perfectly well; a compromised chassis does not.
The buyer pays for the move and arranges it. Our part is checking their plan is real before you are counting on it.
We produce the number first, free
Fill in the form and we will call you, ask about the home, its age, condition and where it sits, and produce a full market analysis with a recommended list price and the reasoning written out.
No obligation, and the figures are yours whether you list with us or not. Demolition quotes out here run into the thousands, so it is worth knowing what the home is worth before you pay anybody to remove it.
Then weigh the options, listing against a cash offer.

What it costs
A flat $2,500, paid only when the home sells. Nothing up front, nothing if it does not sell, no percentage. Thirty day agreement.
Professional photography with drone coverage, which earns its keep on land because the setting is much of what a buyer is paying for. A written listing in English and Spanish, syndication to twelve platforms, buyer screening, negotiation, and a written report every week. That is our process from start to finish.
Closings are handled entirely online. Several of our panhandle sellers have never met us in person.
Our background explains how we ended up doing only mobile homes, and what a mobile home broker actually does covers why this takes a different license from a realtor’s.
If you have land here and want a home for it, our active listings on My State MLS cover the whole state rather than Chipley specifically, and the list changes as homes come and go.
We also work mobile homes in Bonifay and mobile homes in Marianna.
Call (727) 201-0189, 9am to 6pm Monday through Friday.
