Service fee depends if it's performing or not.

There may be ethical reasons to not assign a contract (my personal opinion is that (1) if the contract provides seller financing or other terms that rely on the performance of the buyer after the closing, it is unethical to switch buyers without the seller's permission or (2) if you haven't properly vetted the assignee or used language to prevent them from also assigning to someone who can't perform and you are not able to close if they fail to, that is not fair to the seller) but that is a personal opinion not a legal distinction.I'd be interested in taking assignment of your contract if it is a truly profitable deal.
