When I first went looking to buy a mobile home, I really knew nothing about them. But early on, I had the great good fortune to meet Chuck and Christine Thorne of Quality Homes in Capitola, California. Right from the start, they helped me understand what the manufactured home market was all about. The Thorne\’s have been designing, building, and installing manufactured homes for many years, and have earned their reputation as experts in the field. Soon we were viewing available mobile homes up and down Santa Cruz County. Christine was tireless in her efforts to find just the right place for me. I immediately came to appreciate her discerning eye for detail; she quickly pointed out things I would never have noticed myself. When there was a question about the roof on one place, Chuck had a professional roofer up there in 20 minutes flat. The whole process gave me a much deeper understanding of manufactured homes: their construction, the rules that govern the market, even insights into the personality of the parks themselves — the subtle differences that make it more than a place to live, but a community to come home to. It was an absolute joy to work with Chuck and Christine and also Heather Gray at Quality Homes. They are those rare folks that combine a no-nonsense approach to business, with an attentive and personal style that inspires confidence and trust. If you\’re in the market for a mobile home, I don\’t think it would be possible to find anyone more capable, more knowledgeable, or more dedicated to their clients than Chuck and Christine Thorne.
