Thanks for the comment, but at the moment we do not cover closing costs or agent fees.

In the event that there is appreciation, but is minimal. We recommend that our client buys us out instead of selling the property. This way, they won't have to deal with the transactional costs, and with the low appreciation, the 20% cut will be very low, so it shouldn't be hard to come out of pocket for that.

As I've mentioned in some of the other replies, we'd love to keep innovating in this space and help reduce these fees, so our clients no longer have to deal with them.

Open Door is one of the companies doing a lot of cool stuff in this space, but we think there can be a lot of room for improvement. Statistically, a home is roughly 64% of the average American's total lifetime net worth, and we don't think people should have to pay so much fees on top of handling their life's most valuable physical asset.
