I am extremely disappointed with my experience with Opendoor. My offer changed three different times throughout the process, which made it difficult to feel confident or trust the numbers I was being given. The biggest issue was the repair deductions. I completely understand that a company purchasing a home may account for cosmetic updates, paint, and minor repairs. However, I was shocked when I received a $12,000 deduction for repairs. My home was built in 2020, has been well maintained, and it is just me and my preteen living here with no pets. My HVAC system had been professionally serviced only five weeks before the inspection. Even the inspector stated that the home was in good condition and that the main items noted were cosmetic in nature. The repair costs presented by Opendoor felt excessive and did not seem to reflect the actual condition of the home. What made the experience even more frustrating was that I received another offer from a different company that was over $17,000 higher than Opendoor’s final offer. I chose to explore Opendoor because of the convenience and the promise of a simpler cash sale, but the repeated offer changes and unexpected deductions made the process stressful and disappointing. I recommend that anyone considering Opendoor ask very detailed questions about potential repair costs, fees, and how much the offer can change after inspection. The convenience may be appealing, but make sure you compare your final net proceeds with other buyers before making a decision.
