What is Opendoor?

Officially known as Opendoor Technologies Inc., the company offers a suite of services that allows customers to quickly buy, sell or “trade in” their homes, including:

• Selling a home directly to Opendoor.

• Listing a home with Opendoor.

• Purchasing a home owned by Opendoor.

• Buying any home available for sale (not just on Opendoor).

To streamline the home buying and selling process, Opendoor also provides these services:

• Opendoor Home Loans: Helps customers with financing to buy a home or refinance a mortgage; it boasts no lender fees and a credit of up to $1,000 toward closing. (The $1,000 incentive is not available in all states.)

• Opendoor Cash-Backed Offers: Allows buyers to compete in hot housing markets by backing their offers with cash.

• Opendoor Complete: Lets people who want to buy and sell a home at the same time manage the entire process from beginning to end on one platform and in a single transaction.

• Streamlined digital transactions: Opendoor’s subsidiary OS National simplifies the closing process by providing fully digital title and escrow services.

Opendoor’s full array of services isn’t available in every state; here are the areas it serves.
