I have to say that I was a little skeptical at first. No way it could be as easy as it sounds. What's the catch? Where are the hidden fees? I work in the mortgage industry so I'm very familiar with the process of selling a home. Selling a home equals stress x 10. This was by far the easiest transaction I have ever been involved in.

First, the offer they made me on my home was a few thousand dollars more than I would have listed it with a realtor for. Yes, the fees are slightly higher than the normal 6% from a realtor, but this is fully disclosed in the offer. I don't want this review to focus on money because everyone has there own personal financial needs. After I received and accepted my offer, I talked to Jordan for about 15 minutes just to make sure that I was not missing anything because it seemed so easy. I never talked to anyone on the phone again. Everything was done through the app or email at my convenience. Obviously, I could have picked up the phone if needed, but who wants to talk on the phone nowadays. They arrived a little early (Who actually arrives early? The Opendoor team does) for the inspection and were very complementary about the property. The results of the inspection blew my mind. They did not nickel and dime me for tiny things, and did NOT send me a 20-page report ripping my house apart and telling me how awful my house was. Total repairs were under $500, very reasonable.

Fast forward to the final walkthrough, scheduled for 9 am. The young man knocked on the door at EXACTLY 9 am. I was beyond impressed at that point. Never in a million years did I think it would be this easy. Oh, and I signed the final documents a few days early at my convenience. So on the day of the actual closing, all I had to do was check my bank account for the wired funds, and yes, they were in my account by the end of the day. So there was never any catch, no added fees, everything was disclosed upfront and part of the offer. The most stress-free transaction ever, and I didn't even mention that I never had to list my home for sale, didn't have to show my house to multiple strangers on their schedules. Didn't have to worry about a potential buyer getting financing, or backing out at the last minute.

Thank you, Opendoor, for turning one of the most stressful events in life into an amazing experience. I will continue to spread the word about this experience to everyone I can.
