Founded in 2014, Opendoor exists to tilt the world in favor of homeowners—and those working hard to become homeowners. We believe homeownership should be simpler, faster, and fairer for everyone.

This is Opendoor 2.0—a company-wide refounding focused on speed, operational excellence, and an AI-first approach to everything we do. We've adopted a "Default to AI" philosophy: if AI can handle it, AI should handle it.

Our business plan is simple: buy and sell lots and lots of homes quickly, be operationally excellent, and increase our value to each homeowner by launching services like mortgage, title, and insurance. This is a company in motion. We move fast, we build in the open, and we're redefining what's possible in real estate.
