Considering selling your park? Your residents may be your best buyer.

Resident ownership is a way for homeowners in manufactured home communities to purchase their land. You, as the seller, or your representative, works with NWMT to negotiate a purchase and then NWMT works with residents to form a corporation, complete real estate due diligence, and secure financing. We make this process smooth and just like what you would experience in working with any other buyer.

Steps for a successful sale

Step 1:
You, or your representative, work with NeighborWorks Montana (NWMT) to negotiate a purchase price.

Step 2: 
We help the tenants to form a corporation, complete real estate due diligence, and secure financing.

Step 3: 
We help you meet your price and timing goals for selling your property and keep you informed through the whole process.

Our guarantee: 
We will work hard so you don’t have to.

Why Sell to your Tenants?

Selling to your residents is virtually the same as selling to an investor other than some key benefits to you and your community:

  • Selling to your residents ensures stable homes that Montanans can afford in perpetuity.
  • Financing sources are defined and have a proven track record.
  • Your residents will have expert guidance and can gain access to grants to help with capital improvements.
  • Earn a market rate return on your investment.
  • You will receive a smooth and easy process with a proven and successful buyer.
  • Take advantage of the Montana capital gains tax exclusion.
  • The residents you have served will secure their futures through resident ownership.

Selling to my residents made me feel like I could be confident that what I had started wasn't going to change and that the people I cared about would never be forced
to leave their homes."
