Owner resource hub
Sell an RV park privately
Selling an RV park starts before a broker listing, buyer call, or letter of intent. Owners need a clean value story, organized diligence files, privacy boundaries, and a realistic view of financing, taxes, utilities, zoning, and guests. This hub gathers the practical owner resources that make a private conversation more useful.
Open the private worksheet >What should I understand before selling?
Start with the value drivers a buyer will test: normalized NOI, site count, site mix, occupancy, seasonality, utilities, road condition, licensing, septic or sewer capacity, expansion room, staff dependency, and how much revenue is recurring versus one-time or seasonal.
What should I prepare before a serious offer?
Prepare three years of financials if available, tax returns, reservation data, rate sheets, utility records, licenses, septic or wastewater files, insurance history, surveys, site maps, equipment lists, employee or vendor agreements, and notes on deferred maintenance.
How does a private direct offer differ from a listing?
A brokered listing can create market exposure. A private direct conversation can reduce staff, guest, and local gossip while giving an owner a real range before deciding whether a broader process is worth the disruption.
Owner questions
Can I sell my RV park without publicly listing it?
Yes. A private direct-offer process can start with a confidential valuation range and limited diligence before any public listing decision is made.
Do I need perfect books before asking for a value range?
No, but cleaner records reduce uncertainty. If the books include family payroll, one-time repairs, personal expenses, or cash-heavy revenue, organize notes so recurring NOI can be normalized.
What is the first thing a buyer will underwrite?
Most buyers start with normalized NOI and then test whether that income is durable enough to finance, operate, and transition without major surprises.
