The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) recently announced its distribution of nearly $6.2 million in refunds to sellers who were misled by OpenDoor, an online real estate listing service. Almost 55,000 homeowners who trusted OpenDoor to sell their homes were affected and will be receiving checks from the FTC.
OpenDoor's deceptive practices serve as a stark reminder of the risks associated with iBuying platforms. These platforms often promise convenience and savings, but the reality is quite different. By working with local brokers, sellers can benefit from their expertise and market knowledge, ultimately ensuring a smoother and more financially beneficial home-selling experience. The FTC's enforcement action against OpenDoor serves as a reminder to consumers to carefully consider their options and prioritize trust and reliability when navigating the real estate market.
