One of my Realtors is telling me that you can't wholesale in CT and is not sure that finders fees are allowed either. Does anyone have any experience in my state with wholesaling.
Thanks,
Doug

Drew's comments are correct and add real value. Most Realtors do not understand the laws in a state. They often go to get their licenses in a matter of a few days without truly understanding all the nuances.
Most Realtors are taught to be retail Realtor rather than investor Realtors. This type of training makes makes them more difficult to work with.
If you would like the chance to work with me or one of my fellow real estate investor coaches and our advanced training programs, give us a call anytime to see if Dean's Real Estate Success Academy and our customized curriculum is a fit for you. Call us at 1-877-219-1474 ext. 125
That is the first time I understood the difference between being a "wholesaler" & being a "realtor". BRAVO DREW! As a new person in this industry I have been asked by so many people I know if being a wholsaler is legal as it sounds like I am doing the same job as realtor, but without a license. I finally have an answer to explain the difference to them & why it is legal.
I now understand: I am representing myself, not the buyer & not the seller, however by adding "or assigns" I am leaving the door open for myself to sell my interest in a contract with the seller, to someone else, if I so choose.
Thank you so much for making it clear & easy to understand & explain to others.

Thanks Drew & Nate, I kinda figured that but wanted the opinions of others here. My realtor is kinda new so I think she still learning just like me. She been very good with supplying me with properties to look at but she had concerns of how wholesaling works.
Drew, your explanation really helps me to understand and convey it to others.
Now to make some offers!
