Process
How It Works
Help first. See the deal. Understand what the seller is trying to accomplish. Then determine the best legitimate transaction path — including telling you when there isn't one.
1. Tell us about the park
A short form, an email or a phone call. City, approximate site count, and whatever else you know. Missing information is expected and does not slow anything down.
2. We review what you sent
We look at the property, the income picture, occupancy through the year, the infrastructure and the condition. If something obvious is missing, we ask one clear round of questions.
3. A real conversation
We tell you how we read the park, what we think drives its value, what concerns us and what we'd need to verify. You get our reasoning, not just a number.
4. Discuss possible structures
Direct purchase, cash, financed, seller-financed, or something else that fits your goals. If another qualified buyer is the better fit, we will say so.
5. Written agreement if it fits
If both sides want to proceed, terms go in writing. Your attorney reviews it. Nothing is binding on a handshake.
6. Due diligence and closing
Verification of income, utilities, title and condition, then closing on a timeline that works with your season and your plans.
Transparency
What We Will and Will Not Say
Straight talk matters more in off-market transactions than anywhere else, because there's no third party in the middle keeping everyone honest.
We will tell you how we arrived at a number, what we would need to verify, what worries us about the property, and whether we think a different path serves you better.
We will not tell you we have cash, financing, partners or authority we do not actually have. We will not tell you a property is under contract unless it is. We will not guarantee that we will personally purchase every property we look at, and we will not misrepresent who the eventual buyer would be.
If a transaction would involve another qualified buyer or a partner, we will say so before you commit to anything.

Questions to Ask Anyone Offering to Buy Your RV Park
Ask us these. Ask everyone else these too.
Who exactly is buying?
Ask any buyer to identify themselves and their role. We will tell you plainly whether we intend to purchase, partner, or introduce another party.
How did you arrive at that number?
A serious buyer can walk you through the NOI they used and the rate they applied. If they can't, be careful.
What are your contingencies?
Know what conditions must be satisfied and what would let the buyer walk or renegotiate.
What is your closing timeline?
And what has to happen in between. Vague timelines usually mean the buyer is still looking for money or a partner.
Have you bought an RV park before?
Not disqualifying either way, but you deserve to know who you're dealing with.
Will you assign the contract?
Ask directly whether they intend to close themselves or assign to someone else. There is no shame in either answer — only in hiding it.
General educational information only — not legal, tax or financial advice, and not an offer to purchase. Have your own attorney and CPA review any agreement before you sign.
FAQ
Common Questions About the Process
Do I have to know my numbers before I contact you?
No. Start with what you know. Plenty of first conversations begin with a city, a site count and a rough sense of what the park collects.
Will you actually buy my park?
Sometimes yes, sometimes the right answer is a different structure or a different buyer, and sometimes the honest answer is that now is not the time to sell. We will tell you which one we think it is.
Is there any cost or obligation?
No. There is no listing agreement, no fee and no exclusivity in a first conversation.
How fast can this move?
That depends on the property, the documentation and your goals. Some sellers want to close quickly; many want to close after season. Timing is one of the things we ask about early because it shapes everything else.
