How do I use OpenOffer.com™?
Just register for free & make your offers. Yes it’s that simple. Our registration and offer process are fast and easy. Just browse through the thousands of properties on our site, chose the properties that you are interested in, and click on the “Make An Offer” button. You then can set your Minimum Open Offer, Maximum Open Offer, and increments (in case another offer is made on the same property). Your offer information is kept private! Even the Seller’s Agent will not know what is your Maximum Open Offer™ or your increments. The Seller’s Agent will only know what your current offer is. When you place offers, you may want to view and monitor them through your control panel. You will see the "Status" of each offer. After placing your offers, just wait to hear back from the Listing Agent or Open Offer™ representative. Remember, if the seller is motivated, then you will hear back. If you do not hear back, then simply delete you offer and property and move on to the next property.
Back to Buyer
Why should I use OpenOffer.com™?
Because you deserve the best price. OpenOffer.com™ is the most innovative real estate web site that serves buyers, sellers, agents and builders. Buyers can place offers on all properties that they are interested in. The process will most likely insure the best possible price. Once you agree on the price with the seller or their agent you may consummate the transaction through the traditional manner – in writing. Buyers and sellers do not need legal forms and binding contracts in order to agree on a purchase price. Our system is fast and very easy.
Back to Buyer
Am I obligated to buy once I place an offer?
No. All offers and communications on our site are NON BINDING. Although you are not limited to the numbers of offers you place, please make sure to make offers on properties you are really interested in. It will save you and the seller a lot of time. The only way you will be obligated to buy a property is through a written and signed offer that you place with your preferred real estate agent.

Yes. In fact, if you are being represented by an agent you must declare it during your registration (failure to do so will result with deletion of your registration). Your buyer’s agent can become a member and place, on your behalf, as many open offers as they wish.

Do you offer ‘Rebate’ from commissions?
No. OpenOffer.com™ does not get any commissions. Furthermore, we do not believe that rebates from agents back to their clients actually benefit the client’s financial position. You may want to consider negotiating a better purchase price instead of getting rebate. Doing so will result with you paying less property taxes and obtaining lower loan amount.

No. OpenOffer.com™ is a site that allows all real estate agents, builders, sellers and buyers to interact before making written offers to buy real estate. Our preferred real estate company is Price Realty.
Back to Buyer
Does OpenOffer.com™ provide property values?
No. Most valuation sites are inaccurate. Most valuation sites do not take into consideration interior or exterior improvements. Improvements can add value to a property but it is very hard to determine how much. A real estate agent will be able to assist you when trying to determine the value of your property. Most Real Estate Agents are involved in your local real estate community; they are familiar with the current inventory of real estate and most importantly with the condition of sold properties. Ask you preferred real estate agent to provide you with a Comparative Market Analysis which will include all similar recent sold homes in your area. They also will provide you with their expert opinion which will be based on the condition of sold homes. Please understand that ultimate valuation of a property should be done by a local certified appraisal. In addition, the final valuation of a property is reviewed and determined by the lender or the bank that is financing the property.
