How a Kennewick Manufactured Home Found Its Buyer Fast: Sold by Jake Johnson and the Krista Hopkins Homes Team
This wasn’t just any double-wide manufactured home in Kennewick. It was a property filled with personality, thoughtful updates, and family history. With three storage sheds, raspberry bushes transplanted from the seller’s family farm in Idaho, and a surprisingly peaceful setting below street level, this home offered a unique blend of practicality and comfort.
Preparing the Home for the Market
Before going live, the seller worked closely with Jake Johnson to prepare the property for success. Jake brought in Rocio for a professional deep clean, ensuring the home made a strong first impression the moment it hit the market.
Quick Offers and Multiple Buyers
This listing didn’t stay on the market long. It went under contract twice and was active for less than 24 hours total. When it re-entered the market briefly, it generated six to seven showings and multiple offers almost immediately.
A Willingness to Listen Made the Difference
What ultimately helped this Kennewick home sell so quickly was the seller’s willingness to trust Jake’s expertise. She and her husband made the trip down from their home up north to complete all the recommended repairs. Her openness to feedback and commitment to following professional advice made the entire process seamless.
Selling a Family Home
The home had been her mother’s, and after her mother’s passing, maintaining the property from five hours away became too difficult. From the first phone call in January to the final closing in September, Jake guided her through every step of the process.
Even though the sale ended up being cash, there were challenges along the way, including an easement issue. Jake stayed in close communication and worked through every detail to ensure a smooth close.
A Kindhearted Client and a Successful Sale
One thing that stood out most about this client was her warmth and kindness. After their first in-person meeting, she told Jake, “Oh, we’re going to have to hug!” That moment perfectly captured the relationship they built over the eight months of working together.
