Kimberly Massender
Shawn and the team are awesome!! We bought a house through 253 reality back in 2018, they did wonderful! Then when we reached out to sell this year of 2023, once again did an amazing job. The communication with everyone was great! They made it very easy for us to sell while we bought in a different state. I always recommend Shawn and Dana and 253 reality!

Tacoma Realtor Reviews: Frequently Asked Questions
Questions come up again and again before people call. These answers cover MLS listings versus direct offers, how we set a fair price, whether there are fees or commissions, how we differ from a traditional agent, and what happens after you submit your information. Each answer stays short and direct.
Will you be listing my home on the MLS or actually buying it?
Great question. We’re not agents, and we don’t list homes. We are professional home buyers: We buy homes in Tacoma that meet our purchasing criteria. From there, we may repair the mobile home and resell to another mobile home owner or keep it as a rental ourselves.
Do you pay fair prices for properties?
Many of the homes we purchase are below market value (we do this so we can resell at a profit to another home owner). We are looking to get a fair discount on a property. However, in our experience, many sellers aren’t necessarily expecting a large “windfall” on the property but rather appreciate that we can offer cash, we close very quickly (no waiting for financing), and no time or effort, or expense is required on your part of fix up the property or pay agent fees. If that’s what you’re looking for and you see the value in getting your mobile home sold fast…let’s see if we can come to a fair win-win price. (Besides, our no-obligation pricing commitment means that you do not have to move forward with the offer we give… but it’s good to know what we’re offering!)
How do you determine the price to offer on my home?
Great question, and we’re an open book: Our process is very straightforward. We look at the location of the property, what repairs are needed, the current condition of the property, and the value of comparable homes sold in the area recently. As you know, home values have taken a huge hit in the last 5 years and most areas still haven’t seen prices come back up. We take many pieces of information into consideration… and come up with a fair price that works for us and works for you too.
Are there any fees or commissions to work with you?
This is what makes us stand out from the traditional method of selling your mobile home: There are NO fees or commissions when you sell your mobile home to us. We’ll make you an offer, and if it’s a fit then we’ll buy your mobile home (and we’ll often pay for the closing costs too!). No hassle. No fees. We make our money after we pay for repairs on the mobile home (if any) and sell it for a profit (we’re taking all of the risks here on whether we can sell it for a profit or not, once we buy the mobile home from you… the responsibility is ours and you walk away without the burden of the property and its payments… and often with cash in your hand).
How are you different from a real estate agent?
Real estate agents list properties and hope that someone will buy them. The agent shows the properties to prospective buyers if there are any (the average time to sell a property in many markets right now is 6-12 months) and then takes a percentage of the sale price if they find a buyer. Oftentimes, the agent’s commission is 3-6% of the sale price of your home (so if it’s a $100,000 home, you’ll pay between $3,000 – $6,000 in commissions to an agent). Agents provide a great service for those that can wait 6-12 months to sell and who don’t mind giving up some of that sale price to pay for the commissions. But that’s where we’re different: We’re not agents, we’re home buyers. Our company actually buys homes. We don’t list homes. Since we’re actually the ones buying the home from you, and we pay with all cash…we can make a decision to buy your home within a couple of days (sometimes the same day). Again, we make our living by taking the risk to buy the home with our own cash, repair the home, and market it ourselves to find a buyer (which is the hard part in this market).
Is there any obligation when I submit my info?
There is absolutely zero obligation for you. Once you tell us a bit about your property, we’ll take a look at things, maybe set up a call with you to find out a bit more, and make you an all-cash offer that’s fair for you and fair for us. From there, it’s 100% your decision on whether or not you’d like to sell your home to us… and we won’t hassle you, won’t harass you… it’s 100% your decision and we’ll let you decide what’s right for you.
