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. You choose between the Fast Cash Offer, where we buy your house as-is and close, and the Premium Cash Offer, where a pre-approved FHA or conventional buyer we already have, ready to go, pays more and buys directly from you. We cover repair costs, and we figure out a way, so nothing comes out of your pocket. With Premium, only what the buyer's lender requires gets fixed, with costs settled from the sale proceeds out of our share; with Fast Cash, you make no repairs. The number is agreed before any work starts, and it changes only if you agree. The one exception: if something structural surfaces that was not visible or disclosed before we signed — foundation issues, hidden moisture, old wiring, cast-iron drain failure — we re-cost it and bring the number back to you. You decide. You can walk away. We disclose what we know at offer time so this almost never happens. If the Premium buyer's loan falls through, that is our problem, not yours, and you can still take the Fast Cash Offer at its own number.

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 list or an assurance of availability. 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 Opendoor's current coverage in any specific Florida market.
Cash Flow Deals is not affiliated with Opendoor. This page is an independent comparison for Florida home sellers. You can also compare our Fast Cash Offer, where we buy your house as-is and close, with our Premium Cash Offer, where a pre-approved FHA or conventional buyer we already have, ready to go, pays more and buys directly from you. You choose.
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. Your property receives a personal review through this Florida brokerage partnership under Florida law.
You choose between the Fast Cash Offer, where we buy your house as-is and close, and the Premium Cash Offer, where a pre-approved FHA or conventional buyer we already have, ready to go, pays more and buys directly from you. For Premium, you sign with us at an agreed number and give us permission to bring in a buyer in our place. That buyer signs a new contract directly with you, and their lender funds the purchase. Your home may be listed through Silver Door Realty, with a licensed agent and scheduled showings.
We cover repair costs, and we figure out a way, so nothing comes out of your pocket. With Premium, only what the buyer's lender requires gets fixed, with costs settled from the sale proceeds out of our share. With Fast Cash, we buy as-is and you make no repairs. The number is agreed before any work starts, and it changes only if you agree. The one exception: if something structural surfaces that was not visible or disclosed before we signed — foundation issues, hidden moisture, old wiring, cast-iron drain failure — we re-cost it and bring the number back to you. You decide. You can walk away. We disclose what we know at offer time so this almost never happens. Roof age, visible condition, and disclosed deferred maintenance are considered when we prepare your offers.
Cash Flow Deals charges no seller-side service fee. On Premium, we get paid as a separate line on the closing statement from what remains after amounts owed are paid and you receive your agreed number, subject to the structural exception described above. Closing runs through one licensed Florida title company, and title transfers once, directly from you to your buyer. If your Premium buyer's loan falls through, that is our problem, not yours; you can still choose the Fast Cash Offer at its own number.
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 partnered with Silver Door Realty, a licensed FL brokerage. You choose between the Fast Cash Offer, where we buy your house as-is and close, and the Premium Cash Offer, where a pre-approved FHA or conventional buyer we already have, ready to go, pays more and buys directly from you. On Premium, your home may be listed through Silver Door Realty with a licensed agent and scheduled showings. Cash Flow Deals is not itself a brokerage.
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. Compare your Fast Cash Offer and Premium Cash Offer, and choose the one that fits you.
2. We review your property's condition and explain both numbers. The number is agreed before any work starts, and it changes only if you agree. The one exception: if something structural surfaces that was not visible or disclosed before we signed — foundation issues, hidden moisture, old wiring, cast-iron drain failure — we re-cost it and bring the number back to you. You decide. You can walk away. We disclose what we know at offer time so this almost never happens. Roof age, visible condition, and disclosed deferred maintenance are considered when we prepare your offers. We cover repair costs, and we figure out a way, so nothing comes out of your pocket. With Premium, only what the buyer's lender requires gets fixed, with costs settled from the sale proceeds out of our share. With Fast Cash, we buy as-is and you make no repairs.
3. Close through one licensed Florida title company, with one title transfer. With the Fast Cash Offer, we buy and close; with the Premium Cash Offer, your pre-approved buyer buys directly from you using their lender's funds. On Premium, costs and commissions are settled from our share of the sale proceeds, and we are paid as a separate line on the closing statement. If the Premium buyer's loan falls through, that is our problem, not yours, and you can still take the Fast Cash Offer at its own number.
