DMV CANNOT LOCATE MOBILE HOME

I am trying to purchase a mobile home and the seller does not have the title nor the serial number so I got the number on the HUD label and paid $100.00 to IBTS to provide me with the serial number. IBTS provided a serial number and I called DMV with the serial number they provided to confirm who is in title and if title is clear so we can order a duplicate title and proceed with the sale of mobile home to me. DMV informed the number provided by IBTS is not coming up at all. How do I get clear title to this mobile home? I need to be sure I purchase this clean so nobody can come back in the future and try to claim it. Any help would be soooo appreciated.

I am going through this process right now myself. Did you ever get this fixed?

I did the IBTS thing and the VIN returns NOTHING with DMV. They informed me that I could get a License and Theft Inspector to come out and verify VIN. Or I can go through a bond process to get the title. But I am still hoping there is a better way.
