Seller refusing to allow marketing to buyers

[Jerry Stanford]

I had a deal that I wanted to wholesale. The one bone of contention was that the seller did not want me marketing the property for others to buy. He only wanted me to buy as he was afraid that if I didn't find buyers that I would not go through with the deal and he wanted to get rid of the property. At that time I didn't know about BP, did not have any money of my own to buy and had no buyer's list to go to.  How would you overcome that type of objection when you are dealing with a wholesale situation??

Of course he didnt want a lockbox and multiple people tramping through his house, and no reasonabl expectation of a quick sale. If he was willing to put up with those things, he would be far (far,far,far,far) better off listing with a broker.

What is your value proposition? In other words, what are you offering that he cannot get elsewhere? It sounds like there isn't anything.

Buy the house and then sell it. If you don't have the.money for that, get a license and list it.
