Questions Winston Sellers Ask
Is a 55+ park a harder sale?
It narrows buyers to age-qualified people. That can also focus the sale. State the age rule clearly so the right buyers find you.
What if my buyer is rejected by the park?
The sale cannot close in that park with that buyer. You would need an accepted buyer, or a buyer who moves the home. Ask the park about its criteria before accepting an offer.
