Getting a property under contract is supposed to be the hard part.
But in the DFW Metroplex, a surprising number of deals fall apart after the contract is signed — not because the property is bad, but because the exit doesn’t materialize the way the buyer expected.
If you’re sitting on a contract you can’t close, assign, or exit cleanly, this article walks through realistic options, what not to do, and how stalled contracts actually get resolved in North Texas.
This isn’t theory. It’s about execution when the clock is running.
OUR LATEST WIN FOR A CLIENT WHO WAS RUNNING OUT OF TIME:
A local wholesaler brought us a deal, and the seller was in a rough financial situation… needed it gone FAST so they could take care of two other properties. (Been there?)
Here’s the crazy part…
✅ We were the 4th wholesaler to touch it (yeah… FOURTH)
✅ We called our biggest buyer in the area immediately
✅ He plugged me in with a local area buyer
✅ After the walk-through, the buyer wanted it lower than we wanted
So what did we do?
We adjusted. We worked it. We made it happen.
Not a home run assignment… but we still:
🔥 helped a seller who needed real help
🔥 made a little on the spread
🔥 proved that consistent wins stack up
🔥 and got this thing DISPO’D IN 48 HOURS ⏱️💰
That’s how you build a real business — one win at a time.

Who This Happens To (More Often Than You Think)
Being stuck with a contract isn’t limited to one group.
It happens to:
- Wholesalers who misread buyer demand
- Investors who expected funding that didn’t come through
- Buyers who underestimated repairs or holding costs
- Estate or partnership buyers facing delays
- Anyone who tied up a property and can’t get it to the finish line
Different reasons — same problem:
a binding agreement with no clean exit.
Why Contracts Stall in the DFW Market
The DFW Metroplex is large, fast, and competitive — but it’s not forgiving.
Most stalled contracts come down to a few realities.
1. The Numbers No Longer Clear
Renovation costs increased.
Exit prices softened.
Financing assumptions changed.
What looked workable on paper now sits right on the margin — or worse.
2. Buyer Access Was Overestimated
Many people assume:
“If I can’t move this deal, nobody can.”
That’s rarely true.
It usually means your buyer pool wasn’t deep enough — not that the deal is dead.
3. Time Became the Enemy
Assignment windows close.
Earnest money gets exposed.
Sellers lose patience.
Once timing tightens, options narrow quickly.
The Worst Thing to Do When You’re Stuck
The most common mistake is waiting too long.
People stall because they’re hoping:
- One more buyer shows up
- The seller gives more time
- Something changes
Hope is not a strategy when a contract is binding.
Every day that passes without traction reduces leverage and increases risk.
What Actually Works When a Contract Won’t Move
Stalled contracts don’t get saved with more marketing noise.
They get saved with structure and execution.
Here’s what makes the difference.
1. Honest Re-Evaluation
Not defensive. Not optimistic. Honest.
That means reassessing:
- True renovation costs
- Realistic resale or rental outcomes
- Timeline risk
Sometimes the fix is simply correcting assumptions before the deal collapses.
2. Alternative Exit Strategies
Not every contract exits the same way.
Some deals move when repositioned as:
- Rental or hold opportunities
- Light-rehab projects
- Different buyer profiles entirely
Flexibility matters — but it has to be informed.
3. Access to Buyers You Don’t Have
This is the real bottleneck in most stuck contracts.
If your buyers didn’t move, that doesn’t mean no buyer will.
It means your buyers didn’t.
What DFW Dispo Is Designed to Do
DFW Dispo exists for one reason:
To help resolve time-sensitive contracts that are otherwise at risk of falling apart.
It’s built for people who:
- Are under contract
- Can’t close or assign
- Need a professional path forward — fast
DFW Dispo is not:
- A daisy-chain
- A blast-to-Facebook operation
- A negotiation marketplace
It is a resolution service.
The Split
DFW Dispo operates on a simple, transparent structure:
- You keep 70%
- Lonestar Partners keeps 30%
- The split is fixed and non-negotiable
This structure exists for one reason:
to solve problems where the alternative is often losing the deal entirely.
There is no haggling, no back-and-forth, and no confusion.
When DFW Dispo Makes Sense
DFW Dispo is appropriate when:
- You’re under contract and stuck
- Timing is working against you
- Earnest money is exposed
- You want options, not panic
It’s not designed for:
- Fully marketed deals with strong buyer traction
- Price maximization
- Long negotiation timelines
It’s about completion, not perfection.
A Smaller Win Beats a Dead Deal
Every experienced investor or buyer has one story:
the deal that almost worked — and then didn’t.
The difference between amateurs and professionals isn’t avoiding problems.
It’s knowing how to resolve them before they become losses.
