WOW

By Tanisha M., Rock Hill, SC, Verified Reviewer

I received a referral from a coworker but was still skeptical...no way was it as easy as she said it would be. Well, she was CORRECT! This process was so streamlined and not stressful at all. I didn’t have to go through the drawn-out tasks of showings, contracts, etc. etc. The Opendoor staff was very informative and answered all of my questions in a timely manner. I would recommend this process to anyone who wants to sell their home without the stress.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Opendoor is amazing!

By Arlene D., Powder Springs, GA, Verified Reviewer

This is an honest review and I can tell you this experience could not have been any better! We actually got a bit more than if we would have gone with a traditional realtor. And without the hassle and headache of having people coming in and out your house daily. Thanks Opendoor!

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Process made easy

By Mary C., Deland, FL, Verified Reviewer

My husband and I were looking to sell our home without the aggravation of listings and showings. The entire process was made so seamless and easy to go through. The company offered a competitive market value and we were closed in less than a month. I would highly recommend Opendoor as a selling option.

Smooth from start to finish

Extremely dishonest marketing

By Emrie O., Atlanta, GA, Verified Reviewer

Opendoor came back with an offer $62k below fair market value for our home. Within 24 hours of listing our house, we had an above-asking price offer in hand.

They lowball offers, despite saying they're competitive. Not renovated, half the size, half the lot sized homes in our neighborhood sold for more than they offered...even our county tax assessment is $27k more than they offered.

Huge waste of time. I do not suggest using them.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Great experience

By Tom and Chrissy B., Jacksonville, FL, Verified Reviewer

We had an amazing experience with Opendoor. We had found our dream home and wanted to put our current home on the market. It was in great condition needing only a few repairs which we already had quotes for.

We were skeptical of an offer by Opendoor but had actually viewed a couple of the homes they had on the market and liked the concept. So we decided to go online and see what they would offer us for our home. We had done our research and knew what we wanted to list it for and what would be the least we would take.

We were pleasantly surprised with the offer - it was very close to our anticipated list price. Next, we decided to move forward. I CLEARLY made sure we could back out at any time and was assured that (at no cost to us) we could back out of the deal if we felt uncomfortable. The next step was the assessment.

We figured this is where the loophole would be. That they would come in and hit us up with tons of repairs. Again, we were pleasantly surprised. We had already gotten repair costs for the things we knew would need replacing or repaired. There were two big repairs that we were worried about. Their pricing for the repairs were below what we had gotten quoted and several of the things that we thought we would have to fix they did not charge us for because they were standard costs in selling a house like painting, cleaning, replacing a door our kids had put a hole in. These are extra expenses we WOULD have had to incur if we were selling it through an agency or by owner

We were amazed with how easy it was to sell our home to Opendoor. They worked with us through the whole process and answered all my crazy questions. We were able to buy our new home and Opendoor worked with us on our closing date so we never had to make two mortgages.

We felt like the fees were a little high but when we figured all the fees associated with a realtor plus the extra repairs, staging and time it would take to sell the house the fees were worth it. Plus the fact that we didn’t have to make two mortgages was also a deciding factor.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Great experience!

By Tim Q., Minneapolis, MN, Verified Reviewer

We have been pleased with every step of this process. A very fair offer followed by a reasonable repair assessment left us extremely satisfied. We also give very high grades to everyone involved with the process. Everyone was very professional and responsive! It was great to sell this house as is and avoid all of the hassles that go with a traditional sale!

Could not have done it without Opendoor

By Aaron S., Tucson, AZ, Verified Reviewer

We work too much and with teenagers and two dogs showing our house, possibly for months, was not going to work for us. The offer was solid and the service was excellent. Without Opendoor I doubt we would be moved by now. I do not know how it could be made easier.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Wonderful experience!

By Christy V., Minnesota, Verified Reviewer

We had a great experience with Opendoor. After receiving a very low-ball offer from another company, we were skeptical, but Opendoor gave us a more than fair market value basis, a fee structure similar to local realtors, and repair estimates that were better than any other bids we received. Start-to-finish, the process was done in around 3 weeks. I would highly recommend their services to anyone looking to sell their house quickly for a fair price.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Great experience!

By Dan B., Newbury Park, CA, Verified Reviewer

The whole process was extremely smooth, easy, and fast. The price I was offered was fair, the people I dealt with at Opendoor were professional, courteous, patient, and very knowledgeable. I still cannot believe it can be this easy to sell a house.

Opendoor

By Jennie K., Texas, Verified Reviewer

So, my husband and I have recently begun relocation cross country to his hometown. When I got a very good job offer it put some urgency into selling our home. We only had it on the market about a month before we decided to go with Opendoor. I knew we would not make a big profit, but since I had good equity, we would be okay with the settlement. I had read all the reviews, done some research and even retained my agent for the process at my expense. The offer was very low, and the fees are very high, the cost of convenience I suppose. At this point, the repairs came out to $4,300. A bit high, as if I am paying for improvements for them to flip it, but again, perfect victim due to urgency.

This is where it gets bad, really bad, I am already losing tens of thousands versus a market sale, I am in my new hometown closing remotely. The mobile notary comes to my Airbnb on Wednesday, we sign, husband signs in Texas. Done. Nope, TWO hours after closing I am informed the math was wrong and it would be $6k less! After closing! People, I cannot stress enough the fact that this was AFTER closing! The first story was Opendoor commission, the second was taxes, nobody really knows. They just want an extra $6k and since I am even more pressured with a pending home purchase, I believe they thought I would have no choice. Wrong, I went through the settlement sheet and every department that let the error slip was forced to rebate their fees, my agent reduced hers and they made up the difference. Did I mention I am in leadership?

The story is not over though, as I sit here on the east coast on Friday afternoon, still no funds. They can’t seem to put a trace on the wire that they documented as executed on Thursday and was not executed until this morning. But, still NO funds. I call the closer and she informs me that that they accidentally sent a live check via FedEx to the property address they now own, in Texas, and the wire transfer tracking number I was provided was for my agent's funds, not mine. Please note the finance company and title company are owned by Opendoor. To conclude, it is 5:15 EST on Friday and I just got funded on a transaction from Wednesday. My closer was genuinely upset and did resolve it, but had it not been for multiple calls to the office, my bank, my mortgage company and agent it could have been weeks.

Only use Opendoor to get rid of a mortgage payment, nothing more. There are people that depend on the equity to buy a new home and with Opendoor you will not be sure even after closing.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Hi Jennie, This is not the Opendoor experience we strive for and thank you for taking the time to share your feedback to help us grow from this situation. I do see that this was resolved internally and was responded to publicly on Reviews. But if there's something further we can help with, please reach out at community@opendoor.com so we can look into the matter.
