I am a realtor with a listing in one of the mobile home parks that Brandenburg Properties manages. I have found that their response to my inquiries has been rude and lacking any compassionate. I have a listing on a very old manufactured home (built in 1977). The space rent was arbitrarily increased to $1,316. A loop hole allowed them to ignore the 3% yearly increase that the mobile home rent control allows. They refuse to offer any explanation for this. This is a 55+ mobile home park and I consider this to be senior abuse. We have continued to lower the list price until it is below market value but every interested buyer is reluctant to move forward because of the high rent. The other homes in the park that are not as nice as ours have sold because their space rent is under $800. All I was asking for was a compromise of a monthly reduction that would motivate a buyer to move forward. There seems to be an ulterior motive on their part.
