Does Opendoor Buy Houses in Florida?
Last updated 2026-06-21 · Reviewed by Camilo Palacio, Licensed Florida Real Estate Professional (License #3280644, REALTOR®)
Yes, Opendoor buys houses in select Florida markets. Based on publicly listed service areas, they operate in major metros including Orlando, Tampa Bay, Jacksonville, and South Florida. However, Opendoor does not serve every Florida city. Smaller markets, rural areas, and many mid-size Florida cities fall outside their published footprint — and even in covered markets, Opendoor may decline to make an offer based on property condition or type. If Opendoor is unavailable in your area or does not make an offer on your property, Cash Flow Deals is a licensed Florida real estate operation serving all 67 Florida counties through a novation structure — one contract, price locked at signing, sell as-is.

| Service fee | ~5% of sale price (est.) | 0% to seller |

Based on Opendoor's publicly listed service areas, they operate in major Florida metros.

Florida Cities Where Opendoor May Not Be Available
Based on publicly listed service information, many Florida cities do not appear in Opendoor's published coverage area. These include markets such as Sarasota, Naples, Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Clearwater (as a standalone market outside the Tampa Bay coverage boundary), Bradenton, Ocala, Gainesville, Fort Pierce, Vero Beach, Lakeland, Daytona Beach, Melbourne, Palm Bay, Pensacola, and Tallahassee, among others.
This list is based on publicly available information and should not be treated as definitive. Opendoor's coverage changes. The only way to confirm whether Opendoor buys in your Florida city is to enter your address directly on opendoor.com.
If Opendoor does not serve your area or declines your property, Cash Flow Deals covers all 67 Florida counties. We work with sellers in every market listed above and have active experience in Manatee, Sarasota, Collier, Lee, Marion, Alachua, St. Lucie, Indian River, Polk, Volusia, Brevard, Escambia, and Leon counties, among others.
Why Coverage Matters Before You Plan Your Sale
Seller timelines are real. If you are planning a relocation, settling an estate, trying to avoid foreclosure, or dealing with a tax lien or code violation, you may have a hard deadline. Finding out that Opendoor does not serve your Florida city after you have already budgeted around their process can set your timeline back weeks.
The practical rule: check Opendoor's availability first, before making any commitments around their offer. If they are not available in your Florida city, or if they decline to make an offer after your address is reviewed, you will need an alternative that can move quickly. Cash Flow Deals does not require Opendoor availability as a precondition. We review any Florida address the same business day.
What to Compare Beyond Availability: Fees, Repairs, Inspection Risk
Even if Opendoor is available in your Florida city, availability alone is not the full picture. Three other factors matter more for most sellers.
First, the service fee. Opendoor publicly charges approximately 5% of the sale price as a service fee, deducted from your proceeds. On a $350,000 Florida home that is roughly $17,500. Florida documentary stamp tax (F.S. 201.02 — $0.70 per $100 statewide) applies to both Opendoor and CFD sales. See the Opendoor fees calculator at cashflowfl.com/tools/opendoor-fees-calculator-florida for a side-by-side estimate.
Second, the post-inspection repair deduction. Opendoor issues an initial offer, then sends an assessor. What they find becomes a condition adjustment — a reduction from your final number. Florida sellers report $8,000 to $15,000 in deductions is common based on sellers who contacted Cash Flow Deals after receiving Opendoor assessments. This range is illustrative, not guaranteed. Older homes or homes with deferred maintenance typically see larger deductions.
Third, title and property complexity. HOA estoppel letters, liens, probate, and code violations add time and sometimes kill Opendoor deals entirely. Cash Flow Deals closes through Title Guaranty of South Florida and has experience clearing liens, estoppels, and title issues as part of the closing process.
How Cash Flow Deals Covers Every Florida Market
Cash Flow Deals is a licensed Florida real estate operation. Camilo Palacio holds Florida Real Estate License SL3280644. Silver Door Realty (CQ1064903) is the licensed brokerage. This is not a national iBuyer algorithm — it is a licensed brokerage operating in Florida under Florida law, reviewing each property personally.
The sale structure is a novation: one contract, where a real bank-financed homebuyer is identified and qualified before closing. The price is locked at signing and does not move after inspection. The one narrow exception: if foundation failure, active moisture intrusion, unpermitted electrical, or collapsed drain is discovered during the walkthrough, that specific item is re-costed and you decide whether to proceed. Everything else — roof age, condition, deferred maintenance — is priced in from day one.
Cash Flow Deals does not charge a seller-side service fee. CFD is paid as a separate line on the closing statement by the transaction, not by reducing the seller's agreed price. Closing runs through one licensed Florida title company — one title transfer, not an assignment or double close.
Florida City Pages: Find Your Market
Cash Flow Deals has dedicated city pages for major Florida markets. Each page includes local market context, relevant seller scenarios, and a direct path to get a no-obligation offer. Cities currently served with dedicated pages include: Miami, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, Orlando, Jacksonville, Tampa, Sarasota, Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Naples, Clearwater, Bradenton, Ocala, Gainesville, Daytona Beach, Melbourne, Palm Bay, Vero Beach, Fort Pierce, Pensacola, and Tallahassee, among 40+ total FL city pages.
