Cameron Porter Doing a deal with wholesaler

When our clients bring us wholesale deals, here’s how we help protect their interests:Deal Analysis – We evaluate the numbers to ensure the property aligns with the client’s investment goals.Secure EMD Handling – We require the earnest money deposit (EMD) be held by an attorney or title company—never the wholesaler.Renovation Support – If the property needs work and our client lacks a general contractor, we refer one from our vetted network.Wholesaler Due Diligence – We verify how the wholesaler controls the property, especially if we haven’t worked with them before.Transparent Fee Structure – Once the contract is finalized, we include a line item for our fee so everything is clear and documented.This approach ensures our clients are protected and positioned for success, even in non-traditional transactions.
