Opendoor

I had the house assessed (people come out and review the home) from Knock, Selling agent, Opendoor, Offerpad, and Zillow. Opendoor had the same offer the selling agent had with repairs already calculated in. Knock was lower than the selling agent with additional repairs to be handled, and Offerpad was nearly $35k less.

I'm not sure if the others were fake reviews or just maybe the area; however, Opendoor's questionnaire before the assessors come out will indicate what will be included in the price that they will offer. House needs to be repainted (as indicated in the questionnaire), and the offer came in with that calculation.

The process is easy and nearly carefree. Traditional agent utilized comps and upgrades in our area and came up with the exact same price. The only difference, I still had to paint the house and do repairs, which ends up getting a lower value if we went traditional.

I can only advise that if you are not honest about your home in the first place, don't expect a lottery type winning. Everyone wants more money. Go through all different ways to get your house assessed and if one happens to give you your lottery winning value, by all means, try and sell it that way and hopefully you will not need to spend a double mortgage at all during the selling process.

We have two little ones and staging the house is nearly impossible. The direct selling process is a breeze.

I couldn’t have been more pleased with selling to Opendoor! The process was as easy as they promote it to be. So easy, in fact, that I expected at some point that something would go haywire! But it never did! Their offer was competitive and I walked away, without the hassle of any showings, with proceeds close to, if not more, than what three different realtors had estimated! For me, the Opendoor experience was wonderful.

When I first heard about Opendoor, I was super skeptical - could we really sell for a fair price without the hassle of showing? The answer was, and is, YES! Opendoor gave us a very fair price for our home (Tampa area) and scheduled an inspection very quickly. They were not too picky (our house was fairly new so there were few necessary repairs) and ended up asking for very little off the initial offer for inspection repairs. Here is a necessary notation - Opendoor has to anticipate future buyer's hesitations when negotiating the inspection repair cost. A lot of reviews complain that Opendoor performs the inspection and requests money off of the offer price to repair certain things, yet those repairs are never performed. This is the company being smart and assuming that future buyers will request money off their sale price during THEIR (the future buyers while Opendoor sells) inspection.

While the representatives were present performing our inspection on our house in Tampa, they mentioned that there were homes for sale via Opendoor in the Charlotte area (where we were moving). We did some research and ended up falling in love with a home being sold by them as well. They had repainted the entire home and also installed brand new, upgraded carpet throughout the upstairs and basement. We were able to coordinate our move-out/move-in dates, and everything could not have gone smoother! This is the future of real estate.

Initially, I got worried about how to deal with, but after I started the process with them, it was so easy and smooth transaction buying through them. They have made the process so smooth and hassle-free. They have a team of all expertise needed...takes care of necessary repairs needed, closing team, and the attorney they use.

I prevailed in a bidding competition...an auspicious start for a process that continued positively and ended about a month later with me the owner of a perky little duplex in a sought after location. No need to attend a closing, as everything happened electronically.

It was a true pleasure selling my home through Opendoor. Everything from start to finish was easy and simple. Every question was answered, and every phone call was return in a timely manner.

I could not have asked for better service. I will share my Opendoor experiences with my family and friends.

I currently reside in South Carolina and I have had a rental property in Minnesota for about 10 years. It was originally my first home, and after meeting my husband I moved south to be with him. At the time, I couldn't bear to sell the townhome and decided to keep as a rental.

While I've been blessed with great renters over the years, rental properties are work (and worry!). Repair expenses, finding renters, dealing with complaints, etc. always created additional anxiety for me. It was also difficult to manage living 1000 miles away. With the market plunge in 2008...it took a while for selling to make sense so I wouldn't lose money.

Once the market picked up and selling made sense to consider, the logistics were intimidating. Finding a realtor you could trust, finding someone on the ground who could help with local details, making the updates/repairs necessary to put on the market...all so daunting I simply kept putting it off.

...until Opendoor. I was familiar with a similar service I discovered during my own home search in South Carolina...but that one was not available in MN. At the same time I was searching, I received a letter from Opendoor and my problem was solved.

From DAY ONE...every person I interacted with was incredible! Tonya Sims, Bob McCoin, and the folks at the title company - Jordyn Williams and Sheila Kemlein - provided excellent service. I said numerous time during the process "this is way too easy" and it was! Just way too easy. There truly was little to do on my part as they made sure all the t's were crossed and i's were dotted.

