Real Estate agent for MH?

[blair]

If you plan to buy a new MH from a dealer, is there any reason to get a real estate agent, or do they not even handle manufactured homes? I guess it's not even real estate until it's anchored to the foundation. Anybody know?

Thanks,
Blair

Actually you are correct...the home is not real estate until attached to land..

You might need a real estate agent to help you find a good location for a home..most dealers will have a list of real estate pros who specialize in land sales..They will be much more help than a regular real estate person..

As with the choice of real estate persons..you should be sure you are dealing with a good dealer...Go for it..Good Luck

Thanks, Murray. Since I already have the land, I guess I don't need a real estate agent for anything!
And what's the best way to check on the reputation of a dealer, other than the obvious things like checking with the BBB?
Has anybody had any experience with Bullhead Homes in Phoenix? (Redman dealer.)

Thanks again,
Blair

BBB

State consumer agencies..

State manufactured home regulators..

Search archives of local newpapers..(the wonders of the internet)

Direct referals...Ask the dealer for some...Ask around town..

That should get you started...Good Luck
