south jersey: Manufactured and Mobile Homes In New Jersey - Buying, Owning and Selling - 05/07/07 07:19 PM
Manufactured (or mobile) homes are handled differently in New Jersey than other types of homes.  If you currently own and plan on selling, or are considering buying a manufactured home, you need to understand the process that you will undergo and the conditions that will effect you when selling and/or buying.  Here are some important points:
1. New Jersey treats manufactured homes as movable (mobile) units and they are therefore licensed by the NJ motor vehicle commission (MVC).  Any licensed NJ real estate agents can handle their sale and the homes can be listed on the local MLS just like any other type of home.  … (4 comments)

Because of the broadcast of his international concerts on local PBS TV in the Delaware Valley, Andre Rieu and his Johann Strauss Orchestra is fairly well known and popular in the region.  I must confess that while I was aware of this Dutch born violinist and his orchestra, I have never watched a complete show on TV or purchased any of his recordings.  However, this past weekend, I was given a set of free tickets to attend his concert at the Boardwalk Hall (the original Convention Hall) in Atlantic City, as the original ticket holders could not make it because of the … (0 comments)
