Buying or Selling a Home/Required documents for home sale

Question
Hello,

My husband owns a manufactured home in Santa Rosa.  It is in a retirement home park, and he would like to sell it. What documentation is required to sell the home?  He has paid it off, and is now paying rent for the space only.

Answer
Hi Lauren, All you will need is the title and original of registration.  If you have misplaced either of these, go the HCD part of our state's website....usually $25 for a duplicate.
Be sure the park knows he is moving and get your buyer approved before any final arrangements are made.
I always go through an escrow company, and they do all the paperwork, but you can do it on your own if the buyer is OK with no title search, of tax clearance.

All the best...write back if you need anything else...."~ Michael
