Ok, so I'm going to give you all the details of my interaction. First off, I will say everyone I talked to was extremely professional and courteous. The home I'm selling is at 15514 e Jojoba Lane Fountain Hills, AZ 85268. If you Zillow it, it'll show a value of $503,229. Opendoor made me an offer of $455,000. That was extremely low I thought, but hey, after 6% realtor fee, it's not too far off the mark. I say ok, then read the fine print at the bottom, saying I'd walk away with $402,000. I asked why and they said, "oh, it's our 10.5% admin fee!" So not only do they make an almost insulting low offer on the house, they take almost double the average realtor fee out of it!

Then looking at online reviews, they send a team out to your property and zap you for everything they deem wrong. I read one review that said that his A/C units were 20 years old, and that they only last 25 on average, so they nicked him $2k for that! So I decided to go the realtor route, sold my house in 2 hours, and am walking away with $446,500. That's $46K MORE, AND it sold in TWO HOURS.

One of their pros on the website is not having to show your house to people - for $46k I'll show the house morning, noon and night! Not that you'd have to in this market. I honestly believe I'll have the money in the pocket going this route FASTER than Opendoor. The takeaway is this - unless you're in a HORRIBLE market, get a realtor.
