What should manufactured home dealers provide to ensure transparency in transactions?

Providing clear and comprehensive pricing information is essential for manufactured home dealers to maintain transparency in transactions. This ensures that potential buyers fully understand the costs associated with purchasing a home. It includes not just the base price of the home but also other expenses such as delivery fees, setup charges, taxes, and any additional costs that might arise during the transaction.

By presenting all pricing information upfront, dealers build trust with their customers, allowing them to make informed decisions without hidden fees or surprise charges later on. Transparency in pricing also aligns with ethical sales practices and helps cultivate long-term relationships with customers, which can lead to positive referrals and repeat business.

In contrast, approaches like vague representations of home value do not provide the necessary clarity, while focusing only on financing options ignores other critical aspects of the purchase. Similarly, disclosing details of previous owners may not be relevant to the current transaction and does not directly contribute to the buyer's understanding of the home's pricing.
