Wholesale complication

[Ronnie Sparrow]

I have my first wholesale deal under contract now. My fee is $5,000. After marketing this property for about one week I now have a buyer. The problem is that one of the potential buyers actually called the seller and made an offer behind my back. This guy tried to,steal the deal from me. Fortunately the seller is staying with me because of the rapport I have built with her. Has anyone ever encountered this? And since this is my first wholesale deal is this going to be the norm or is this the exception to the rule? Your thoughts!
