You know that seller—the one who ghosted you after saying, “We just want something easy, like Opendoor”? Yeah. That one. It used to sting, watching your listing walk out the door while you walked away with nothing.

But not anymore.

Thanks to ExpressOffers, eXp agents can now give sellers what they want: quick, convenient cash offers for houses, including one from Opendoor—without sacrificing your commission or your sanity. Even better? You’re still their agent, start to finish. You get paid. You stay in the driver’s seat. And your client avoids the chaos of showings, repairs, and financing drama.

It’s like someone finally built an iBuyer model that doesn’t screw over agents. Imagine that. Want in? You should. Because this isn’t just a cool perk—it’s a full-blown listing magnet. Here’s your handy-dandy index:

Understanding iBuying

iBuyer Basics

Alright, you likely know the drill. But let’s recap. iBuyers are companies that use technology to make quick offers on homes, buying directly from home sellers.

Unlike the traditional route where sellers list their homes and wait for buyers, iBuyers speed up the process by using data to determine a home’s value and making fast, all-cash offers.

Home Seller Benefits

One major advantage of using iBuyers is speed. Sellers don’t have to wait long to offload their property.

Another perk is convenience – no hassle of open houses, showings, repairs, or waiting for buyer financing approvals.

Home sellers also have the flexibility to choose their closing date, which is perfect if they need to move on a specific date.

IBuyer Home Types

Large corporate iBuyers typically look for specific types of homes. They most often target houses in selling areas with lots of similar homes – think planned neighborhoods or “tract” homes. There, recent home sales go a long way to coming up with predictable prices.

Additionally, most large iBuyers want homes that are in decent condition. Contrary to popular belief, most iBuyers are not in the business of “flipping” homes. They don’t mind doing some quick cosmetic changes, but their goal is to turn around and sell the home for a profit relatively quickly.

Corporate iBuyers also tend to avoid homes on the luxury end of the market preferring a market that attracts both more home buyers and sellers.

What is ExpressOffers?

eXp Realty iBuyer program is called ExpressOffers. Similar to large corporate iBuyers, ExpressOffers provides quick cash offers for home sellers. However, ExpressOffers stands out by offering unique benefits for home sellers and you, making it by far a superior choice.

eXp Realty iBuyer Better for Agents

Agents Get Paid for the Original Sale

Unlike large iBuyers, where agents are typically left out of the transaction, eXp Realty’s ExpressOffers allows agents to earn a commission, one that they negotiate directly with the seller. This means you still get paid even if your client opts for a quick cash sale.

Agents Get Paid for the Next Sale

It gets even better. When the eXp Realty iBuyer eventually goes to list the home, the listing goes back to the original eXp Realty agent. It’s like double-dipping, but your double commission comes from two home sales with a bit of time in between.

Why eXp Realty Cash Offers Are Better for Home Sellers

When it comes to cash offers for houses, eXp Realty gives sellers more options—and more control. With ExpressOffers, your clients aren’t limited to just one investor or offer. Instead, they can tap into a network of serious buyers, compare offers, and pick what works best for them.

And now? eXp just leveled up.

Thanks to a new partnership with Opendoor, the largest iBuyer in the U.S., your sellers can now get a legit Opendoor cash offer directly through the ExpressOffers platform. That’s right. The same Opendoor they’re Googling at midnight? You can now offer that, with full agent support (and your commission intact).

But wait, there’s more:

• More Property Types Accepted
  ExpressOffers doesn’t stop at cookie-cutter homes. We’re talking luxury listings, rentals, fixer-uppers, and properties that corporate iBuyers normally ghost. If it has a roof, there’s a good chance ExpressOffers has a buyer.
• Multiple Offers, One Simple App
  Your clients fill out a single application through you, and ExpressOffers gets to work. In return, they receive multiple competitive cash offers—all in one place. Side-by-side comparisons? Check. No pressure? Also check.

So yeah, when you can offer cash offers for houses from Opendoor and beyond, you’re not just helping your sellers—you’re making yourself the obvious choice.

eXp Realty iBuyer Agent Perks

Besides earning a commission for an iBuyer cash offer, there are other benefits for agents.

More Listing Appointments

Being able to offer home sellers a competitive cash offer means more listing appointments for eXp agents for two reasons.

First, you can earn more listing appointments by offering the possibility of cash offers. Second, ExpressOffers provides leads from its lead generation efforts to eXp agents.

Cash Sale Reality

Another agent perk is that odds are that your iBuyer listing appointment will result in you getting another traditional listing. In fact, about 90% of the time, home sellers decide against a cash sale once they understand the iBuyer reality.

That is, because iBuyers are in the business for profit, they don’t offer the maximum value for a home. You can show the home seller offers from iBuyers and then explain that the seller is likely leaving money on the table with the cash offer. That is a deal-breaker for many sellers.

This honest, upfront approach often earns the agent the listing instead. It’s a strategic way to convert a cash-offer lead into a traditional listing.

Thus, the partnership between ExpressOffers and eXp Realty benefits both home sellers and agents. Sellers receive expert guidance on their best options, while agents gain access to a broader range of potential listings and clients. It’s a win-win situation that enhances your ability to secure more listings and provide sellers with comprehensive support.

How ExpressOffers Works

ExpressOffers is the team and technology behind eXp Realty iBuyers. The technology organizes and standardizes a plethora of iBuyers standing ready to make cash offers.

ExpressOffers Application

The process is straightforward. eXp agents upload details about a home to the ExpressOffers platform. eXp agents can immediately see which iBuyers might be interested in purchasing the property.

Next, the eXp agent gathers more home details for the potential investors. iBuyers review the information and may ask for more details or photos. Sellers don’t have to do anything during this time.

ExpressOffers Cash Offers

Then, voila, home sellers can receive multiple cash offers from interested investors. Sellers can see all offers side-by-side. They compare them without pressure.

ExpressOffers Decision Time

Sellers have time to think over the offers. They decide what’s best for them. They can accept an offer, reject an offer, or ask for changes. There’s no obligation to accept any offer.

ExpressOffers Closing Process

If a home seller accepts an offer, the closing process begins. As usual, you help with the paperwork and deadlines. Closings usually happen much faster than traditional sales. Your sellers can sometimes have their cash in hand within two weeks after accepting an offer.

Agent Support

Throughout this process, eXp Realty agents provide support. They answer questions and give advice based on experience. eXp agents make sure sellers understand each step. They help sellers feel confident in their decisions.
