Cash Flow Deals serves you across Florida, including counties outside Opendoor's coverage. Opendoor serves six Florida metro areas, and its national purchases fell from 37,000 homes in 2021 to 8,241 in 2025. If your home did not fit its criteria or its offer did not fit your needs, you can 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. Call 786-891-9111 to get started.

Where Opendoor Actually Operates in Florida

If you are considering Opendoor, check whether it currently buys at your address. Its Florida coverage has included the Miami metro, Tampa metro, Orlando metro, Jacksonville metro, the Southwest Florida region around Naples, Fort Myers, and Cape Coral, and portions of the Florida Panhandle. Coverage can vary within those areas. If you live in Tallahassee, Pensacola, Gainesville, Ocala, Lakeland, Daytona Beach, Port St. Lucie, Fort Pierce, Vero Beach, Palm Bay, Brevard County, or another Florida community, confirm eligibility directly.

Even within those six regions, your property's condition, lot size, roof age, or price range may affect eligibility. If your Miami or Tampa home does not qualify, you can still explore other ways to sell.

Nationally, Opendoor purchased 8,241 homes in 2025, compared with approximately 37,000 in 2021. Those figures describe its purchase volume; your options depend on your home, your circumstances, and the terms available to you.

Cash Flow Deals serves you across all 67 Florida counties. You can compare the Fast Cash Offer, where we buy your house as-is and close, with 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. You choose which offer fits your needs.

What Opendoor Really Charges Florida Sellers

Opendoor's pricing model has two layers that sellers often do not fully account for until the net proceeds sheet arrives. The first layer is their service fee, which typically runs 5 to 8 percent of the sale price. The second layer is standard seller closing costs, title insurance, documentary stamp taxes, and any remaining mortgage payoff, which sellers pay on every transaction regardless of who the buyer is.

In Florida, the documentary stamp tax on the deed runs $0.70 per $100 of the sale price (F.S. § 201.02). On a $350,000 home that is $2,450 before any other cost. Title insurance rates in Florida follow promulgated rates set by the Office of Insurance Regulation. On a $350,000 sale, the owner's title policy alone adds roughly $1,575 to $1,900 depending on the insurer. These costs exist on every sale.

When you stack Opendoor's 5-8% service fee on top of standard Florida closing costs, net proceeds to the seller frequently land 10 to 15 percent below what the same home would yield on the open market. On a $350,000 home, that gap can represent $35,000 to $52,000 in reduced proceeds.

Opendoor frames this as convenience pricing, and for some sellers the speed tradeoff is worth it. But for sellers who were turned down or who simply want to compare options, the math matters. Cash Flow Deals does not operate on an iBuyer fee structure. The CFD fee appears as a separate line on the closing statement, and the service is free to the seller. The end buyer, not the seller, carries that cost.

Opendoor's Re-Trading Risk: What Happens After Your Inspection

Re-trading means reducing an agreed purchase price after an inspection. If you have planned your move around an offer, a proposed reduction can leave you reconsidering both your proceeds and your timeline.

When you compare an Opendoor offer, read the assessment and inspection terms carefully. A preliminary offer may change following an assessment. Before accepting, understand when the amount becomes final, what contingencies apply, and when you can cancel.

Your written agreement matters. F.S. § 689.261 addresses seller disclosure obligations; you should also review the inspection, cancellation, and price-change provisions in your purchase agreement with an attorney.

If you face foreclosure, a job relocation, or an estate deadline, an unexpected change two weeks into your sale can disrupt the plans you have already made. Ask about those terms before you commit.

With Cash Flow Deals, you compare the Fast Cash Offer and Premium Cash Offer and choose what fits. 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. You can review the written agreement with an attorney before signing.

The CFD Process: How It Differs Structurally from Opendoor

With Cash Flow Deals, you choose between the Fast Cash Offer and Premium Cash Offer. With the Fast Cash Offer, we buy your house as-is and close. With the Premium Cash Offer, 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 a buyer in our place. Your buyer signs a new contract directly with you. Title transfers directly from you to that buyer, and their lender funds the purchase. Your home may be listed through Silver Door Realty, a licensed Florida brokerage, with a licensed agent and scheduled showings.

Title Guaranty of South Florida handles the closing. Anything owed is settled from the sale proceeds first, then you receive your agreed number, and we are paid last from what remains. Our payment appears as a separate line on the closing statement. 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.

We cover repair costs, and we figure out a way, so nothing comes out of your pocket. With Premium, only what your buyer's lender requires gets fixed, with costs settled from the sale proceeds out of our share. With Fast Cash, we buy as-is, with no repairs for you to make.

