Golden Hills Mobile Home Park

The Art of Thoughtful Transitions

Posted In — Success Stories |

The Challenge

After building & nurturing Golden Hills Mobile Home Park for nearly 30 years, the park owners were ready for their next chapter. They needed more than just a buyer—they needed a steward who would preserve their legacy of quality management while providing fair value and protecting their long-term employees and residents.
 

The Process

Working with broker Rand Hoffman, the owners embarked on a careful transition journey that prioritized finding the right match over simply accepting the highest offer. Through targeted marketing and thorough vetting, Rand identified potential buyers who shared the owner’s values and commitment to community.

“We approach a transaction like a relationship,” explains a member of the buying group. “We understand what the other person needs and then, while protecting our own boundaries, we do everything we can to meet those needs. It’s an approach born of experience and integrity.”
 

The Solution

The thoughtfully structured deal included:

  • Seller financing providing reliable monthly income
  • Long-term employee retention provisions
  • Resident stability protections
  • Clear communication throughout the transition
  • Ongoing partnership between buyer and seller

From the Seller’s Perspective

“What we appreciated about the process was number one was your integrity. You were always looking out for us at every obstacle. We not only felt that, we knew it—you proved it time and time again.”
 

From the Buyer’s Perspective

“What we love about seller carry is it allows us to pay more, and it allows the seller to continue to benefit from a beautiful property they built. We take great pride in the fact that at the start of every month we’re sending multiple owners checks—that’s their retirement, and they continue to be invested in an asset they love.”
 

The Result

Today, the original owners enjoy their Idaho ranch life while receiving steady monthly payments, knowing their carefully built community continues to thrive. The new owners honor the legacy of quality management while bringing fresh energy and resources to the property.
