Do you want to sell your mobile home in Crawfordville? You have two ways to do it.
We can buy it for cash. You pick the closing day. No repairs. No showings.
Or we can list it for you. Most owners get more money that way. You pay $2,500 when it sells. Nothing up front. Nothing if it does not sell.
The listing runs 30 days, not six months. About 8 out of 10 of our homes sell in that time.
We do both. So we will show you both numbers first. Then you pick.
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
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.
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.
What A Mobile Home Is Worth In Crawfordville
One licensed community, Wakulla Station Mobile Home Community with fourteen lots. Fourteen lots in the county seat of Wakulla County means practically every manufactured home here sits on ground somebody owns, and the sale is a land-and-home transaction with no park office involved at all.
Selling A Home On Your Own Ground
If the acreage conveys, the property transfers together and closes like ordinary real estate. If you are keeping the land, a buyer moves the home, and Florida issues no relocation permit for anything built before June 15, 1976.
Ready To Sell In Crawfordville FL, And What Fast Actually Means
Ready means three things. The title is in hand, or you know it needs reinstating and have started. The build date is confirmed if the home might be moved. And the price you expect for your home is honest, because a small market punishes a wrong number by going quiet. Fourteen lots in town means the tax collector, not a park office, sets the pace of every sale.
Selling A Home Fast Without Giving It Away
A home fast sale and a full price sale are usually only a few weeks apart here. The cash buyer closes in about a week and pays less; the listing takes a bit longer and usually returns more. We quote both the same day so the choice is arithmetic rather than pressure.
When A Cash Buyer Is The Right Answer
An estate to settle, a move that already happened, a property you no longer want to think about. Those are good reasons to take a cash offer. Not knowing what your home is worth is never one, and the valuation that fixes it is free.
The Closing, And What Selling Costs
A flat $2,500 from proceeds at closing, only if the home sells. Nothing up front, nothing at all if it does not, and it is all handled online, which matters when the owner already lives somewhere else.
Three Ways Owners Sell Homes Around Crawfordville
Most owners sell one of three ways. They sell to a cash buyer and take a lower number for speed. They sell through a broker and let the market set the price. Or they try to sell privately, which works occasionally and usually costs more in time than it saves in fees. Homes here sell through all three routes every year, and the right one depends on your calendar rather than on anybody’s opinion.
Homes On Land Versus Homes On A Rented Pad
Nearly every home here sits on its own ground. Homes on owned land sell as property, with the title work at the tax collector doing the heavy lifting. Homes on a rented pad sell with park approval in the middle. Both sell, both have buyers waiting, and neither is harder than the other once somebody who does this daily is handling it.
What Homes In Any Condition Are Worth
Rough homes sell. Tired homes sell. Homes that need a roof sell, at a price that reflects the roof. What does not sell is a home priced as though none of that were true, and the fastest way to find out which you have is to ask for the number before you decide anything.
Ready To Sell Your Home?
Ask for the free valuation. It costs nothing, it arrives in writing, and it is yours whether you sell to us, sell through us, or decide not to sell at all this year.
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.