If your buyer's loan falls through, that is our problem, not yours, and you can still take the Fast Cash Offer at its own number instead of completing the Premium Cash Offer sale.

Whether you are in Tallahassee, Pensacola, Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Kissimmee, Port St. Lucie, or any of the 50-plus Florida markets discussed here, you can start by comparing your options.

Florida Cities Where CFD Fills the Opendoor Gap

Your location and circumstances should be part of the conversation about selling your house. Whether you have an estate property in Tallahassee, face foreclosure in Pensacola, have hurricane damage in Fort Myers, need help with code violations in Cape Coral, or are going through a divorce in Port St. Lucie, you can ask us to review your property and your timeline.

Cash Flow Deals serves those markets. Whether your property is in Miami-Dade or Escambia County, start with one phone call to 786-891-9111. We review your property, show you the Fast Cash Offer and Premium Cash Offer, and let you choose. We buy as-is and close on Fast Cash; a pre-approved FHA or conventional buyer we already have, ready to go, pays more and buys directly from you on Premium. Title Guaranty of South Florida handles closing.

You can compare these options if your home has deferred maintenance, sits outside an iBuyer's service area, or received an offer that later changed. If you inherited the property, we can review your situation, but any required probate or title work still needs to be completed.

Florida includes more than six metro areas: it has 67 counties, hundreds of municipalities, and hundreds of thousands of homeowners with different needs. Opendoor's national purchases fell from 37,000 annually to 8,241 in 2025. Whatever that change means for your local market, you can contact us to discuss your own home.

What to Ask Any Opendoor Alternative Before You Sign

Before you sign with an Opendoor alternative, ask four questions so you understand who buys your home, what you receive, and what happens if the sale cannot proceed.

First: When is my number agreed, and what could change it? With Cash Flow Deals, 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. Ask to see those terms in your written agreement.

Second: Who buys my home? 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, your buyer signs a new contract directly with you, and title transfers directly to them.

Third: What costs and fees appear on my closing statement? Ask for written terms and review any brokerage disclosures under F.S. § 475.278 with your attorney. We cover repair costs, and we figure out a way, so nothing comes out of your pocket. On Premium, only what your buyer's lender requires gets fixed, and those costs are settled from the sale proceeds out of our share. Fast Cash is bought as-is. Our payment appears separately on the closing statement.

Fourth: Who handles closing, and what happens if financing fails? Title Guaranty of South Florida handles our closings, and you receive the closing disclosure before the closing date. If your 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. Review the disclosure and written agreement before you sign.

Common questions

Does Opendoor buy houses in all Florida cities?

No. Opendoor's active Florida markets are limited to the Miami metro, Tampa, Orlando, Jacksonville, the Southwest Florida region, and portions of the Panhandle. Sellers in Tallahassee, Pensacola, Gainesville, Ocala, Fort Pierce, Lakeland, Daytona Beach, and dozens of other Florida cities cannot use Opendoor at all.

Why did Opendoor reduce my offer after the inspection?

This is called re-trading. Opendoor issues a preliminary offer, conducts an assessment, then reduces the price based on what they find. Their contract allows this adjustment. Sellers have limited recourse beyond accepting the lower number or walking away and restarting the sale process.

What does Opendoor charge Florida sellers?

Opendoor charges a service fee that typically runs 5 to 8 percent on top of standard Florida closing costs: documentary stamp taxes, title insurance, and any mortgage payoff. Combined, sellers often net 10 to 15 percent less than they would on the open market.

What is the difference between CFD and Opendoor?

Opendoor purchases homes with company capital for resale. With Cash Flow Deals, 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. You can compare your options anywhere across all 67 Florida counties.

Can I sell my Florida house as-is without Opendoor?

Yes. With Cash Flow Deals, you can compare the Fast Cash Offer and Premium Cash Offer across Florida. We buy your house as-is on Fast Cash, with no repairs for you to make. On Premium, a pre-approved FHA or conventional buyer we already have, ready to go, pays more and buys directly from you. Only what that buyer's lender requires gets fixed. We cover repair costs, and we figure out a way, so nothing comes out of your pocket; those costs are settled from the sale proceeds out of our share. You choose. Call 786-891-9111 to get started.

Is CFD a cash buyer like Opendoor?

No. Opendoor buys homes with company capital for resale. Cash Flow Deals gives you a choice: the Fast Cash Offer, where we buy your house as-is and close, or 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. With Premium, your buyer signs a new contract directly with you and their lender funds the purchase. If their loan falls through, that is our problem, not yours, and you can still take the Fast Cash Offer at its own number.
