How We Work With Wholesalers
Send us the deal, and we’ll review the parcel, pull comps and check title issues we can see from public records. If it fits, we’ll confirm our price quickly and sign an assignment or purchase contract. Earnest money goes to the title company, and we close on your timeline. If it doesn’t fit, we’ll tell you why — so you know what to send next time.
What Makes a Good Land Deal for Us
- Accurate numbers — a realistic spread between your contract price and market value.
- Clean or clearable title — we can handle back taxes, liens and probate, but tell us up front.
- Buildable or usable land — legal access, reasonable flood zone, and no fatal wetland issues, unless it’s priced for them.
- Reasonable timelines — enough time to close through title.
Bird Dogs and Referrals
Not a wholesaler but know a landowner who wants to sell? Send us the lead. If we buy the property, we’re happy to talk about a referral arrangement that complies with Florida law.
Assignments vs. Double Closings
Assignment: You assign your purchase contract to us, and we close directly with the seller. Your assignment fee is paid at closing through the title company. This is the simplest option when the contract allows assignment.
Double closing: You close with the seller and we close with you, usually on the same day. This keeps your price private but involves two sets of closing documents and costs. We’re comfortable with either.
Our Buy Box by Market
- Cape Coral: dry, freshwater and Gulf-access lots in all quadrants.
- Lehigh Acres: quarter-acre and larger lots, especially on paved roads.
- North Port and Port Charlotte: standard platted lots and multi-lot packages.
- Golden Gate Estates: tracts of all sizes, with a preference for north of I-75.
- Rotonda West and Punta Gorda: canal, golf and interior lots.
- Rural acreage: Alva, LaBelle, Immokalee, east Charlotte County — priced for access and wetlands.
What Slows Deals Down
- Inflated comps or asking prices far above market.
- Undisclosed title problems, liens or probate issues.
- Contracts that don’t allow assignment or have very short closing dates.
- Land with no legal access that isn’t priced for it.
Compliance
We expect wholesalers we work with to follow Florida law, including rules on marketing contracts and disclosures to sellers. We don’t give legal advice; if you have questions about how to structure a deal, consult a Florida real estate attorney.
Building a Long-Term Relationship
We’d rather close ten deals with you over a year than squeeze one. Send accurate information, and we’ll give you fast, honest answers, close reliably, and tell you what we want more of.
Deal Submission Checklist
- Parcel number(s) and county — the single most important item.
- Contract price, closing date and inspection period.
- Your asking price or assignment fee.
- Seller situation — probate, back taxes, liens, out-of-state owner.
- Known issues — access, wetlands, flood zone, utilities, HOA or association dues.
- A copy of the contract once we’re moving forward.
How Fast We Respond
Send a complete submission and we’ll typically respond within 24 hours with a yes, a no, or a counteroffer. If we pass, we’ll say why — price, location, access, title or something else — so you can adjust future submissions.
Earnest Money and Closing
Once we agree, we sign the assignment or purchase contract and deposit earnest money with the title company. We work with local title companies experienced in assignments and double closings. You’ll get updates as title work progresses, and your fee is paid at closing.
Why Land Wholesaling in SWFL Is Different
Southwest Florida’s platted lot markets have thousands of similar parcels, so pricing is driven by precise details: canal type in Cape Coral, road paving and utilities in Lehigh Acres, environmental surveys in North Port, tract location in Golden Gate Estates. Deals work when the numbers reflect those details. We’ll give you feedback on each submission so your pricing gets sharper over time.
Bird Dogs
If you find motivated landowners but don’t contract deals yourself, tell us. We’ll let you know what we’re looking for and how we can work together within Florida law.
Wholesaler FAQs
Do you accept assignment contracts?
Yes. We accept assignments and can also double close if you prefer.
How fast will I get an answer?
Usually within 24 hours of receiving the parcel number and your numbers.
Do you pay earnest money?
Yes, earnest money is deposited with the title company once we sign.
What counties do you buy wholesale deals in?
Lee, Collier, Charlotte, Sarasota and nearby Hendry County.
Do you buy wholesale deals with back taxes?
Yes, as long as the numbers account for the taxes owed.
Do you do joint ventures on larger deals?
We are open to discussing joint ventures on larger acreage or multi-lot deals.
Do you require exclusive deals?
No. But we move quickly, so sending deals to us first often means a faster close.
What makes a lot in Lehigh Acres more valuable to you?
Paved roads, nearby construction, utilities and clean title all increase what we can pay.
Do you buy Golden Gate Estates tracts south of I-75?
Sometimes, but at much lower prices due to access and restoration-area limits.
Can I send you deals outside your main markets?
Yes. Send them over and we will tell you quickly whether we can make an offer or know someone who might.
