Frequently Asked Questions:
1: Do you only sell new homes, or can you help me by listing and selling my used home?
A: Along with selling new manufactured home Trophy Homes has a large inventory of resale homes. Trophy Homes has a home that will fit with everyone's budget. Call to see to see your new home.
2: What do I have to pay for your listing services, escrow, inspection, etc.?
A: Trophy Homes works on a "net listing". You decide what you need out of the sale of your home and we add our minimum commission on top of that. This type of commission will allow you to know exactly what you can expect to get at the close of escrow.
3: Do you offer "trade-ins" if I want to stay where I am, and purchase a new home?
A: Yes, we have a program that many have taken advantage of. Let us come out and give you a free evaluation on your home and in most cases you can use your home as your down payment.
4: If I own my own land, can I have a manufactured home put on it?
A: Most certainly. Trophy Homes has many different floor plans, and a professional staff of installers that will provide you with everything you need.
5: Do new homes come with any warranties? How do I know what's covered?
A: Warranties cover everything! Each manufacture offer different warranties, but every home comes with a one year warranty that covers everything. After the first year you only pay a small service charge for the service techs to visit your home and they don't charge for the work they complete. Our sales staff will be able to answer any specific questions in this regard.
6: Do I have to pay cash, or can you help with financing?
A: We work with many excellent lenders that can help you find the best loan that fits your needs.
7: Do these homes appreciate in value? Can I build equity?
A: Of course, you will not loose money buying a new manufactured home. In the past this might have been the case, but with the building advancements that the manufactures have incorporated in their homes, the parks are phasing out all the old mobile home and turning the parks into communities. Although the economy determines all things financial, over the last few years, some home prices have doubled!
8: Can I invest in these homes, and rent them out?
A: Sorry, this is not allowed....homes must be "owner occupied".
9: How old do I have to be to be considered qualified for a senior park?
A: Primary resident must be 55 yrs. old, second person's age varies by park.
10: How is space rent determined?
A: Each park owner has the ability to charge a fair market rental for their spaces. Of course location and amenities offered will have a great influence on this issue.
