Wholesaling in 2025: It's All About People, Not Just Real Estate

Unpopular opinion: Wholesaling has less to do with real estate than you might think. If you're in the business, you'll find that 90% of wholesaling is actually about people, with property taking a distant backseat at 10%.

Many in the industry chase deals, but the real origin of a successful deal is trust. Building that trust comes from listening and identifying real pain points. For distressed sellers, the last thing they need is another pitch; what they truly need is relief.

The biggest lie circulating is that numbers close deals. While numbers might open the door, it’s connections that firmly lock it. Looking ahead to 2025, wholesaling is no longer about contracts; it’s about communication. Learning how to genuinely communicate is key—get that right, and the property will follow.

If you know someone who's still got their focus concentrated on spreadsheets, share this insight with them. Teach them the art of speaking 'human,' and watch how it transforms their wholesaling strategy.
