What Are The Different Fees Paid To Agents Vs Paid To Investors?

You want to sell your mobile home and you’re looking forward to putting some money in your pocket. But did you realize that selling your mobile home may mean you have to PAY money? In this blog post, we break down what are the different fees paid to agents vs paid to investors…

It’s true… selling your mobile home can sometimes mean that you have to pay. (This isn’t always the case but it often is.) We want you to know about the different fees you have to pay because this information may help you decide whether to work with an agent or to sell your mobile home directly to an investor.

What Are The Different Fees Paid To Agents Vs Paid To Investors? — Agent Fees

An agent is a salesperson and they will try to find a buyer to buy your mobile home. In order to do this, they will list your mobile home in a listing service and use various marketing efforts to try and find a buyer.

So you’ll end up having to pay some fees to the agent. Those fees usually include a commission if they can sell the mobile home (this is the highest amount of money you’ll have to pay and it’s often about 6% of the sale price of the mobile home or about $6,000 for a $100,000). There may be other fees you have to pay as well, and these might include different advertising fees or other costs associated with selling your mobile home. There might be a fee to list your mobile home, or there might be a fee to the agent’s brokerage or there might be a fee to get a sign in front of your mobile home or there might be a fee for the title company… the list goes on and on. You can ask the agent about these and they should tell you.

What Are The Different Fees Paid To Agents Vs Paid To Investors? — Investor Fees

This is the part that surprises most mobile home-sellers: for most investors, there are rarely any fees to cover. Investors will usually take care of all fees associated with selling. Plus there’s no commission to pay because they’re not agents so they’re not listing your mobile home. You might be responsible for closing costs but this depends on the investor so make sure you ask the investor who pays for those costs.

The One “Fee” You May Not Be Thinking Of

There’s one more cost (“fee”) that you might not be thinking of: when you work with an agent, they’ll get you to fix up your mobile home, and then you’ll have to pay bills and taxes for as long as it takes the agent to find a buyer. So although this isn’t a fee to the agent, it’s a cost you’ll have to pay because of the agent… yet when you sell the mobile home to an investor, they buy quickly and as-is so you end up saving the cost to fix up your mobile home as well.

So what’s right for you? It depends on how much you’re willing to pay and how quickly you need to sell your mobile home.
