As an agent, how do I get paid?

Opendoor offers agents clear paths to earn on both the buying and selling side. Here's how compensation works.

Selling side: commission plus the Opendoor bonus

When you represent a seller client on an Opendoor deal, you earn your full commission plus a bonus from Opendoor that starts at 1% of the purchase price and grows to 2%. Both are paid through escrow at closing.

Buying side: buyer agent compensation

Opendoor offers buyer agent compensation on most listings. The amount varies by market. To obtain commission information, reach out to Opendoor via phone, email, or text.

• Commission is paid at closing through the title company.
• Per the NAR settlement, buyer agent compensation is negotiated in writing between you and your buyer. If Opendoor's offered amount doesn't cover your full agreed-upon fee, you can negotiate the difference with your buyer.

How payment works

All commissions and bonuses are disbursed through escrow at closing, to your broker of record, like any transaction. There is no separate invoicing process.

To ensure you receive payment:

1. Submit the offer request yourself (or make sure we know you're the agent early), with your email and MLS ID, so the deal is attributed to you.
2. Verify your brokerage information is accurate and up to date.
3. Track your deal from your dashboard, and flag any discrepancy to your Opendoor contact before the closing date so it can be resolved in time.
