About Us: Eva Liland
For 6+ years I have been in the business of selling mobile homes. Yes, those "trailers" that are parked in a mobile home park, nowadays called "community". They don't call them trailers anymore either. Back in 1986 the Department of Housing and the industry as a whole, decided that they needed to update their image and it was decided that a trailer or a mobile home was now going to be called "manufactured home". Well, lots of people still call them trailers or mobile homes, especially mobile homes since they are located in a park, sorry, "community". Anyways, for those of you who has never seen a new or newer manufactured home, boy, are you going to be surprised.
One of my listings, a 2003 Champion manufactured home, is very impressive. It is located in a very nice community in Canyon Country, in a community called Parklane Estates. the original home that was there was un-sellable, to many problems with it. So I went to the owner of the company that I worked for and suggested that we buy it and pull it out and place a new home there. We did and then I found a buyer for the new home.
They got a brand new, completely dry-walled 4 bedroom home with 2 baths, both a living and a family room and a big eat-in kitchen with light maple cabinets and all the appliances included, even a built-in microwave. Approximately 1680 square feet of comfortable living with a vaulted ceiling that makes the manufactured home feel even more spacious.
Now, they are moving out of state and asked me for help to sell it, which I am glad that they remembered me and want to use my services again. I am also glad to say that I left the dealership I was working for in September this year. I went and took my state exam and passed and I am know a licensed real estate agent, instead of a licensed sales person through the Department of Housing. 2 separate licenses, real estate being the more advanced and also I now have access to the multiple listing system, the one reason that made me make the transision. When you work for a dealer, all your listings are exclusive and no other company can show and sell, only that dealership.
I can now service my clients with the same friendly smile and also give them the power of MLS, life is truly great. Another thing I come to realize is that now, with a real estate license, I can sell any home, be it condo, townhome or manufactured home. I know, market is slow but I am doing ok just selling manufactured homes.
Manufactured and mobile homes
Selling manufactured homes is quite a challenge but I have been doing it successfully for 6+ years. When trying to sell a manufactured home, there is no such thing as zero down or a first time home buyers program. Depending on credit, a buyer needs a minimum of 5% down but the FICO score got to be 680 or higher. Anything lower, we are now talking 10% and a FICO of 620 or better. If you are self-employed, your required down payment is now 20-40%.
About a year ago I had a woman who was a cash buyer, wanting to buy a new home in Parklane Estates. She got turned down for park approval. Even with a couple of hundred thousand sitting in her bank account and enough monthly income, no park approval. That was tough, for both of us. I finally found her a home in another community that had different guide lines for park approval and they told me that if she is willing to put up a double security deposit, they would approve her. She did and got a really nice manufactured home for a lower price but with a higher space rent. She was still happy and still is.
If you are interested in purchasing a manufactured home, I would be happy to help you. I certainly know the parks and what it takes to qualify and I can help you with financing too. Just give me a call, Eva 661-714-1643
Canyon Country, CA
A great place to live! Located North of Los Angeles, about 45 minutes from downtown L.A. Situated in the Santa Clarita Valley, together with Valencia, Saugus, Newhall and Castaic. Cleaner air, better schools and a lot of new construction. Sweeping mountain views with summer temperatures around 90-105 degrees. Besides regular residential neigbhorhoods, there are also quite a few mobile home parks, most of them really nice.
