Co-founded in March 2014 by Eric Wu, CEO, and Keith Rabois, Opendoor is a marketplace enabling local homeowners to instantly sell their home online.
The platform aims to streamline the home-selling experience by allowing homebuyers to visit homes themselves scheduling access via mobile, and purchase submitting an offer and complete the transaction online from their phone, tablet or mobile device.

Following Phoenix, the company has just launched in Dallas-Fort Worth, a market with nearly 5 million people in the metropolitan area and a median home price of $233,000, which is near the national average. Opendoor is also opening an office and hiring a local team for Dallas-Fort Worth.
