Negotiating repairs can be a headache, and the costs are difficult to predict upfront because every buyer is different. When you sell to Opendoor, you don’t need to list your home to get an offer, so you don’t need to invest in repairs or get your home “show ready”. Instead, you simply request an offer and then complete a video walkthrough – either over a video call with an Opendoor representative or through our self-guided process. The purpose of the walkthrough is to verify the condition of your home and identify if any repairs are needed. If our assessment turns up any needed repairs, we’ll ask for a credit and deduct the costs from your net proceeds. This way, you avoid any out-of-pocket repair expenses that you might encounter in a traditional sale.įinally, we’ll do the repair work after you move out, so you can move on your timeline. If you disagree with our repair ask, you can cancel anytime before closing without a penalty.
