Meet Rory Manning,
Broker Owner
Helping buyers, sellers, investors, and manufactured home owners navigate California real estate with experience, technology, and a little common sense.
Welcome to Compadre Brokers. I built this company because I believe consumers deserve expert advice, total transparency, and powerful marketing when making some of the biggest financial decisions of their lives. By combining decades of real estate and mortgage experience with cutting-edge technology, we help our clients make better, more informed decisions.
Over 25 Years of Real Estate and Mortgage Experience
Experience isn't just about time in the business; it's about the depth of transactions navigated. With more than a quarter-century in real estate and lending, Rory brings a comprehensive understanding of the market.
- Experience in residential lending, construction lending, and manufactured housing.
- Former mortgage banking experience across multiple markets.
- Extensive background working with buyers, sellers, investors, and builders.
- Proven track record of guiding clients through changing, complex market conditions.
Manufactured Housing Specialist
Manufactured housing requires specialized knowledge that most traditional agents simply do not possess.
Unmatched Experience
Rory has been involved in more than 2,500 manufactured home sales and loan transactions throughout his career, making him one of California's most experienced professionals in this specialized sector.
Deep Industry Knowledge
Expertise spans both land-owned and land-lease communities, including a deep understanding of unique financing requirements, valuation, title issues, park approvals, HOAs, and specific lending guidelines.
A Home and Loan Perspective
As both a licensed real estate broker and a mortgage professional, Rory offers clients a distinct advantage.
Understanding the intricacies of financing often helps clients make much better buying and selling decisions. Whether it's structuring a competitive offer, understanding affordability, or evaluating the return on an investment property, clients benefit from insight into both sides of the transaction.
