Licensed Florida Mobile Home Broker

One licensed mobile home community serves all of Crawfordville: Wakulla Station Mobile Home Community, fourteen lots. Fourteen, in the largest town in Wakulla County.
Source: Florida DBPR licensed mobile home parks.
That tells you where the homes around Crawfordville sit: scattered through the pine country between town and the coast, each on a private property its owner pays taxes on. Selling one has nothing in common with selling inside a park.
Find out what your home is worth. Tell us about it and we will call you back, usually the same day.
The land and the home are two things you own separately
With a mobile home on an acre or five that you own, there are two sales. Sell the property and the home together, or sell the home alone and keep the ground: two buyer pools, two different numbers on the same property. Most hand over both for one price, never told there was a choice.
When the ground stays with you, we list the home as if the home has to come off the lot. Whoever agrees to buy it arranges the transport, your property is left clear, and instead of writing a check to make the home disappear you cash one.
Owners often start by collecting demolition quotes, several thousand dollars each. A home in sound structural condition still has real value.
Three things settle whether it can legally move
Build date. June 15, 1976 is the day the federal HUD code took effect. Florida will not permit relocating a home built before it. We check the data plate first.
Title status. On owned ground the title was often retired years ago, the county taxing the whole property as one parcel. Reinstating it is routine but slow, so we start early in the process.
Structural soundness. The transport company’s insurer makes this call. Real damage to floor, frame or roof and no hauler takes the job. Cosmetic condition is separate; dated paneling never stopped a sale.
The buyer books and pays for the crew. Our part of the process is checking that plan.

What the acre does to the number
Two values sit on one parcel out here and they move independently. The ground carries road frontage, high land and how the parcel was split off; the home carries its roof, its floors and its year of manufacture. Wakulla County taxes both, and the appraiser’s card will tell you whether the county has been treating your home as real property or as a titled unit with a decal. We read that card before anybody talks about price.
Well and septic come up on nearly every parcel between town and the coast, because no municipal line runs out to most of these lots. A buyer will want to know how deep the well is and when the drainfield last went in, and an owner with those answers ready takes a week off the sale. Insurance is the companion question: the closer the parcel sits to the Gulf, the more the wind and flood premium eats into what a buyer can put toward the home itself.
Crawfordville is the county seat and it is unincorporated, so there is no city hall in the way, only Wakulla County. A good share of the households buying here drive twenty-odd miles up US 319 to work in Tallahassee, and they are weighing that commute against the price the same way they weigh the acreage.
Would a cash offer be quicker?
Often, yes. We buy mobile homes ourselves, so a cash offer can come from us rather than a stranger who found your property in county records. Selling for cash is a shorter process, not a better price.
The cash number is built backwards from resale: what the home brings once the work is done, minus the work, the holding months, and the risk that no buyer turns up. What remains is the cash offer. It buys speed, and cash buyers everywhere price it that way.
Our rule in Crawfordville is the one we use everywhere. Get the free market analysis before you take a cash offer from anybody, ours included, then set the cash figure beside the likely sale figure. If the cash offer still wins, we will buy it. If thirty days of patience beats cash today, list instead. No obligation either way, and the analysis is yours.
One more thing about cash. Some buyers calling themselves cash buyers never buy anything; they tie the property up and shop the contract to investors. Get any cash offer in writing, ours included, and ask what happens to that offer when somebody crawls under it.
Who buys a Crawfordville home that has to be moved
Nearly all live within an hour: parents putting a used home on a corner of family land, small investors buying one at a time for a rental lot, usually in cash, park owners south of Tallahassee filling a vacant pad. They arrive with a plan for the property already formed.
Manufactured homes depreciate while new ones cost what a small site-built house used to, so a solid used home is the best value on the market for anyone selling or looking to buy one. These buyers planned the move before calling.
What selling through us costs, and how the process runs
A flat $2,500, due only when the home sells. Selling through us costs nothing until money changes hands: no percentage, no fees of any kind if it does not sell, and a thirty day agreement instead of six months.
Those fees cover drone and professional photography, a listing in English and Spanish, syndication to twelve platforms including the ones relocation buyers search, screening, negotiation, and a written report every week. Here is what the thirty days look like. Homes that must be moved often sell faster than park homes: community approval does not exist out here, and every closing we run is online.
Every offer reaches you in writing with the buyer’s funding position, so you weigh the offer on its merits. A financed offer and a cash offer of the same size are not the same offer. You pick the offer, we handle the rest of the process, then weigh the two ways to sell against both numbers.
The homes we have on the market sit on My State MLS, statewide rather than Wakulla County, and turn over as homes sell. Call before you buy any of them; not every home can be permitted to relocate.
The questions we get most covers the rest. We are a Florida broker who lists mobile homes and nothing else; we also cover mobile homes in Madison and mobile homes in Monticello.
Call (727) 201-0189, 9am to 6pm weekdays, or put your home on the market.
Start with the free market analysis. No obligation, and the numbers are yours either way.
