Manufactured homes
Manufactured home appraisals, handled correctly.
Many appraisers simply decline manufactured home assignments. We take them every week — doublewides on acreage, land-home packages, and homes converting to real property for financing.
What these assignments require
Manufactured home appraisals carry requirements site-built homes do not: locating the HUD data plate and certification labels, confirming the foundation and whether the home is titled as real property, and finding truly comparable manufactured sales — which in rural North Georgia takes real MLS digging and market knowledge. Lenders reject reports that get these details wrong, which is why so many appraisers pass on the work.
We document the home, the land, and the site improvements as a complete package, with comparable selection appropriate to financing requirements, including assignments that must meet HUD 4000.1 standards.
Common situations we handle
Purchase and refinance lending on land-home packages; estate values where the family homeplace includes a manufactured home on acreage; pre-sale valuations for owners who want realistic pricing; and appraisals supporting conversion of the home's title so it can be financed as real estate.

Common questions
Do you appraise singlewides and older homes?
Yes, subject to the lender's guidelines when financing is involved. For private assignments — estate, pre-sale, divorce — age is not a barrier.
What should I have ready for the inspection?
Access to the data plate (often in a kitchen cabinet, closet, or near the electrical panel) helps, along with anything you have on the foundation and any additions.
Do you value the land too?
Yes — most assignments are the complete property: land, home, wells, septic, outbuildings, and site improvements together.
