My daughter and her husband looked at a house listed by open door. We loved that we could go see it as often as we wanted as they were considering it. Nobody looking over your shoulder so you’re free to inspect inside the cabinets, toilets...all the places that are usually uncomfortable. They were listing their relatively new home as well at the same time and decided to check with open door on an offer and open door came in much higher than they were planning on listing their house through a real estate company. Within days, they accepted open doors offer, open door did the inspection, no repairs needed and their house was sold! 3 days, done. They put an offer in on the open door house, their inspector found a few minor issues, open door made the repairs the next day, sold! Open door is the way to go. Both houses done in under a week. Closing and Ready to move in within 15 days. Awesome

I used Opendoor to look at one house, and while it was super convenient at the time to view the home without having to organize times with a realtor! I’ve been trying to delete my account for over two months now that I no longer need to use the Opendoor services. When I reach out to the support “staff,” I received nothing but privacy policy hyperlinks … links that are not helpful. No where does it talk about the steps to take to permanently delete an account, it also limits who can submit a policy request. There are a handful of US states excluded from the privacy policy protection and I reside in one of those excluded states, so nothing I’m receiving back from support “staff” is helpful and when I inquire about specifics for those excluded regions, nothing but the same hyperlink. For over two months, I’ve been emailing Opendoor and with no resolution or true assistance. Since creating my Opendoor account I have received an increase in spam calls and emails, credit cards opening under my name, and password reset emails from my social medias. Do not create an Opendoor account. I would not recommend this company to anyone. I will never use Opendoor again.

At first, I really enjoyed being able to see a house that was listed without bothering my agent to drive all over Atlanta to let me in. This concept alone is what make’s Opendoor “open house” concept awesome. In this market, agents are far too busy and gas cost way too much to bring them along with you on every single home search. Mind you, my husband and I have put offers in on 6 homes in the last year and all lost to cash offers and much higher offers even though we offered $20k - $50k more. Knowing an agent only gets paid when we close, we are careful not to waste her time out of respect. The more homes we saw via Opendoor vs the other homes, the quicker we noticed that most of the Opendoor homes were in need of a lot of work. Especially at the asking price. Some of these hime were so poorly made “market ready” that you could see where fresh carpet that wasn’t tacked down was laid over wet floors that dogs peed on. The smell was rancid. Another house had all the windows painted shut and the foundation was completely crumbing. Another house the toilet was running and when I inspected a bit closer found in the other side of the bathroom in the garage, the walls were wet with mold. Anyone who knows nothing about what to look for will find themselves buying a mess. At the end of the day, Opendoor would be better off just being a home touring company for a small fee.
