1. Confirm land ownership and distance
Roger checks that the seller owns the ground and that the property is practical for the Louisville-metro service area.
Louisville · Jefferson County, Kentucky
A direct offer for a Louisville manufactured home sold with its land.
We Buy Doublewides is Roger Choate’s local direct-buying business across the river in Jeffersonville. Roger evaluates singlewides, doublewides, and manufactured homes in Louisville only when the seller owns the land and sells the home and land together.
Kentucky records checked Home + owned land only Written offer if it fits
Louisville sellers need to know which asset the records describe.
A manufactured home sitting on land you own is not automatically classified as real estate. In Kentucky, the home may still have an active certificate of title, or its title may have been surrendered through the statutory conversion process. The deed covers the land; the title or recorded conversion determines how the home is conveyed with it.
That distinction matters before any buyer promises a price or closing date. The owners shown on the deed and home title may differ. A mortgage, lien, probate estate, divorce order, tax balance, or missing title can require additional documents or approvals. A normal sale cannot simply close first and repair ownership afterward.
The current Kentucky title path
The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet’s official mobile-home guidance identifies form TC 96-182 for title applications and transfers through the county clerk. Kentucky’s conversion law, KRS 186A.297, requires the applicable affidavit and surrender of the certificate of title for conversion to real estate.
Jefferson County’s land records are maintained by the county clerk. The clerk’s official land-records page explains access to recorded deeds and related instruments. A title company or attorney can compare those records with the home-title or conversion record and identify what must be resolved for closing.

Home in a park?
Roger does not buy it. See the park-home options guide for routes that better match a home-only sale.

From property address to a comparable written offer
2. Inspect condition and records
The home and land are evaluated while the appropriate professionals verify the deed, active title or conversion, owners, liens, and taxes.
3. Review written terms
If it fits, Roger provides a written offer. Compare price, conditions, estimated seller net, preparation work, and timing with your retail-sale options.
We Buy Doublewides charges no company fee or seller sales commission. Valid mortgages, liens, taxes, estate expenses, and other payoffs can still reduce what the seller receives. The settlement statement—not a headline offer—shows the net before signing.
Louisville seller FAQ
Four points that prevent title and timing surprises
No. Roger considers a manufactured home only when the seller owns the land and sells the home and land together. A park, rented-lot, or move-only home does not fit.
No. Kentucky law provides a conversion process that includes an affidavit and surrender of the certificate of title. The county clerk and closing professional must verify whether the home still has an active title or has been converted.
The lawful path depends on the records and ownership facts. The county clerk, title company, probate attorney, or other qualified professional must resolve the issue before a normal transfer can be completed. Roger cannot buy first and fix ownership later.
There is no universal timeline. Owners, deed, title or conversion status, liens, taxes, occupancy, and closing requirements must be reviewed before Roger can give a realistic date.
