Selling a park with private utilities
Why buyers care so much about park utilities
On city utilities, the park pays a bill. On private systems, the park is the utility. That means pumps, pressure tanks, testing, drain fields, permits and the occasional emergency at night. Water and sewer failures are among the largest capital costs a small park can face, and a buyer’s lender will often ask about them before anything else.
None of that makes a park unsellable. It means the system’s condition is part of the price, and an honest description of it makes the sale smoother.
Community wells and water systems
If the park supplies drinking water to residents from its own well, it may be regulated as a public water system depending on how many people or connections it serves, with testing and reporting requirements set by the state. Ask yourself, or your local health department, whether your system is classified that way. We will ask for recent test results and any notices.
Master-metered water included in rent also matters. The park absorbs every leak. Whether submetering is allowed depends on state and local rules, so we treat it as a possibility, not a promise.
Septic, shared drain fields and lagoons
Individual septic tanks per home, a shared drain field and a lagoon each carry different maintenance and permitting. County environmental health departments typically permit on-site systems, while larger systems may need state permits. A permitted capacity tied to a lot count can limit adding homes, which affects value.
If a system is failing or has a notice of violation, tell us. A known repair becomes part of the number. You do not need to pay an engineer or fix it first.

Utility details that help us make an offer
Water source
City, community well or individual wells, number of connections, and recent test results.

Twelve months of water, sewer, electric and pumping bills.

The parcel
Parcel number and county. We pull soils and flood mapping ourselves.
How a direct sale works
Three steps, no obligation at any point, and no cost to you at any stage.
One call or one form
Tell us the address or APN and the rough size. You do not need a survey, a plat or the tax bill in front of you — we look all of that up.
We value it properly
We research the parcel ourselves, at our cost, before we quote. We price it off recent sales of similar acreage and adjust for access, soil, flood mapping, timber and shape. No cost to you, no commitment.
Written offer, your decision
You have our number in writing within 24 hours. If you take it, a licensed title company closes it and we cover the standard closing costs — typically 14 to 30 days.
Selling to us vs. listing it
Both are legitimate. Listing can bring a higher gross price if you have time, the tract is easy to finance and you can carry the taxes while it sits. Here is the honest comparison.
| Selling to Dreamify | Listing with an agent | |
|---|---|---|
| Who you are dealing with | A direct cash buyer — we are the ones purchasing | An agent marketing it to someone else |
| Commission | None | Typically 6–10% on land |
| Closing costs | We cover them | Usually split or seller-paid |
| Repairs, survey, clean-up | Not your problem | Often requested by retail buyers |
| Financing risk | None — cash | Land loans fall through often |
| Timeline | As little as 14 to 30 days once title work is back | Land can sit on the market for months |

What sellers say
Every quote below is a real, verified Google review of Dreamify Properties — 4.9 stars across 14 reviews.
“Dreamify made a fair offer on our property in Alabama… Over the past couple years I’ve had a hundred texts and phone calls from land companies wanting to buy — from low-balling to wanting to put you under contract for 6 months and walk away on the last day. Dreamify followed through on every part of the deal.”
“John, the ops manager, was very professional and attentive to detail in ensuring that our transaction was successfully completed. The communication, updates and follow up was excellent. Highly recommend.”
Questions we get asked
Will you buy a park with a failing septic system?
Yes. A failing system is priced as a repair cost. Disclose it early so it is in the offer.
Do I need a septic inspection or well test before contacting you?
No. Share whatever recent reports you have. Any further testing happens during diligence.
My park runs on a lagoon. Is that a problem?
Not for us. Lagoons carry their own permits and upkeep, and we price them accordingly.
Can I switch to submetering before selling?
You do not need to. Whether submetering is allowed depends on state and local rules.
How fast can you close?
You get a written offer within 24 hours of us having the rent roll and the parcel details, and we can close in as little as 14 to 30 days. Estates, multiple owners or title problems can add time, and we will tell you that up front rather than at the closing table.
