Wholesaling off market deal with realtor??

[Account Closed]

Hello all,

I found a vacant home recently , I skip-traced the home and left a message for owners. In return I received a call from a realtor who told me the family was interested in selling and that they preferred to use a realtor to negotiate. They accepted my offer, and the realtor presented with a standard realtor contract. Part of the contract states that I can’t assign unless otherwise giving written consent to seller. I never told the realtor that I intended to wholesale contract. What should I do? Is the fact that the house is off market make a difference?

You’re help is greatly appreciated.

The agent should request proof of funds from you so you don't jerk the seller around.
