How does Opendoor Checkout work? (buying without an agent)
Opendoor Checkout is a self-service way to buy an Opendoor home without a real estate agent. It is available in 23 states and gives you a straightforward path from offer to closing — with built-in savings.
How it works
- Find a home at opendoor.com/homes.
- On the listing page, select "Buy with Checkout" to begin.
- Follow the guided steps — the platform walks you through the offer, financing, and closing process one step at a time.
- Purchase at 1% below the list price. Because there is no buyer agent commission, the savings are reflected directly in your purchase price.
When Checkout is a good fit
- You are comfortable managing the buying process yourself.
- You do not need agent guidance on negotiations or paperwork.
- You want to save on costs by purchasing at 1% below list price.
- The home is in one of the 23 states where Checkout is available.
When you may want to work with an agent instead
- You want professional negotiation support or advice on the local market.
- You are a first-time buyer and prefer hands-on guidance.
- The property is not in one of the 23 Checkout-eligible states.
