Carly Stagge left corporate finance at JP Morgan and did $1 million in assignment fees her first full year in Denver. She explains why her company double closes every deal now, and how transactional funding moved their average fee from $17,500 to $25,500 in a single month. She also covers what a double close does that an assignment cannot, including the ability to renegotiate price with the seller, and why assignment fee laws in states like Pennsylvania and Ohio are pushing wholesalers toward it.
