For Sale by Owner Transfer

For Sale By Owner Transfer

Transfer of Membership Procedures

If you sell your site independently, the following steps must be completed with the Sales Office-

1. Buyer Approval:
   • The buyer(s) must be approved before the transfer fees are paid.
   • The buyer(s) must submit a membership application and submit to a background check, which is a $75.00 fee.
   • Approval typically takes 24 hours after payment.
2. Seller’s Fees:
   • Once the buyer is approved, the seller must pay a $2,000.00 seller transfer fee to initiate the process.
   • This fee is non-refundable and non-transferable in the event the sale is not completed.
3. Compliance Inspection:
   • The Park Inspector will check for violations, read the electric meter, and mark site boundaries.
   • All violations must be corrected within the date given by the Park Inspector.
   • This process takes 7-10 business days after the seller transfer fee is paid.
4. Buyer’s Fees:
   • The buyer(s) must pay:
     • $525.00 buyer transfer fee
     • $500.00 per new membership capital contribution buy-in fee
   • These fees are non-refundable and non-transferable in the event the sale is not completed.
5. Finalizing the Transfer:
   • Once the buyer’s fees are paid, an appointment will be scheduled for the transfer.
   • All parties must be present unless prior arrangements are made.
   • Any outstanding balance on the seller’s account (including dues) must be paid at the time of transfer.
   • If there is a lien on the trailer, a lien release note from the bank is required.
6. Important Notes:
   • Sandy Pines handles only the membership transfer. We do not manage payments, title transfers, or other aspects of the sale—these are handled privately between the buyer and seller.
   • Boat Stake Retention:
     • To retain a boat stake, the new member must provide a boat registration in their name at the time of transfer or within two weeks after.
     • If not purchasing a boat, a Sandy Pines non-motorized boat sticker must be purchased.
   • Transfers must be completed within 30 days.
   • Please be on time for your transfer appointment. Thank you!
