10/17/2025 – Mastering the Novation Advantage

On this Novation Call, members discussed advanced strategies for structuring, pitching, and closing Novation deals with stronger margins and smoother execution. The session emphasized price anchoring, narrative control, and flexibility in negotiations to position Novations as win-win solutions offering higher seller payouts. Key insights included adapting contracts to avoid lender pushback, reinforcing trust through objection handling, and ensuring every deal meets strong profitability benchmarks.

Members learned that starting with a low cash offer effectively anchors price expectations before introducing Novation as a higher-value alternative. Emphasis was placed on maintaining control of the narrative during document signing, using simple language to avoid confusion, and shifting away from Power of Attorney toward option agreements and affidavits to minimize lender concerns. The group reviewed how to handle objections like “What if you don’t find a buyer?” by reinforcing flexibility and partnership with the seller. Consistent profit margins of $30K+ were identified as the benchmark for worthwhile deals, and participants were reminded to practice objection handling, implement Matt Viebrock’s streamlined Novation addendum, and stay current on evolving wholesaling laws to keep deals compliant and profitable.
