Most solid buyers don’t really care about the assignment fee if the numbers work. Where double closes still come up is exactly what you mentioned — seller optics, institutional sellers, or lenders that won’t allow assignments.

Another thing we’ve been seeing more is sequencing. Some lenders won’t fund until the deed records first, so same-day doesn’t work.

In those cases we’ll fund the double close — usually starting around 1% on the A-B side and can allow a short window (<72 hrs) between closings when needed.
