I found a vacant house, contacted the owner, she was elderly and just moved into an apartment with her son. I asked if she was interested in selling her home. She said she was. I asked if she wanted me to spark to anyone about the property. She told I should call her son, I called him and told him I wanted to purchase he said great. They had on the market last year and couldn't sell it. We agreed on a price and I sent the contract. They signed. I found a buyer within a week. And had a close date. When I called to tell the owner of the close date, she told me she didn't know who I was?!! So I called the son and told him, He told me I need to talk to his uncle. Okay... I talk to the uncle and he tells me nobody signed any contract. The house isn't for sale. And he hangs up. Now I cant get a hold of the mother or the

son. The title was clear! What now

I got a contract for a house signed. Sent info to title company, it's clear. Found a buyer, he signed my assignment of contract. When I call the seller to give close date, I'm told I have to talk to someone else, Her brother. Once I talked to him, he told me the house isn't for sale to you. He just put it for sale with someone else. My contracts are legal. The are elderly. How do I approach this. Or just let it ago?

@Lisbet Newton thank you very much!! Real estae agents seem to be very doom and gloom. I really appreciate you view!!

@Grant Rothenburger he doesn't want to do the legwork. So I offered to help. No big deal

Friend of mine is a retired NFL player, lifelong friend, asked me if I knew of any properties in my area, i've been reading up on wholesaling for the past few months. Haven't done a deal yet, I was simply asking a question. so no need to read state brokering laws yet, and ive found a few people that have made a niche of working with MLS properties, the thing is they don't give real instruction of doing so. I understand the fundamental rules of wholesaling.

I have an investor that wants apartment complexes 20+ units. I found some on MLS, how do I talk to the realtor about an investor I have without loosing the assignment? If the property is on mls, the investor can just look at the property themselves
