Do you want to sell your mobile home in Tavares? 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 the flat fee covers in Tavares
Drone and professional photography, which earns its keep on the Harris chain: water is most of what you are selling. Listing copy in English and Spanish, twelve platforms including Zillow and MHVillage. Screening of buyers before anyone sees the property, negotiation, and the park approval process run for you. A weekly written report: views, calls, showings, good or bad. Here is what the thirty days look like once a listing goes live.
No advertising fees, no admin fees, no cancellation fees. What the money does not buy is a promise: if the price is wrong, the report says so by week three.
Thirteen communities, 964 lots, one uneven market
Tavares has 13 licensed communities holding 964 lots. Tiki Village Manufactured Housing Community is the largest at 224, then Lake Point 160, Breit Riverest Mobile Home Community 126, Lake Ridge 95, Palm Gardens Mobile Home Park 90 and Mid-Lakes Resort 69. Nothing dominates here.

Most owners want the money question settled first. Our fee is a flat $2,500, paid from the closing proceeds. Nothing up front, no percentage, and no charge if the property does not sell. The agreement runs 30 days, not six months.
Two identical homes, one with a boat ramp and one three streets back, are not worth the same money, and that gap vanishes in a county average. Pricing starts with your community and its water access, then outward to comparable Lake County closings, because buyers shopping Tavares also shop Leesburg, Eustis and Mount Dora. Lot rent drives that comparison: what a buyer can pay for the home drops by thousands when pad rent climbs two hundred dollars.
Should you take a cash offer instead?
We buy mobile homes ourselves when the numbers work both ways, and we know which cash investors in this county actually close instead of tying a property up.
A cash offer has to absorb repairs, carrying cost and a resale, so the cash number lands under the list price every time. If the property is in rough condition, or lot rent is bleeding you monthly, that spread is small and the cash wins. On a lakefront lot with a tidy double wide, the cash offer can cost you a year of retirement.
Sequence protects you. Take the free analysis, read the list price, then set the cash offer beside it. If the cash offer still wins, take the cash and we will say so. Judge how the two paths compare on your own arithmetic.
The free analysis comes first
Send the form and we call, ask about age, condition, community, lot rent and the property’s water access, then build a Comparative Market Analysis. The process is the same on every home: comparable closings, who is likely to buy, and a recommended price with the reasoning written out. If a cash buyer has handed you an offer, bring that number to the call.
No obligation, and the figures stay yours whether you list or not. Selling in the wrong month costs more than selling at the wrong price.
Park approval, offers and who buys in Tavares
Thirteen offices for thirteen communities, each screening on its own schedule: income, background, references, sometimes pets and vehicles. A buyer who cannot clear the office is not a buyer, so we screen early and chase applications. On a 30 day agreement that step decides whether the sale closes or the selling process restarts.
Every offer reaches you in writing with the buyer’s financing position attached, since a buyer who can close beats a higher offer that dies at approval. A first offer is an opening position in the process, not a verdict on the property, and the second offer is often the better one. The owner who grabs the first cash offer that lands usually never asked what the property was worth.
Whether a lender will finance it decides how many buyers you get. This is chattel lending, shorter terms than a mortgage, and an approvable home reaches far more buyers. With no lender in the process, every offer is a cash offer and the selling price moves to match.
Three groups buy around the lakes. Retirees and part-year owners who want the water without lakefront house prices, and they pay the most, in cash more often than you expect. Investors who buy to rent the property out, lower on price and usually paying cash. And people who buy a home to move onto their own land.
If the home sits on private land
Land included makes it an ordinary real estate sale. Keep the land, or clear an inherited property, and the buyer takes a home that must be moved instead. No park approval, the buyer pays for and arranges transport, and Florida will not permit relocating a home built before June 15, 1976.
Plenty of people here want to buy, not sell: the homes we have on the market sit on My State MLS, statewide rather than a Tavares list.
Who we are explains why we handle nothing but mobile homes, and you can contact the office with one question and no commitment. We are a real estate broker who only handles mobile homes, not a general agency. We also work mobile homes in Umatilla and mobile homes in Leesburg.

What A Mobile Home Sells For In Tavares
Thirteen communities holding 964 lots, with Tiki Village at 224 and Lake Point at 160, gives Tavares a workable comparable set without any single community dominating. That evenness is why pricing here rewards care: your community, your pad charge and your condition each move the number, and none of them can be waved away.
Cash Offers, And How To Read One
Resale value, minus repairs, minus profit. Every cash offer in Lake County, ours included. Worth taking on a deadline, worth refusing otherwise, and impossible to judge without the retail number sitting next to it.
Lot Rent Moves The Price More Than The Year Built
Buyers underwrite a monthly cost. A couple hundred dollars of pad charge shifts what somebody can pay by thousands, which is why identical homes in different Tavares communities never sell for the same money.
How Fast Can You Sell A Home Here?
Calls the first week and a contract inside two to four weeks when the price respects the community. About 80% of our listings go under contract during the thirty day agreement.
Who Is Buying Around Lake County
Retirees arriving as the lakefront communities price people out, families who want a payment a normal wage covers, and investors after rent. The residents pay more when a home is photographed honestly and priced with proof.
Selling A Mobile Home Without An Agent
Titled like a vehicle rather than deeded like a house, so agents pass. A licensed broker handles the title, the approval, the screening and the negotiating for a flat $2,500 out of closing proceeds.
Selling In Any Condition, From Any Distance
Rough homes sell here regularly. Condition sets the price, and owners who already moved sell by phone, photographs and an online closing.
Selling A Home Fast, 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 the demand in Tavares is steady and the 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. That is the whole trade-off, and owners who understand it early almost always do better.
We Buy Houses Ads, And What A Fair Cash Offer Is
The we buy houses signs work this market like every other, and the mobile home 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 and counts on you not knowing the difference. We buy 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 here did those four things in week one. Nothing about selling fast requires 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 of them decline the work and the commission math would not support it anyway. A licensed broker who handles only these sales is the practical alternative, at a flat fee rather than a percentage.
A Fair Fee For A Fast Sale
Thirteen communities with no single benchmark means the valuation has to be built rather than guessed. 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 actually see happening every week.
Start with the free market analysis. No obligation, and the numbers are yours either way.
