Do you want to sell your mobile home in Starke? 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.
Ninety three lots, and what that tells you
Source: Florida DBPR licensed mobile home parks.
Four licensed communities in Starke hold 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.
Bradford County has only two cities with licensed parks, so the mobile homes around Starke sit overwhelmingly on land their owners hold outright. Selling one of those is a different process from selling on a rented pad.
Townsend Mh Court is the outlier: its Lake Drive address carries a Starke zip but sits over the line in Clay County, so three parks and 82 lots are all that Bradford itself licenses. Rented pads are that scarce. If one of those small parks ever closed, the households inside it would have nowhere local to move a home to, and that shortage is part of why a sound home on ground you own holds its value out here.
No local comparable sale exists to lean on. A valuation gets built from Bradford County and the counties either side, weighted toward homes like yours in age, size and condition.
Selling a home off land you own
No community office has to approve your buyer, removing the slowest step in most mobile home sales. What replaces it is where the property is going and how it gets there. We market these as exactly what they are: homes on private land that need to move, with the land not for sale. Investors who buy a home for an empty lot are a steady share of the buyers, along with families putting a parent on their own property.
The build date. The federal code took effect on June 15, 1976. Anything older cannot be permitted to relocate in Florida. The data plate has the exact date.
The title. Where the ground is yours the title has usually been retired, the county taxing the whole property as one parcel. Reinstating it at the tax collector is slow and has to happen before a transfer can. Start the day you decide to sell.
Structural condition. The transport company’s insurer makes that call. Tired, dated and plain ugly all ride down a highway fine. Structurally unsound does not.
The buyer books and pays for the move. Our part of the process is checking the plan is real before you count on the sale.
Before you pay somebody to demolish it
Most owners in Starke start with demolition quotes on a property they cannot use, and those run into the thousands. Demolition is the one route where nobody pays you anything, so even a modest cash offer beats it. The buyers who buy a home in that condition exist; they just do not knock on doors. Selling it beats paying to remove it, so get the value first, at no cost, then weigh listing versus taking a cash offer on figures rather than on whichever offer landed first.
Would a cash offer be better than listing it?
Because we buy mobile homes as well as broker them, both routes get laid out without a thumb on the scale. A cash offer is our own funds with a closing date attached, no lender, nothing conditional. It will also be the smaller figure. Whoever pays cash carries the property, absorbs what the condition demands and resells it, and those costs come out first.
Start with the free analysis. It carries no obligation. See what the property would list for, set the cash offer beside it, and choose with both in view. If the cash offer wins on your facts, take the cash and we buy the home on your schedule.
Some owners take the cash and we buy it outright. No fee attaches, because on that sale we are the buyer, not the broker. Most list instead, once the distance between a cash offer and a list price is clear. Either way the process starts the same.
Never take a cash price named over the phone before anyone has seen the home. Cash buyers who move that fast trim the number later. Our cash offer comes in writing with the reasoning attached, and the cash is ours, not borrowed, so the figure stays live for the window we name. A verbal offer is not the same offer.
Who is actually driving out here to buy
Starke sits on US 301 between Jacksonville and Gainesville, and those two drives are what put people into a manufactured home in Bradford County. Shands and the university pull one set of commuters south. The Jacksonville side pulls another north. Camp Blanding brings in short-term residents who want somewhere affordable to put a family for the length of a posting. None of those groups pay Duval or Alachua money, and none of them mind a dated kitchen. What they want is room, a well that runs and a roof that does not leak. Price a home for that audience and it moves. Price it against a Gainesville listing and it sits until you drop it twice.
The fee for listing it
A flat $2,500, paid at closing and only if the home sells. Nothing up front, no fees if the sale never happens, no cut of the price. Charged the usual way, as a percentage with fees on top, the same work costs several times more on a Bradford County property. A thirty day agreement, not six months.
For that: professional photography, syndication to twelve platforms including the marketplaces relocation buyers use, buyer screening and negotiation, and a weekly report showing views, calls, showings and every offer received. That is the process we follow, and closings are handled online, so selling from out of state changes nothing.
If you own land here and need a home for it
Homes we are listing at the moment sit on My State MLS, statewide rather than Bradford County, and it turns over. Call before you buy from it, because not every property can be permitted to move.
What A Mobile Home Is Worth In Starke
Four communities holding 93 lots between them, the largest being Olin’s with 50. A market that size produces almost no recorded sales, so the valuation comes from across Bradford County and the surrounding area, weighted toward homes genuinely like yours rather than from whatever the neighbor happens to be asking.
Selling A Home Off Your Own Land
Most manufactured housing around Starke sits on private ground. If the land conveys, everything transfers together. If you are keeping the acreage, a buyer moves the home, and Florida issues no relocation permit for anything built before June 15, 1976.
Ready To Sell In Starke 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. Ninety-three lots in town means the title work, not a park office, is usually the critical path.
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 Starke
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
Most homes here sit on owned ground rather than a rented pad. 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.
What most sellers ask us covers the rest, and a licensed Florida mobile home broker explains why a realtor’s license does not cover this: a mobile home moves on a state title, not a deed. We also work mobile homes in Saint Augustine and mobile homes in Daytona Beach, often in the same week as a Starke listing.

Call (727) 201-0189, 9am to 6pm Monday through Friday. The analysis is free, a cash offer costs nothing to ask for, and we walk you through the process before you commit to selling.
