Buy with an edge

Opendoor makes buying a home easier, gives you an edge over other buyers and makes selling a home simpler too.

Use the Opendoor app or go online to find homes, book tours, and even start an offer. Our experts are here to help 7 days a week. When you’re ready to buy, we’ll connect you to a local Opendoor Agent to help you perfect your offer and back it with our cash. That means if you run into a problem with your financing, we can buy the home and hold it for you for up to 60 days for no extra fee, so you don’t lose it.

Also selling? We make that easy, too. Sell your old house to us and get paid in a matter of days, or get help listing it. And because we can buy and hold your next home, you don’t have to worry about paying 2 mortgages or moving multiple times.

To start an offer, go to the home’s detail page in the Opendoor app or on the web. This is the same place you’ll find info about the home, like it’s features, book a tour, and more.

Enter your offer and down payment amount — or get help if you’re not sure. And let us know if you have a lender in mind or how you plan to buy. Your Opendoor Agent will review and help you perfect it before sending it to the seller.

Sellers love certainty. Offers that rely solely on financing are risky for sellers because there's always a chance they could fall through. And your offer is less attractive to sellers if it depends on other things — like getting that mortgage or selling your current house (also called contingencies).

With an Opendoor offer, you can remove the contingencies sellers dislike. And we back your financed offer with our cash, which means that if you run into a problem with your financing, we'll buy it for you — making it as strong as cash.

When you start an offer with Opendoor, you'll get paired with a local, top-rated Opendoor agent. They're laser-focused on handling your offer, negotiating on your behalf, and more. And if you're not happy with your agent, let us know and we'll help you find a new one right away.

Sellers generally pay agent fees. And there are no added fees when you use Opendoor to back your offer to buy your next home.

If you want us to hold the home for up to 60 days more, there's a daily fee of 0.02% of the purchase price. For example, that's $100 a day on a $500,000 home.

Time is money. Part of the commission you pay a traditional agent is for their time finding you homes and going on tours.

With Opendoor, you find homes and tour them on your schedule. And when you're ready to make an offer on a home, you'll connect with an Opendoor Agent. When you combine that with our simpler, more streamlined digital process, it saves time — like a lot of time. So we pass the money savings on to you. The buyer refund is subject to a minimum commission of $3,000 and lender approval. More details.
