Moving is how our deals get done
Most mobile home sales live or die on one question: who's going to move it? We answer it in-house. When you sell to us or buy from us, the transport, permits, and setup are done by our own licensed installation crew — not a subcontractor you have to find, vet, and schedule yourself.
The move is the hard part of every mobile home deal
A mobile home move isn't a truck and a hitch. It's state permits, an escort where required, a crew that knows how to break down and re-set a home without racking the frame, and a site that's been prepped so the home lands level and ties down right. In Texas, installation work must be done by licensed installers, and the TDHCA regulates how homes are transported and installed.
That's why so many private sales fall apart after a price is agreed: the buyer discovers the move costs thousands of dollars and has a weeks-long waitlist, and walks. When the dealer owns the crew, that whole failure point disappears from your deal.
When we buy your home, the move is our problem — priced into the offer up front. When you buy from our lot, delivery and setup are quoted as part of the deal before you sign. Either direction, you never hire a transporter yourself.
What actually happens when a home moves
If you've never watched one leave a lot, here's the short version of what your deal includes.
Prep and permits
Utilities disconnected, skirting and porches detached, sections split on a doublewide, axles and hitches checked, and the state transport permit pulled for the route.
The haul
An oversize load moves on permitted routes at permitted hours, escorted where the width requires it. Distance, route, and section count are what drive the real cost of a move.
Set, level, tie down
Blocking, leveling, anchoring, marriage-line sealing on multi-section homes, and hookup-ready utility stubs — done to the state installation standard, so the home is sound where it lands.
Do you move homes you didn't buy or sell?
Our crew exists to serve our own deals — homes we're buying, selling, or taking in trade. If you just need a home hauled from point A to point B with no sale involved, call us anyway: depending on the season and the route we can sometimes help, and if we can't, we'll point you to a transporter we'd actually use ourselves. Ask for the transport desk at (210) 441-7040.
What sellers and buyers ask about the move
If my home has to be moved, does that lower my offer?
Yes, honestly — a full move with permits, transport, and re-setup is a real cost measured in thousands of dollars, and it comes out of what the home is worth to us. The flip side: you never write that check or coordinate that work. A home that can stay on its site is worth more; we'll tell you which situation you're in before we quote.
How far can a mobile home be moved?
Practically, anywhere in Texas — but cost scales with distance, route restrictions, and whether the home is a singlewide or a split doublewide. Most of the moves in our deals happen within a few hours of San Antonio.
Can older homes survive a move?
Most can, if the frame is sound and the crew knows what it's doing — that's part of what we inspect before making an offer. Occasionally a home is too far gone to move economically, and we'll say so rather than have it fail on the highway.
Selling, buying, or trading — the move is covered.
