Wholesale Assignment Contract Template

A starting-point assignment of contract for transferring your purchase rights to an end buyer. Three-party agreement between the wholesaler (assignor), end buyer (assignee), and reference to the original seller in the underlying contract.

What you get
  • Three-party assignment agreement with signature blocks
  • Reference to the underlying purchase contract being assigned
  • Explicit assignment fee disclosure with payment timing
  • Default and remedies clause
  • State-disclosure placeholder (varies — Illinois, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, others have specific requirements)
How to use it
  1. Use AFTER you have the property under contract with the original seller. The underlying purchase agreement must contain "buyer or assigns" or explicit assignment language.
  2. Fill in the property address, original contract date, original buyer (you), original seller, and end buyer details.
  3. Assignment fee is the wholesaler's compensation, paid at closing from the title company.
  4. All three parties sign. Title company keeps a copy.
  5. ALWAYS have a state-specific real-estate attorney review before first use. State disclosure laws are evolving rapidly.

Watch out
  • This is a STARTING POINT, not a finished document. Real-estate law varies by state — always have a licensed attorney in your state adapt this before first use.
  • Several states (Illinois, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, and others) have passed specific wholesale-disclosure laws requiring notarized written notice to the seller. This template does not include all state-specific requirements.
  • The "buyer or assigns" language must already be in the underlying purchase agreement, or the assignment may not be enforceable.
  • Earnest money handling varies by state — some require the original earnest to remain in escrow through close, some allow reimbursement at assignment.
