YOUR PARK SUCCESS PARTNERS

As both park owners and brokers with over $224 million in transaction experience, we bridge the gap between business and real estate.

Between us, we’ve built and sold multiple businesses, managed corporate teams, and owned thriving communities. Rand brings the perspective of a seasoned entrepreneur, while John contributes data-driven analytical expertise honed through years of corporate leadership and investment experience.

Together, we recognize that your park isn’t just an asset—it’s years of hard work, relationships, and vision that deserves proper valuation.

2025 Year in Review – and looking ahead to 2026

Transaction Activity: A Gradual Recovery

After reaching a low point in 2023 as the market paused to digest rapid interest-rate increases, sales volume continued its recovery in 2025, increasing year over year by 29%. Activity has not returned to the highs of the ultra-low-rate environment, but momentum clearly improved as buyers and sellers adjusted to the new reality.

One of the most notable shifts in 2025 was the sharp decline in the gap between asking prices and sale prices. Buyers showed an increased willingness to stretch to meet well-supported pricing, while sellers continued to recalibrate expectations to the new market reality. The result was a healthier market dynamic—and a more active sales environment.

Seller Financing 101

HIGHER SALE PRICE + MONTHLY INCOME

While other owners wait for bank approvals that may never come, seller financing lets you:

  • Command premium prices by solving the buyer’s financing problem
  • Create predictable retirement income with competitive interest rates
  • Close deals in weeks, not months
  • Choose qualified buyers based on track record, not just highest offer
  • Structure terms that work for your retirement timeline
  • Spread out capital gains through an installment sale, which may reduce your tax burden in any single year (consult your CPA for details).
HOW IT WORKS

You receive 10-30% down and finance the rest over 5-10 years at rates you set. You maintain first position on the property title for security. Professional documentation protects your interests throughout the term.

WHY PARKS ARE PERFECT

Mobile home and RV parks generate steady cash flow, making monthly payments reliable for buyers. Banks often struggle to understand these specialized assets, but you know exactly what drives your property’s value.

Wondering if seller financing is right for you? Let’s talk.
