For nearly two decades, SunBelt Home Sales has been helping individuals and families turn their dream of affordable homeownership in Florida into a reality. What started during one of the most uncertain times in modern economic history has grown into one of Central Florida’s most trusted names in manufactured home sales.

Today, that journey is being recognized on a national level.

SunBelt Home Sales was recently featured in MHInsider, a leading publication in the manufactured housing industry. The article, titled “SunBelt Home Sales Makes Waves in Florida,” was published on March 26, 2026, and highlights the company’s growth, innovation, and long-standing commitment to serving Florida residents.

From the 2008 Financial Crisis to Industry Leader

SunBelt Home Sales was founded in 2008 by David Siracusa and Kim Cecil, just weeks after the collapse of Lehman Brothers. At a time when most people were retreating from the housing market, they saw an opportunity.

Starting with a single bank-owned listing in Water Oak Country Club Estates in Leesburg, Florida, the company built its foundation one sale at a time.

“People told us we were crazy to start a manufactured home sales company in 2008,” Siracusa shared.

“But we knew retirees who had saved their entire lives for a home in the Florida sun weren’t going to give up.”

That belief became the driving force behind SunBelt’s long-term success.

Serving Central Florida’s 55+ Communities

Today, SunBelt Home Sales serves buyers and sellers across 11 counties, including:

Lake
Marion

Seminole

The company specializes in 55+ communities, helping retirees and seasonal residents find affordable, high-quality housing options in Florida’s most desirable locations.

Their services include:

Changing the Perception of Manufactured Homes

One of SunBelt’s biggest contributions to the industry has been helping shift public perception.

At a time when manufactured homes were often misunderstood, the company took a proactive approach—educating the market through media, including a weekly radio program that helped showcase the true value of manufactured housing.

Today, manufactured homes are increasingly recognized as:

A cost-effective housing solution
A lifestyle choice for retirees
A smart investment in Florida’s housing market

These partnerships allow SunBelt to expand its reach and provide streamlined home-buying experiences, including efficient title transfer services through the DMV in both Florida and Texas.
