What 33 Deals Taught Me About Wholesaling 🔥

I have been in real estate wholesaling for over 7 years. This year, I closed my 33rd personal deal.

Honestly, it’s not the number of deals that matters most. It’s what I’ve learned along the way and the things I wish someone had told me when I started.

One of the biggest lessons? Follow-up is everything.

Most deals don’t fail because of the price or the property. They fail because people stop following up. Being consistent and strategic is what separates closers from dreamers.

Another lesson is relationships over transactions.

Every conversation with a seller or buyer is an opportunity to build trust. That same seller could be your referral tomorrow.

And I’ve learned that systems are the backbone of success.

When I started, I relied on luck and hustle. Now, I have processes for lead management, communication, and negotiation that make deals close predictably.

I’ve also spent years helping other wholesalers turn struggling deals into wins. Seeing someone finally close their first deal or their 10th is just as rewarding as closing my own.

If you’re a wholesaler struggling to close deals or just trying to find a system that actually works, the lessons I’ve learned in over 7 yearsand the strategies I’ve used to close 33 deals this year can help.
