Example of an Assignment Contract in Action Real Estate Wholesaling is a common scenario where assignment contracts are utilized. In wholesaling, an investor (assignor) puts a distressed property under contract and then assigns that contract to an end buyer (assignee).
Ing to Boundy (2012), typically, a written contract will include: Date of agreement. Names of parties to the agreement. Preliminary clauses. Defined terms. Main contract clauses. Schedules/appendices and signature provisions (para. 5).
In other words, an assignment clause allows the buyer of a home to sell the place before they take possession of it. In Ontario, assignments are more common in pre-built homes and condos than on re-sale properties, but they are possible on any type of trade.