The only hitch I was concerned about was the inspection. Not being present I was anticipating repair requirements that I wouldn't be able to personally verify and might be so high I couldn't do it. But again, no worries. The repair requirements were totally in line with the expectation Bob set in advance and I was pleased. So my anticipated "hitch" never happened.

I closed last week. All in the process was less than 6 weeks total. One less thing (a big thing) for me to worry about. Plus another thing paid off!

I could not be more pleased with my experience and would use them again in a heartbeat! Thank you OpenDoor! You've made someone in South Carolina VERY happy!

I have bought and sold numerous homes since 1975. Without a doubt, this was the smoothest home sale I have ever done.

I was in a situation where my siblings and I needed to sell my mother’s home. Due to the fact that no one lived in the house and I lived 200 miles away, I had concerns about trying to line up contractors to patch/paint the home, replace the flooring, fix the landscaping and do other needed repairs to get the house in a marketable condition. I did research on the value of homes in the area to get an estimate of the fair market value on the home, along with estimates to get the repair work completed. I contacted Opendoor.com to request a quote for my mom’s home. Opendoor.com came back within a few days with an offer that was a fair market offer, especially considering the needed repairs to the house. As backup to their offer, they provided three comparables from recently sold homes in the neighborhood. We agreed to the offer, pending the home inspection and any subsequent needed repairs. I selected the closing date. We spent a month clearing the house of all personal items, broom cleaned it and turned it over to Opendoor.com. Closing was easy and the money was wired to my mom’s account that same day. We never had to deal with any contractors nor did we have to have potential buyers traipsing through the house.

Throughout the process Opendoor.com communicated with me frequently, keeping me appraised of the process and the next steps. There were no surprises. I can’t say enough about how stress-free it was and how professional Opendoor.com was. I highly recommend them.

Opendoor was a true blessing. They came to our home and did a full inspection on the inside and out. I thought they were going to ask for a lot of repairs and updates. I was wrong, they actually asked for less than what normal homebuyers would normally ask for. They have us a fair market value for our home. They were communicative and forthcoming through the whole process and helpful throughout the whole process. Closing was a breeze, we received all funds in the same business day.

I would highly recommend anyone to Opendoor, especially if you need to sell your house quickly.

I want to say that Opendoor and the entire team I dealt with are top notch professionals. This was by far the easiest home sales experience I have ever encountered. I was actually skeptical at first, thinking I was going to be offered and extremely low price for my home. I was wrong. I followed their instructions, went online and completed the questionnaire about my home. I was truthful about my house and what it needed and what I have done to it. The questionnaire took me about 10 minutes to complete. I did send over some pictures but was not required to do so. The next day I had an offer online. I was surprised, because 2 years ago I had my home on the market and after 1 month I took it off. I just could not stand people coming in and out, telling me my yard was too small, the driveway too steep, etc., etc. Each time I had to leave my house while people went through it. In the meantime, I had to try and find a place to move to.

Along comes Opendoor and I get a good offer in 1 day, with no showings. I agreed to the offer, and the Opendoor team set up the inspection. Four people came to my home. It took about 45 minutes. One was a local roofer, and one was a local HVAC technician. The other two took measurements of the rooms, and took pictures of the house. They were extremely polite and were in and out quickly. They did find a few items that needed attention and notified me of it. At that time I had the choice to either do the repairs myself or have them taken out of the proceeds. The repair amounts were very fair. I then had the option to pick my own closing date. They gave me up to 90 days. I chose 30. And picked my date. I next heard from the attorney the have on retainer. He told me what I needed to bring to the closing. On the morning of the closing, I met with the Opendoor inspector who did a final walk through with me to make sure the home was empty, and in the same condition it was when they inspected. After that, my wife and I drove to the attorney's office, and closed the deal. My remaining funds were in my bank account that evening.

Easy, straight forward, and honest. I have already recommended them to many friends and will continue to do so. Great experience!

This was the smoothest and easiest home sale I have ever done! Our home was a rental and tenants had moved out. We decided to get an offer from Opendoor and we're so happy we did. Their offer was right there with the comps for the neighborhood. We chose our closing date and closed on time. No issues, no problems what so ever. We paid a 6% fee at closing. No biggie, same as a realtor charges. No-stress sell. We will use them again when we sell our Texas home. Thank you Opendoor.
