It’s a big let down when you believe you’ve sold your mobile home and moved forward with plans for your new mobile home. While it doesn’t happen often, it’s wise to be aware as you enter the real estate market, of the many reasons a buyer falls through and what, if anything you can do to avoid it.
Backing Out

If you’re selling your mobile home in Dallas, Texas due to an urgent reason for relocating, the stress of the sale going down the drain can be overwhelming. It’s also time-consuming and expensive when you’re suddenly forced to make last-minute arrangements due to your buyer’s vanishing act. At the same time, if you want to maintain the arrangements you’ve made for moving, you’ll need to act swiftly if your buyer falls through.
Unqualified
While there may be serious buyers who haven’t been pre-approved for a mortgage loan, sorting them out can be time-consuming, intensely trying to one’s patience, and quite costly.
