I think we need more details to give you an answer. Do you mean one time, or as a dealer? Is the home yours, or are you talking about functioning as a sales agent or broker? Is the home in place, attached to the land, or is it uninstalled, sitting in a set of packages or on a trailer? This may determine whether it is real estate or personal property.

If you are the owner of a manufactured home that is attached to land and treated by the county assessor as real estate, it is just like any other home sale, and all it takes to sell it and transfer ownership is delivery of a properly-executed deed to the buyer, which should be notarized when you sign and then recorded. I would recommend using a professional such as a licensed real estate person, lawyer or title company to assist with the paperwork, although this is not required.

If the manufactured home is "loose" and not part of real estate, we would need more particulars to advise you properly.
