About the role
About Opendoor
At Opendoor our mission is to tilt the world in favor of homeowners and those who aim to become one. Homeownership matters. It's how people build wealth, stability, and community. It's how families put down roots, how neighborhoods strengthen, how the future gets built. We're building the modern system of homeownership giving people the freedom to buy and sell on their own terms. We’ve built an end-to-end online experience that has already helped thousands of people and we’re just getting started.
What You’ll Need
Strong negotiation and communication skills — comfortable on the phone, able to explain complex terms simply, and skilled at advocating for your client while preserving relationships.
Proven ability to transact at high volume, stay organized, and hit deadlines in a fast-paced, metrics-driven environment.
High ownership mindset and comfort working cross-functionally to resolve issues (title, inspections, HOA, lender, internal ops, etc.).
About the Role
At Opendoor, we’re rebuilding how people buy and sell homes, with more certainty, more choice, and less friction in the most important financial decision of their lives. Opendoor 2.0 is about focus, execution, and delivering real value for homeowners and those striving to become homeowners.
Our Resale Listing Partners are licensed real estate professionals who serve as the single point of contact with buyer’s agents from offer through close on Opendoor-owned homes. They negotiate on behalf of our seller (Opendoor), coordinate with internal teams and title partners, and drive smooth, on-time closings while delivering a standout agent and buyer experience.
We’re building a remote Listing Partner team in New York for professionals with an active New York real estate license. As a Listing Partner, you’ll focus on learning our playbook, mastering our tools, and building strong negotiation and communication skills. You’ll be supported with training, clear processes, and coaching so you can ramp into handling a high volume of listings and contracts with confidence.
What You’ll Do
Own offer-to-close communications with buyer’s agents on assigned Opendoor listings, serving as their primary point of contact throughout the transaction.
Negotiate offers and terms (price, concessions, repairs, timelines) within Opendoor guidelines to balance conversion, margin, and customer experience.
Oversee transactions to close by deadline through coordinating with internal teams (pricing, homes/renovations, transaction coordinators, title/escrow, brokerage) and external partners to clear issues and keep files moving.
Manage repair negotiations by reviewing inspection reports, leveraging our internal tools and workflows, and presenting clear, data-backed counters to buyer’s agents.
Maintain high-quality documentation in our internal systems (offer details, counter terms, repair decisions, key milestones) so others can quickly understand the status of each file.
Monitor portfolio health for your assigned listings, paying special attention to long-DOM homes and higher-risk transactions, and escalating when additional support or strategy is needed.
Deliver excellent agent and buyer experiences through proactive communication, expectation setting, and timely follow-up via phone, email, and text.
Adopt and champion new tools and processes (e.g., negotiation models, automation, AI-powered workflows, TC support) designed to increase both your productivity and deal quality.
Bonus Points If You Have
Active real estate salesperson license in any state (or ability to obtain within a defined timeline prior to start date, subject to business needs and brokerage requirements).
Experience listing and/or selling homes.
Experience in residential real estate (e.g., listing agent, buyer’s agent, transaction coordinator, or similar client-facing role), or directly transferable experience in high-volume negotiations or transaction management.
Familiarity with MLS, transaction management platforms, and CRM tools.
Prior experience working in a centralized or inside sales environment (phone- and email-heavy).
Comfort using data and tooling (reports, dashboards, AI/automation) to inform decisions and prioritize your time.
