Opendoor’s Agent Access program gives agents more ways to get rewarded.
Get access to rewards and exclusive perks to grow your business. Earn 1% on eligible representation or referral transactions, on top of any seller paid commission. You also get access rewards for every qualified closed seller and buyer transaction.
Opendoor is a great tool in an agent's tool belt. Being a fiduciary means using every tool to meet your client's needs. Sometimes that means going on the open market. Sometimes that means selling to an investor like Opendoor to take advantage of a fast closing to be non-contingent, to minimize people walking through the home of someone who's immuno-compromised, or to creatively satisfy another obstacle.

- Loyalty points that can earn compensation: Earn points for each seller and buyer closed transaction to unlock exciting rewards
- Points are accrued on a 12 month basis (April 1 to March 31)

- Points are credited when escrow is closed
