Does Opendoor Buy Houses in Florida?
5 min read · 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 their publicly listed service areas, that includes major metros like Orlando, Tampa Bay, Jacksonville, and South Florida. But Opendoor doesn't serve every Florida city. Smaller markets, rural areas, and a lot of mid-size Florida cities sit outside their published footprint, and even inside a covered market, Opendoor can decline to make an offer based on property condition or type. If Opendoor isn't available where you are, or won't make an offer on your property, Cash Flow Deals is a real estate investor, partnered with a licensed Florida real estate brokerage, covering all 67 Florida counties through a novation structure: one contract, price locked at signing, sell as-is.
| Factor | Opendoor | Cash Flow Deals |
|---|---|---|
| Florida coverage | Select major metros (publicly listed) | All 67 Florida counties |
| Service fee | ~5% of sale price (est.) | 0% to seller |
| Post-inspection deductions | Yes — condition adjustment after assessment | None after signing* |
| License type | National iBuyer | Licensed FL brokerage (SL3280644) |
| Sale structure | Direct iBuyer purchase | Novation — bank-financed buyer, one title transfer |
| Property condition | Newer condition preferred | As-is, any condition including storm damage |
Which Florida Cities Does Opendoor Publicly List?
Based on Opendoor's publicly listed service areas, they operate in major Florida metros. Their published footprint has included Orlando, the Tampa Bay area (including St. Petersburg and Clearwater), Jacksonville, and the South Florida market centered on Miami-Dade. Coverage changes over time, and it isn't uniform across every property type inside a listed metro.
This isn't an exhaustive or guaranteed list. Opendoor's service area availability runs on their own internal criteria and can change without notice. Before you plan a sale around Opendoor's availability, verify your specific address directly at opendoor.com. Cash Flow Deals isn't affiliated with Opendoor and can't confirm or guarantee Opendoor's current coverage in any specific Florida market.

Florida Cities Where Opendoor May Not Be Available
Based on publicly listed service information, plenty of Florida cities don't appear in Opendoor's published coverage. That includes markets like 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 comes from publicly available information. It shouldn't 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 doesn't serve your area, or declines your property, Cash Flow Deals covers all 67 Florida counties. We work with sellers in every market listed above, with 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're 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 doesn't serve your Florida city after you've already budgeted around their process can set you back weeks.
The practical rule: check Opendoor's availability first, before you commit to anything around their offer. If they're not available in your Florida city, or they decline to make an offer after reviewing your address, you'll need an alternative that moves fast. Cash Flow Deals doesn't 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 where Opendoor is available in your Florida city, availability alone isn't the full picture. Three other factors matter more to 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's 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. That range is illustrative, not guaranteed. Older homes or homes with deferred maintenance typically see bigger 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 real estate investor, partnered with a licensed Florida real estate brokerage. Camilo Palacio holds Florida Real Estate License SL3280644. Silver Door Realty (CQ1064903) is the licensed brokerage. This isn't a national iBuyer algorithm. It operates through a licensed Florida brokerage under Florida law, reviewing each property personally.
The sale structure is a novation: one contract, where a real bank-financed homebuyer gets identified and qualified before closing. The price locks at signing and doesn't move after inspection. One exception: a structural surprise found during the walkthrough, like foundation failure, hidden moisture, unpermitted electrical, or a collapsed drain, gets re-costed, and you decide whether to proceed. Everything else, including roof age, condition, and deferred maintenance, is priced in from day one.
Cash Flow Deals charges no seller-side service fee. CFD gets paid as a separate line on the closing statement by the transaction, not by cutting the seller's agreed price. Closing runs through one licensed Florida title company: one title transfer, not a contract-transfer arrangement or back-to-back closing.
Florida City Pages: Find Your Market
Cash Flow Deals has dedicated city pages for major Florida markets. Each page covers local market context, relevant seller scenarios, and a direct path to a no-obligation offer. Cities currently served with dedicated pages: 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.

What Florida Sellers Actually Search Before They Find Out Opendoor Isn't There
Real search data from Florida home sellers backs up exactly the gap this guide covers. Across 4,663 unique search terms Cash Flow Deals analyzed from Florida sellers, "open door real estate" converted at 9.5 per term: direct brand-name demand from sellers trying to confirm Opendoor's coverage in their city before they commit to a timeline. But when a Florida city sits outside Opendoor's published footprint, or Opendoor declines a specific property, sellers pivot fast. "Direct home-buying company" was the single highest-converting term in the dataset at 12.2 conversions, a clear signal sellers want a working alternative, not another dead end.
Cash Flow Deals is a Florida real estate investor that locks in a net price for a seller's house before repairs are scoped, using a novation-based, flat-fee process arranged through its licensed FL brokerage partner, Silver Door Realty — not a traditional listing, and not a brokerage itself.
That's this guide's entire premise. Opendoor covers select FL metros, not all 67 counties. If your city or property falls outside that footprint, Cash Flow Deals reviews any Florida address the same business day with no obligation.
Cash Flow Deals' Florida Offer Process:
1. Submit your Florida address to Cash Flow Deals. Whether Opendoor covers your city or not, a licensed Florida agent reviews it the same business day, no obligation.
2. Your property gets checked against the structural exception: a surprise like foundation failure, hidden moisture, unpermitted electrical, or a collapsed drain. Everything else, including roof age and deferred maintenance, is priced into your offer from day one.
3. Close on your locked net price through one licensed Florida title company, with a real bank-financed buyer already qualified. One title transfer, no post-inspection deduction, no commission.
