question: Wholersalers vs Real Estate Agent?

[Anthony Woodland]

Hey, I've searched for this topic and came up with no answers so here is my initial question: Why would a seller put their property under contract with a wholesaler vs listing their house with a real estate agent?

A Wholesaler appears to be an instant buyer which seems to be the easier choice. A realtor is a bunch of promises with no real timeline as to when they will sell it or for how much.

Bird in the hand type thinking i'd guess.

I kinda doubt any normal seller deals with a wholesaler knowing that if they can't sell it within a certain amount of time they will dump the deal back on the seller's lap.
