Assignment of Contract Closings in Florida

One Closing, Three Parties, Zero Doc-Stamp Double-Up

An assignment of contract is the cleanest wholesale exit in Florida. The wholesaler ties up a property under contract, finds an end buyer willing to take that contract, and assigns their position for a fee. The end buyer closes directly with the original seller — only one deed transfers, only one set of Florida documentary stamps is owed, and the wholesaler walks away with the assignment fee at closing.

Atlantic Title Firm has structured AOC closings across all 67 Florida counties for years. We know what documentation a Florida title underwriter expects, what most cash buyers' attorneys will require, and what end-buyer lenders will and will not accept on the closing disclosure.

When to Assign vs. When to Double Close

Both structures get you paid as a wholesaler. The right choice depends on the contract, the parties, and the spread.

Assignment of contract works when the original contract permits assignment, when full disclosure of the fee is acceptable, and when you want to save on closing costs (one set of doc stamps, one recording fee, one title premium).

A simultaneous close is the better tool when the contract bans assignment, when the original seller cannot know the resale price, or when the end-buyer's lender requires the seller of record to actually hold title. We do both — and we will tell you straight which one fits your deal.
