Wholesaling real estate listings? Why or why not?

[Anthony Woodland]

Hello BP,

Can a real estate listing be wholesaled? From my understanding of asking people, they say yes. My follow up question is if there is a house currently listed with an agent, im assuming more than likely the house needs little to no repairs, then the seller would likely want as close to the After Repair Value as possible? End buyers, from my understanding, only buy at 65% of ARV minus repairs, why would the seller take 65% of ARV if their house can be sold for alot more?

Or, as a wholesaler, we don't contact sellers who have their houses listed with agents?

I appreciate the feedback in advance.
