Wholesaling law in Ohio
- Rule
- Seller disclosure law (2026)
- Citation
- Ohio Rev. Code § 5301.95 (Senate Bill 155, signed December 2025)
- Effective
- March 2, 2026
Ohio’s first wholesaling statute applies when someone contracts to buy a one-to-four-unit residential property intending to assign or novate the contract. Before the contract is signed, the wholesaler must hand the seller a separate disclosure in bold 12-point type, signed and dated by both parties, explaining the wholesaler’s role, that they may profit, and that the property may be sold below market value. Without it, the seller can cancel at any time before closing and get earnest money back within 30 days. Violations are enforceable under the Consumer Sales Practices Act.
What it means for a double close
The statute is written around the intent to assign or novate. A double close, where you take title and resell as the owner, is a different structure and is not what the disclosure targets. If your contract still allows assignment, the safe practice is to give the disclosure anyway.
How closings work in Ohio
Title or escrow company closings
Closings here are typically handled by a title or escrow company. We wire directly to the title company’s escrow account, and both legs of the double close must close at that same company.
Ohio is a title-company state and double closes are routine at most title agencies in Columbus, Cleveland and Cincinnati. Confirm the agency will close both legs the same day before you lock your B-to-C date.
