With a large family over 60 years of marriage we had a lifetime of buying and selling homes and dealing with real estate agents. Until selling to OpenDoor this year (2021) I never realized that 99% of my stress and anxiety was actually coming from the real estate agents, themselves. I think OpenDoor taught me why: real estate agents (as opposed to OpenDoor employees) are working for huge commissions often doing very little, and even when they do a lot, they cause the client stress because they are relying on so much money from your house sale. I’m assuming since OpenDoor employees are salaried, they are able to treat everyone more equally and without that stress & pressure. From late checkout (leaseback) to quick offers & closing, this was the greatest real estate experience of my life, and I can’t see why anyone would use an agent again. OpenDoor takes their fee, but it’s the same % an agent takes, and the repair fee is fair and honest. I see why this stock is soaring. I think it’s the way of the future. People who are salaried and working in a balanced way - not strong-arming you to make sure they get their commissions. They also never left me hanging with worries and replied to my emails immediately. Thank you, OpenDoor.
