In this episode of Properties to Profit, I dive into a real-life case study of a property deal that took much longer than expected to close. I’ll walk you through the twists and turns of a challenging transaction in St. Clairsville, Ohio, where patience and understanding played a key role. The seller needed time to emotionally and practically prepare to sell their family home of over 50 years, which came with some tough decisions, including auctioning off their personal items.

Throughout this episode, I discuss the importance of doing what’s best for the seller, how a dedicated team helped keep the deal alive for over 400 days, and why having a strong support system is crucial to succeeding in real estate wholesaling. This story highlights that wholesaling isn’t always about fast deals but about building trust, offering flexibility, and staying ready when the seller is ready to move forward.
