Opendoor, an online real estate marketplace that gives people a simple and convenient way to buy, sell and trade-in homes, is launching this week in the broader Jacksonville metro area, including Ponte Vedra and Northern St. Johns County.
This is the third Florida market for Opendoor’s real estate offering; the company has operated in Orlando since October 2017 and in the Tampa Bay area since May 2018, serving thousands of customers.
According to the company, homeowners who are interested in selling to Opendoor can visit www.opendoor.com and get a competitive, all-cash offer on their home in 24 to 48 hours. If they choose to accept the offer, the company says they’ll skip the hassle of prepping, listing, having open houses and potential double-moves, and double mortgages. After accepting the offer and completing a free home assessment, sellers choose their close date, collect the funds from the sale and move on to their next chapter.
Potential buyers in the Jacksonville metro can download the Opendoor app to instantly discover and tour available homes in the area, no appointment necessary. Every for-sale Opendoor home is available for self-guided tours seven days a week from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m.
To lead the Jacksonville operation, Opendoor has enlisted United States Navy veteran Greg Hiltz to serve as general manager. Hiltz leads the team and works closely with First Coast buyers, sellers, real estate agents, local businesses and general contractors and tradespeople.
Opendoor currently operates in more than 20 markets in the U.S. and expects to be in 50 cities by the end of 2020. Headquartered in San Francisco, Opendoor has over 1,200 employees.
