Texas wholesaling, explained carefully
Wholesale Real Estate TX is an independent educational site that explains how real estate wholesaling works under Texas rules, from the purchase contract and disclosures to closing at a title company. It is general information, not legal advice.

We email when new Texas wholesaling and multi-family guides go live. We do not sell deals or properties.
A wholesaler who has signed a purchase contract holds an equitable interest in the property, not ownership. Texas law (Texas Occupations Code §1101.0045) allows a person without a real estate licence to market that contract, but requires them to disclose in writing to potential buyers that they are offering only their interest in a contract (or option), not the property itself.
The Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC) regulates brokerage. Advertising a property you do not have under contract, or negotiating on behalf of others for a fee, can be treated as unlicensed brokerage. The details matter, so have your contracts and marketing reviewed by a Texas real estate attorney.
Tell the seller in writing that you are an investor, not their agent, and that you may assign the contract.
Show how you reached your offer. Sellers who understand the numbers are less likely to feel misled later.
Tying up a property for weeks with no real intent to close harms sellers and invites disputes.
Neutral escrow and title insurance protect every party to the transaction.
