@Chris Turner As a buy n hold investor, I really don't care what the Wholesalers fee is. But, eventually I do get to see it at closing. Although, if you want to build relationships, full disclosure is always the way to go. @David Hines I don't think you understand the value a Wholesaler brings to both the seller and the buyer. How do you find your clients? Do you knock on doors? Do you market to property owners who are hard to find? Probably not. IMO, Wholesalers dig out individuals who don't have the time or the drive to reach out and find a real estate agent. And when a Wholesaler finds a willing seller, they pretty much guarantee a very quick sale. Do you guarantee your clients a quick sale? I'm not here to knock Real Estste Agents, but you offer a different service than Wholesalers. RE agents connect sellers who are willing to wait months to get the max sales price to owner occupant buyers who are willing to pay market prices.
My team is commercial and we sell apartment buildings and our business is 80% off market. We direct call and build relationships with Sellers across all California markets. We run the numbers and pitch it to Buyers, typically just because it is off market does not mean sellers don't want market prices but they are willing to be more flex for us as our commission is normally what gets negotiated to help secure the deal. We offer a better more beneficial approach then what you describe as wholesalers, who tie up deals for sellers, add a large fee to the deal and pitch to unknown sources to find buyers they have never worked with before.
