Parties
Identify seller, wholesaler/assignor, and buyer/assignee precisely, including business entity type and state of formation to establish contractual capacity and service addresses.
A properly drafted Wholesale Real Estate Agreement clarifies obligations, protects deposit and assignment fees, and reduces title and closing delays. It sets expectations for contingencies and transfer mechanics, which helps avoid disputes and streamlines transactions between seller, wholesaler, and end buyer.
Typical participants in a wholesale transaction and their primary roles.
The agreement is useful for sellers who prefer contract-level transfers and professionals who facilitate assignment closings.
Identify seller, wholesaler/assignor, and buyer/assignee precisely, including business entity type and state of formation to establish contractual capacity and service addresses.
Include legal description, parcel or tax ID, and municipal identifiers so the subject property is unambiguously described for title and recording purposes.
Detail base price, earnest money, allocation of costs, and mechanism for paying the assignment fee at closing or earlier as agreed.
Specify whether the contract is assignable, required consents, assignment fee mechanics, and any limitations on transferability or substitute buyers.
List inspection, title, financing, and due-diligence periods with explicit cure actions, notice requirements, and termination consequences for unmet contingencies.
State each party’s representations: authority, no pending liens, accurate disclosures, and seller’s ability to convey marketable title at closing.
