Let’s keep it real — wholesaling in North Carolina is changing.

But it is not dead.
It is not illegal.
And it is absolutely still profitable for wholesalers who know how to operate correctly.

I work with wholesalers all the time — and yes, I am wholesaler-friendly.

BUT let me be crystal clear:

👉 I only work with wholesalers who are compliant, ethical, transparent, and have their processes lined up.
👉 If you run your business professionally, I am one of the best allies you can have in NC real estate.

I understand contracts.
I understand off-market deals.
I understand assignments, novations, double closings, and investor financing.
And I’m connected to private lenders and attorneys who support investor-focused transactions every single day.

Let’s break down what YOU need to know right now to protect your business and scale it the right way.

1. Wholesaling Is Still Legal in NC — If You Do It Correctly

North Carolina’s existing laws allow contract assignments and double closings as long as you are a bona fide buyer with equitable interest.

That means:
✔️ You have a signed contract in your name or LLC
✔️ You intend to close OR assign that interest
✔️ You are NOT acting as an unlicensed real estate agent

Where wholesalers get in trouble is when they:

• Market a property they don’t own

• Negotiate between seller and end buyer

• Collect fees for brokerage activities

• Misrepresent ownership

• Act as the middleman in ways that require a license

I’m not here to judge — I’m here to make sure you stay out of trouble and keep your deals flowing.

2. How Wholesaling Is Still Happening Successfully in NC

Wholesalers who are winning in 2025 are doing this:

✔️ Using Attorney-Drafted Contracts

Not copy/paste forms. Real contracts. Legal contracts.

✔️ Using Double Closings When Needed

Private money → close A→B → close B→C.
No assignment.
Clean, legal, and protected.

I have attorney contacts who handle investor-friendly double closings every day.

✔️ Assigning Contracts the Right Way

One assignment.
Paper trail clean.
Everyone informed.

✔️ Not Marketing Properties They Don’t Own

You can market your contract — not the seller’s property.
There is a difference, and NC watches this.

✔️ Working With Licensed Professionals

This includes:

• Attorneys

• Private money lenders

• Investor-savvy REALTORS® (like me)

The wholesalers who are structured correctly are the wholesalers who scale.

3. Novations in NC: What You Need to Know

Novations are still legal in NC, but they must be done correctly.

A novation is a brand-new contract that replaces the original one.
Everyone signs:

• You

• The seller

• The end buyer

This structure is used when wholesalers want to:

• Market to retail buyers

• Increase price

• Avoid assignment issues

• Work with FHA/VA/USDA buyers who can’t buy assigned contracts

But here’s the truth:

👉 Novations must be attorney-drafted.
👉 Lenders must approve the structure.
👉 You must be transparent about your role and compensation.

Done right, novations are a powerful tool for wholesalers.
Done wrong, they become a legal landmine.

I can connect you with attorneys who draft these correctly.

4. How I Work With Wholesalers (and Why You Want Me on Your Team)

Let me be direct:

There are very few REALTORS® in NC who actually understand wholesaling and don’t treat you like a criminal.

I do.

I work with wholesalers when:

✔️ You are transparent

Show me your contract.
Show me your position.
Show me your intent.
That’s all I need.

✔️ You have an attorney

Not optional.
Non-negotiable.
This protects YOU — not just me.

✔️ You disclose your compensation

I don’t care what you make.
I care that it’s legal and documented.

✔️ You’re not acting like an unlicensed agent

I won’t let you risk my license — and I won’t let YOU risk NC penalties, either.

✔️ You’re building a real brand

Professional wholesalers are building empires right now.
Sloppy wholesalers are getting complaints filed with NCREC.

We both know which one you want to be.
