@Pray4Tendies Can someone fill me in on why we need realtors in the house buying revolution. I would understand a housing "advisor" but is a realtor really a function we need going forward?
🚨 $OPEN Army,
Here’s the harsh reality I’ve ran into over the last few months:
- I’ve talked to plenty of realtors across different markets, due to how high of conviction I have in this company.
- Every single one, without exception, described Opendoor as “lowballers,” “scammers,” or “predatory flippers.”
- Their clients never even get to evaluate Opendoor’s products because the agent blocks it upstream.
- This narrative isn’t built on data, spreads, or actual offer history. It’s built on realtor incentives and misinformation.
- This is a choke point bigger than mortgage rates, inventory, or macro.
If @Opendoor wants true national penetration, this realtor-driven perception wall has to be addressed.
Us investors see you’ve already steered very clear of how your business used to function, but the people competing with you in the same industry clearly haven’t.
I know the main thing is time, but in what other ways does the team plan to lift this stigma that keeps sellers from ever seeing the products you offer?

@BowTiedDinosaur I want to start working on my WP site again. I get about 20 clicks a day and its been dormant for 1.5 years. You may end up motivating me
I don't think most people are capable of anticipating the societal changes that will occur if only ~35% of 1990s cohort women get married by their 40s.
It will be a different country.
