Missouri mobile home selling checklist
Work through this and you will be ahead of most sellers — and harder to lowball.
Calls to make this week
- Park manager or landowner: can a new owner keep the home on this lot, and what does approval involve?
- County collector: exact payoff on any personal property or real estate tax owed.
- Lender, if a lien ever existed: request a written lien release or a payoff good through a date.
- Missouri Department of Revenue or a license office, if the title is missing: start the duplicate request.
Documents to gather
- Certificate of title, or your duplicate request confirmation.
- Photo ID matching the name on the title.
- Death certificate and probate or small-estate paperwork if an owner has died.
- Lien release or payoff statement.
- Park lease and park rules.
- Tax statements, insurance declarations, and receipts for major work.
- VIN or serial number, HUD label number and a data plate photo.
Photos to take
- All four exterior walls, the roof if safely visible, and under the home.
- Every room, plus the furnace and water heater.
- Every problem area — especially the ones you would rather not show.
- The lot and street access for a transport truck.
Decisions to make
- Stay or move: do you have written confirmation either way?
- Repair or sell as-is: have you priced the largest single repair with a real bid?
- Timeline: is there a park deadline, probate date or foreclosure date driving this?
