Here Are the Show Highlights:

• Jeff explained that one potential challenge to this Tallahassee Mobile Home Park Estates deal was that the owners lived in another state and weren’t present during most of the transaction. In fact, it was their physical distance from the park that motivated their decision to sell, and to invest the proceeds closer to their home. (Jeff, 1:04)
• This transaction proves the point that The MHP Brokers can transact a sale whether or not the owners are present, from running drones to calculate footage to handling the underwriting and all contact with buyers. (Max, 1:278)
• The park had 90 percent occupancy, with 20 lots on about 15.5 acres. There were 11 tenant-owned homes and 8 park-owned homes, with one unoccupied home and one vacant lot. Being part of the thriving major city of Tallahassee and having city water and paved roads throughout, and plenty of room for expansion on those fifteen city acres, there was a lot of buyer interest. As a result, there were multiple offers, and the one they went with was a buyer who owned other parks in the area, and the brokers had worked with him in the past. The buyer was able to get bank financing, and the deal closed promptly. (Jeff, 2:06)
• Well, there was one little hitch. A lawyer forgot to include his fee, so MHP Broker had to do a little price haggling at the end. That proved a little harrowing for a while, but it all worked out fine in the end. (Max, 2:58)
• What Jeff learned (or relearned) from the transaction was that unforeseen issues can come up at any time. Sometimes you have to be creative, but the issues can all be dealt with if you think it out, and the transaction caan close to everyone’s satisfaction. (Jeff, 3:30)

Power Quotes in This Episode:

“We had a little bit of drama at the closing when one of our attorneys forgot to add his fee, so we had to negotiate that out a little bit. Everybody got a little fluffy-tailed, but ultimately, Jeff was able to do the negotiation and get that closing. So yeah, it was a little scary there at the end, because everybody was getting all up in hands about it, but we were able to get it done.” (Max, 2:58)

“Even though issues can arise any time up until closing…we can always find a good resolution and…sometimes we have to get creative. You know, those things can come up at any point and you have to be ready to overcome (them).” (Jeff, 3:30)

“I'll just say that we're able to get to the finish line, and both parties were happy with the outcome eventually, and (to) everybody out there listening, we typically can find the right buyer for you. So, just give us the opportunity.” (Jeff, 3:58)

“We can get funding. We can find the buyer. We can make the experience white-glove for you (the seller).” (Max, 4:07)
