New offering matches local agents with home sellers—unlocking growth opportunities and expanding choice for customers

SAN FRANCISCO, June 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Opendoor, a leading platform for residential real estate, today announced the expansion of its agent platform, Opendoor Key Agent™ with the launch of Key Connections—a new offering that directly connects a network of select partner agents with high-intent sellers in their market. This evolution positions Opendoor to reach and support more sellers, increase flexibility in its go-to-market strategy, and create new revenue streams.

In a recent survey by Opendoor of real estate agents, more than half (56%) said that getting clients was one of the hardest parts of their job. Now, agents, who are vetted and invited by Opendoor, can leverage Opendoor's strong brand, marketing reach, and end-to-end platform, from home assessments to digitized transactions.

The primary benefits include:

  • For Agents: Thousands of sellers engage with Opendoor, exploring their options and requesting cash offers. Through this new program, partner agents are uniquely positioned to meet with sellers in-person at their homes to present all selling options and help clients make the best decisions.
  • For Sellers: Sellers who work with a local agent through Opendoor gain more personalized support, with greater clarity and confidence in choosing the best way to sell their home – whether that be an Opendoor cash offer or listing with an agent.

Through this program, Opendoor can increase conversion and drive incremental revenue by reaching more sellers and earning revenue from any sale path, not just cash offers.

"This isn't just a new feature—it's a strategic evolution of how we operate," said Carrie Wheeler, CEO of Opendoor. "By integrating top-tier agents into our platform, we're expanding our reach and bringing more flexibility and service to homeowners. It's a smarter, more scalable way to grow our business and deliver on our commitment to make buying and selling a home simple and certain."

Opendoor piloted Key Connections in select markets and, following early positive signals, is planning to expand the program to reach more sellers and strengthen its support for partner agents.

"We've built a leading platform for home sellers—now we're extending it to the top listing agents in the country," said Nick Boniakowski, Head of Agent Partnerships at Opendoor. "Our most successful partners understand that a cash offer is table stakes in today's market. Now, they can help us meet sellers where they are, deliver the right solution, and grow their business with Opendoor at their side."

Participation in the program is currently extended to high-performing agents who demonstrate exceptional local expertise, a strong customer service track record, and alignment with Opendoor's customer-first values. The company plans to continue expanding its partner network as the program scales. Other agents can continue to request an Opendoor offer on behalf of their client to help them sell their home to Opendoor, or represent buyers who are looking to buy an Opendoor home.

"We're not just showing up with a listing presentation, we're showing up with real solutions. In a world where sellers are craving certainty, speed, and flexibility, we get to deliver all three," said Jackie Soto, agent and owner of eHomes, and a pilot program participant. "It builds trust, gives sellers confidence, and positions us as true advisors, not just agents. It's the kind of tool that turns a maybe into a yes."
