Selling your contract at The Perigon before closing: assignment rights, fees, and the developer’s consent

Some buyers never intend to close. They buy the contract and sell it before completion. At The Perigon, whether that is possible is written in the assignment clause.

This page is a framework. Whether the building suits you is a separate conversation. Contact the desk at Miami Dossier for the current position on any building we cover.

What Assignment Is

Selling the contract, not the home.

An assignment transfers the buyer’s position in the purchase agreement to a new buyer before closing. The new buyer steps into the contract at its price and terms; the original buyer walks away, usually with a profit if the market moved. Until the building closes, there is no deed to sell, only the contract.

The Perigon dossier holds the developer’s published record. Read it against the Kempinski Residences Miami Design District dossier for the nearest comparison.

What The Contract Usually Says

Consent, and the price of it.

Most Miami developer contracts address assignment directly. The common patterns: assignment prohibited entirely until closing; assignment allowed with the developer’s written consent, which cannot be unreasonably withheld; or assignment allowed freely after a certain stage. Almost every version charges an assignment fee, and some give the developer a share of the profit or a right of first refusal.

The Costs

Read them before you count on them.

The assignment fee is typically a fixed amount or a percentage of the price, paid to the developer at the transfer. If the developer holds a profit share, it comes off the top. The new buyer must also qualify under the same terms, and the original buyer’s deposits transfer with the contract. None of this is negotiable after signing; it is all in the clause.

The Desk Question

One sentence to ask.

Show me the assignment clause: is consent required, what is the fee, and does the developer take a share. The desk reads it with you before you sign anything that assumes you can sell.

An exit you cannot use is not an exit. Read the clause.
