Licensed Florida Mobile Home Broker

Starke has four licensed mobile home communities holding 93 lots between them: Olin’s Mhp with 50, Westmoreland Trailer Ct with 18, Brown’s Mobile Home Park with 14 and Townsend Mh Court with 11.
Ninety-three lots. Bradford County has only two cities with licensed parks at all. Which means the mobile homes around Starke are overwhelmingly on land people own.
Find out what your home is worth. Tell us about it and we will call you back, usually the same day.
Selling off your own land is a different transaction

There is no community office to approve your buyer, which removes the slowest step in most mobile home sales. These often close faster because of it.
What replaces it is where the home is going and how it gets there, and that is the whole negotiation. We market them as exactly what they are: homes on private land that need to move, with the land not for sale, so the calls you get are from people who understand what they are looking at.
What decides whether it can move
The build date. The federal HUD code took effect on June 15, 1976. Florida will not permit relocating a home built before that, and there is no workaround. If your data plate says 1976, the exact date decides it.
The title. On land you own it has very often been retired, and the county taxes the home as real property along with the ground. It has to be reinstated at the tax collector before anything can transfer. Not hard, but it takes time.
Structural condition. The transport company’s insurance makes that call, not us. Worn, dated and unattractive all sell perfectly well. Structurally unsound does not travel.
The buyer pays for the move. Our part is checking they have a real plan before you are counting on them.
Before you pay somebody to demolish it
Most people here start with demolition quotes and they come back in the thousands. A structurally sound home has genuine value to somebody even needing work, and the question is which side of that check you should be on.
We tell you what it is worth first, free, and you decide from there. Then judge listing versus taking a cash offer.

What it costs
A flat $2,500, paid only when it sells. Nothing up front, nothing if it does not sell, no percentage. Thirty day agreement.
Professional photography, syndication to twelve platforms including the marketplaces where relocation buyers actually look, buyer screening and negotiation, and a written performance report every week. That is the process we follow, and closings are handled entirely online.
If you have land here and want a home on it
The other half of the same market. Homes we are listing at the moment are on My State MLS, statewide rather than Bradford County specifically, and the list changes as homes come and go.
Call before you commit to anything you find, because not every home can be permitted to move and it is a short conversation to establish.
What most sellers ask us covers the rest, and a licensed Florida mobile home broker explains the license this needs. We also work mobile homes in Saint Augustine and mobile homes in Daytona Beach.
Call (727) 201-0189, 9am to 6pm Monday through Friday.
