Who is the seller and listing agent on Opendoor homes?
Opendoor is the seller. When you buy an Opendoor-listed home, you are purchasing directly from Opendoor — not from an individual homeowner.
How Opendoor becomes the seller
Opendoor purchases homes directly from homeowners, makes repairs and updates, and then lists them for sale. By the time you see a home on opendoor.com, Opendoor already owns the property and is the seller of record.
This means you are dealing with a corporate seller, which comes with some differences compared to buying from an individual.
What it means to buy from a corporate seller
- Consistent process. Opendoor follows a standardized offer review and closing process for every home.
- Pre-listing inspection report. Opendoor typically provides an inspection report on the listing so you know the condition of the home upfront.
- Professional communication. You will work with Opendoor's transaction team rather than negotiating directly with a homeowner.
Who is the listing agent?
The listing agent on an Opendoor home varies by market. It may be:
- An Opendoor-licensed agent — a real estate agent employed by or affiliated with Opendoor.
- A local third-party brokerage — in some markets, Opendoor partners with local brokerages to list their homes.
How to find the listing agent
Your buyer's agent can look up the listing agent through the MLS. You can also contact Opendoor directly for listing agent information.
Tip: If you have questions about a specific property, you can always contact Opendoor directly. You do not need to go through the listing agent to get answers.
State-specific forms and cooperating compensation
In some states, your agent may need to submit a cooperating compensation agreement (such as a Form 220 in North Carolina or similar forms in other states) before your offer can be processed. Check with your agent about state-specific requirements.
To submit these forms or request them from Opendoor, your agent can:
- Submit through the agent portal if the form upload option is available.
- Email the form directly to the listing agent contact shown on the property listing.
- Call 888-352-7075 and ask for guidance on submitting state-specific documents.
