Dallas-Fort Worth & Greater Texas

Off-market properties. Cash buyers. Assignment fees.

We find distressed homes before they hit the MLS, put them under contract, and match them with verified cash buyers — collecting assignment fees ranging from $5,000 to $25,000 per deal. No license required. No property ownership. Just capital-light deal-making.

Built for operators who want real income without the overhead of owning inventory.

From first call to collected fee in 4 steps

01

Find the motivated seller

Direct mail, cold calls, driving for dollars, and pre-foreclosure lists. We target distressed homeowners who need to sell fast — before the MLS, before the agent commissions.

02

Put the property under contract

Negotiate a purchase agreement at a discount. The contract is the product. You control the deal without controlling the property.

03

Match with a cash buyer

Our buyer network — fix-and-flip investors, buy-and-hold landlords, out-of-state cash buyers — is already qualified and ready to close. No financing delays.

04

Assign the contract and collect

Transfer your contractual rights to the buyer. They close. You collect the assignment fee. No down payment needed, no property ownership required.

The MLS is for retail buyers. We go where they don't.

Off-market properties — pre-foreclosures, distressed sales, probate situations, tax defaults — never appear on Zillow or Redfin. They trade quietly, often below market value, to operators who know how to find them.

That's where the margin lives. A motivated seller in Garland doesn't need a retail buyer — they need someone who can close fast and take the property as-is. That's us.

Pre-foreclosure
Owner behind on payments. Needs to sell before auction.
Probate & inheritance
Estate needs liquidation. Price, not condition, drives the sale.
Tax-default / HUD
County seizure or lender-owned. Priced to move, as-is.
Absentee owners
Out-of-state or inherited. Motivated by cost, not price.
"
The homes that sit on the MLS for 80 days are the ones with motivated sellers hiding underneath. Find those sellers before the agent does.

We bring the buyers, then we find the deals

Most wholesalers build the deal list first. We build the buyer list first — because a property without a buyer is just an inventory problem.

Fix-and-flip investors

Want properties 20-40% below ARV. Ready to close in 14-30 days. Most active in DFW and Houston.

Buy-and-hold landlords

Cash offers, no financing contingency. Looking for SFR and small multi-family in emerging Texas submarkets.

Out-of-state cash buyers

No local presence, no comp bias. They rely on wholesalers to source and vet deals. High assignment fee tolerance.

The market conditions are aligned

01

Inventory is up

Texas housing inventory up 7.4% year-over-year. More sellers, more negotiation room, more distressed deals entering the pipeline.

02

Sellers are talking

Owners who wouldn't negotiate in 2022 are now having active price conversations. The seller psychology has shifted.

03

Cash is king

With mortgage rates at 6.54%, financed buyers are squeezing out. Cash buyers — your end users — have pricing power and no contingency risk.

04

No license required

Texas law lets you assign a purchase contract without a real estate license — as long as you disclose your interest. That's the legal structure. We operate within it.

Texas wholesaling. Today.

The old method works. We just execute it faster.

Wholesaling isn't new. But most Texas operators are still using yellow letters, cold calling from a spreadsheet, and hoping a buyer texts back. The opportunity is in the speed of finding motivated sellers and the quality of the cash buyer network behind you.

DealBridge RE exists to build that network — and turn off-market deals into assignment fees, consistently.
