Wanted: Wholesaler friendly lawyer in Edmonton

[Brandon Upright]

Hey BP,

I am just beginning my wholesale journey here in Edmonton, Alberta and am looking for a lawyer to assist me with my closes that has experience in dealing with wholesalers. 

So far I have called/emailed about 25 lawyers and about 10 of them have replied. None of which have ever heard of a "Real Estate Wholesaler." I met with a "real estate lawyer" today for coffee and after I explained what a wholesaler does, he began to tell me that I need my agents license and that to make up the contracts I will need it is going to start at around $3000.... I will not be using him. He also told me he will have to look into the process and costs of attaining a RE license as he "is not sure about the current laws regarding real estate." (shouldn't this be the number one thing he should know??)

Does anyone have a lawyer or a law firm in the Edmonton area that they could recommend to me that has experience with wholesalers/investors or at least knows what a wholesaler is/does?

Thanks everyone!
