Agents are not free! Around where I live, you can expect to pay 3% to each of the two agents involved. Selling the house for 5% more doesn't help you if you have to give 6% of the sales price to the agents. I wonder how much of what Opendoor is trying to achieve involves removing or reducing the agent involvement.

I never said they were free.

If getting an agent on your own cost 5%-6%, and opendoor is charging 12%... you are losing 6-7% by using opendoor. That is a LOT of money.
