How Are You Pre-Qualifying Buyers Before Assignments?

[Jeb Durgin]

Hey everyone,

Quick question for the wholesalers in the group:
How are you making sure your buyers are actually ready to close before you assign deals?

I’ve seen a lot of investors run into issues where a buyer claims they’re ready—cash in hand or “funding secured”—only to back out days before closing. It’s frustrating, wastes time, and can cost real money.

One thing that’s been working well for some people I know is having a lender do quick, no-cost pre-qualifications for buyers before assigning contracts. It’s helped avoid fallouts and build better credibility when marketing deals.

Curious—has anyone else done something like this?
Are you open to partnering with lenders to vet your buyers before sending out assignments?

Would love to hear your approach and what’s working best to keep your deals moving smoothly.

Thanks in advance!
