Do you want to sell your mobile home in St Petersburg? 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.
What listing one costs here
A flat $2,500, due at closing and only if the home sells. Nothing up front, no percentage, no photography or marketing fees, and nothing at all if you take the property back off the market in week two.
Pinellas values run above the state average, so a percentage commission climbs with every dollar we negotiate, and the fees under it climb too. Ours never moves: the one cost of selling you can know before the process starts.
Our agreement runs thirty days, not the six months standard in this trade, so selling here means the process has to earn its next month.
Twelve communities, and what scarcity does to your price
Source: Florida DBPR licensed mobile home parks.
Twelve licensed mobile home communities are left inside St Petersburg, holding 1,357 lots. That is a small number for a city this size, and smaller than a decade ago. Selling into shrinking supply works in your favor if the price rests on evidence.
Silver Lake Mobile Home Resort on 24Th Street North is the largest at 460 lots, better than a third of the citywide total. Highland Mhp on 58Th Ave N holds 192, Mobel Americana Dba Americana Cove on First St Ne another 137, and Vagabond Mhp on 46Th Ave N 133.
Scarcity cuts both ways. Fewer communities means fewer homes listed, and a buyer who wants to buy in St Petersburg has little to compare, which supports your price. It also leaves fewer recent sales to price against, so valuing a property here means working outward from Pinellas County and adjusting for lot rent, age restriction, community and condition. Done carelessly, that is how a St Petersburg home lists thousands under its worth.
Your buyers are shopping Largo, Pinellas Park and Clearwater the same afternoon, so the price has to hold up countywide.
Cash offer or listing, with both numbers visible
We buy mobile homes and we broker them, so both routes can be set out plainly. A cash offer is our own funds with a date attached: no lender, no appraisal, no fee to us on top. It is also the smaller number, always, because whoever writes the check absorbs lot rent, the repairs the condition calls for, and the resale risk.
So ask for the analysis first. It is free and carries no obligation. Look at what the property would list for over thirty days, set the cash offer against that, and decide holding both. If the cash offer still wins, take the cash and we buy on your schedule. An estate settled from out of state, an empty property running up lot rent: there the cash offer wins, and speed earns its discount.
Most St Petersburg owners who ask for a cash offer end up listing once they see the gap. A minority take the cash, and on those we buy the property directly, with no commission in the middle.
Nobody should accept a cash figure named over the phone before anyone has looked at the property. Cash buyers who quote that fast mark it down afterward. Our cash offer arrives in writing with the reasoning behind it, because a written offer and a verbal offer are not the same offer. Judge listing versus taking a cash offer once you can see both numbers, since selling and taking cash are two different products.

What the thirty days actually look like
Professional photography with drone coverage, because buyers here decide from a phone screen. The description runs in English and Spanish and syndicates to twelve platforms buyers actually visit.
Then the part sellers rarely see, where weeks get lost in selling a mobile home: screening buyers before anyone views the property, running the negotiation, and carrying the park application through the community office. Approval rules in St Petersburg communities are rarely published, and knowing which office clears somebody in three days and which takes three weeks often decides whether a sale closes in time.
Every week a written report reaches you: views, impressions, calls, texts, showings, every offer received, and where the listing sits. Here is what to expect once you list, and the closing process runs online from the first signature to the last.
When the home comes off the lot, and what buyers can borrow
Redevelopment pressure in Pinellas is real, and some sales end with the home hauled away. If that is yours, if the home has to come off the lot covers what decides whether it can move, starting with the build date: Florida will not permit relocating a home built before June 15, 1976. The buyer pays for transport and books it, and our part of the process is confirming the plan is real. Many of those buyers are investors who buy to fill a rental lot elsewhere.
Read how buyers pay for these homes before settling on a price, because in this bracket what somebody can borrow decides who can buy.
What A Mobile Home Is Worth In St Petersburg
Twelve communities holding 1,357 lots is a small inventory for a city this size, and smaller than it was a decade ago. Scarcity works in a seller’s favor here: fewer homes come to market, the land underneath is valuable, and buyers who want this kind of housing in Pinellas have limited options. That is a real advantage, and pricing should reflect it rather than ignore it.
Lot Rent And What Scarcity Does
A buyer underwrites the monthly cost first, so pad charge moves the sale price by thousands. But with only twelve communities left inside the city, a well kept home in a stable one commands attention that the same home elsewhere would not.
Who Is Buying In Pinellas
Retirees who want to stay in the county without a house payment, working households priced out of St Petersburg housing, and investors who know the ground is appreciating. The residents pay the most when a home is presented properly.
Selling A Home Fast In St Petersburg FL, And What A Fair Price Looks Like
Fast and fair are not opposites here. A home priced where the market has already been buying sells fast, because demand in St Petersburg FL is steady and supply is not. A home priced on hope sits, takes a cut, and sells late for less than a fair number would have brought in week one.
We Buy Houses Ads, And What A Fair Cash Offer Is
The we buy houses signs work this market like every other, and the buyers behind them run identical arithmetic: resale value, minus repairs, minus profit. A fair cash offer subtracts honest repair costs; an unfair one pads them. We buy houses and mobile homes ourselves, and we still show the retail figure so our own number has to be fair on its face.
How To Sell Your Home Fast Without Discounting
Locate the title, price from real closings, photograph the home honestly, and file the park application the day a buyer commits. Owners who sell a home fast did those four in week one. Selling fast never required giving up a fair price.
Why Agents Skip This Work
Agents build their business around deeds, lenders and appraisals. A titled home on a rented pad has none of those, so most decline and the commission math would not support it anyway. A licensed broker handling only these sales is the practical alternative in a market this specialized.
A Fair Fee For A Fast Sale
A flat $2,500 from closing proceeds, paid only when the home sells, on a thirty day agreement. Nothing up front, nothing at all if it does not sell, and a fair price for work you can see happening every week.
We are licensed to broker mobile homes in Florida specifically, a different license from a realtor’s because ownership passes by state title rather than by deed. We also work mobile homes in Pinellas Park and mobile homes in Seminole.
Call (727) 201-0189, 9am to 6pm Monday through Friday. We will price the property, put a cash offer beside it, and explain the process end to end. None of it costs anything, and selling is never the only answer we will give.
