Wholesale & Assignment Closings
The Wholesale Real Estate Closing Compay That Louisiana Investors Trust
Investor Wholesale Deal Closings
Wholesale real estate investing is all about speed and precision. In Louisiana, Gulf South Title offers streamlined support for assignments and back-to-back closings that let investors move quickly and profitably. We understand the mechanics and paperwork behind successful flips and
double closing New Orleans deals, and we’re proud to be one of the few truly
wholesaler friendly title company options in the region.
Assignment of Contract Closings
In a typical assignment deal, a wholesaler gets a purchase agreement signed with a seller and then assigns that contract to an end buyer. Gulf South Title prepares or reviews the Assignment of Contract, ensures assignment fees are accounted for, and coordinates all three parties to close smoothly. We understand that in some deals, discretion matters. When needed, we’ll suggest a double close so the buyer and seller never meet, and fees remain private.
Why Choose an Investor-Friendly Title Company
Speed & Efficiency
Wholesalers often operate under tight timelines, especially with distressed property sellers. Gulf South Title prioritizes speed, offering rapid title searches and flexible scheduling to help you close in as little as 24 hours once title is clear.
Flexible Assignment Fee Handling
You’ll get your fee at closing, whether you want it listed transparently or handled through a private disbursement. Either way, we handle the paperwork and disbursement so you don’t have to chase your money.
Experienced with Distressed Properties
Many wholesale properties come with baggage: tax liens, title issues, or unresolved successions. Our team works with local parishes and attorneys to resolve liens and probate problems fast—giving you a real shot at closing difficult deals.
Double Closings (Back-to-Back)
We handle back-to-back transactions in which a wholesaler purchases and immediately resells a property. Our team manages both closings—often on the same day—and ensures all documents, payments, and legal requirements are aligned. Whether you’re using transactional funding or structuring the deal to use the end buyer’s funds for the first leg, we’ll get you to the finish line.
No Deal Too Small
Whether your assignment fee is $5,000 or $50,000, we give it our full attention. We’re here to make your business more efficient and scalable by getting deals across the finish line without drama.

Frequently Asked Questions
New to wholesaling?
We’re happy to walk you through the process. Our team can help you spot non-assignable contract clauses, review paperwork, and understand what to expect so your first few deals go smoothly.
Will the seller know I’m making a profit?
If you're assigning the contract, the seller typically sees only the amount they’re being paid—not the wholesaler’s fee. If privacy is a concern, we’ll recommend a double closing to separate both legs of the transaction.
Do I need to be licensed to wholesale in Louisiana?
Not necessarily. If you’re only assigning contracts (not acting as a broker), no license is needed. Still, we suggest staying current on Louisiana law and are happy to refer attorneys for more guidance.
What if a title issue shows up?
We’ll find it early—and fix it if possible. We’ve resolved unpaid taxes, judgment liens, and missing heirs before. And if we can’t fix it, we’ll explain why and offer alternatives.
Will I pay two sets of closing costs on a double close?
Yes, but the increased privacy is often worth it. We offer simultaneous issue discounts where possible and will break down your numbers clearly before closing.
