This is a tough moment. To those impacted, your work and contributions matter. Losing a job is hard, and it’s okay to feel that way. This moment does not define you. If you’re exploring what’s next, @Opendoor is hiring for multiple roles. Feel free to reach out.
we're making @blocks smaller today. here's my note to the company. #### today we're making one of the hardest decisions in the history of our company: we're reducing our organization by nearly half, from over 10,000 people to just under 6,000. that means over 4,000 of you are

@pulte 100% 🎯 @Opendoor is launching our own in-house fully native AI mortgage product to simplify origination and maximize affordability. Happy to demo for you anytime.
Fannie and Freddie are keenly aware of AI, and are welcoming all innovations amongst customers and partners. Each encourages all partners to "lean into" AI, because AI will rapidly change the mortgage market, and our focus will be on making sure the market stays Safe & Sound.

We exist to tilt the world in favor of homeowners. Not the homeowner with the best agent, or the most flexibility, or the luxury of tolerating uncertainty. All of them. The mom who needs to move in 30 days for a job. The family that is growing but can't carry two mortgages.

Can't agree more. What's worth understanding is how AI is being used, and at @Opendoor it's invisible, integrated into the culture, and happening at two levels. 1. In the core product itself, how we assess homes, manage underwriting, pricing models, manage paperwork, rewrite
Opendoor CEO @nejatian says the company is the “most AI-pilled” company in public markets with a new leadership team as good as any other major tech company. I love that and the early results are starting to demonstrate the benefits. Bullish.

I'm excited to share The Hardest Part - our first campaign that celebrates Opendoor’s mission to tilt the world in favor of homeowners. A home holds birthdays, first steps, late nights, quiet mornings. Selling it isn’t just a transaction. It’s a goodbye to a chapter of your

I totally agree! Lately, I've been trusting AI more and more with its output, especially at work. Just recently, I used the Claude + Cursor combo to review our design system across Figma and Github code, and it almost felt like working with a dedicated design system team right

📣 NEW! I’ve just released the BIGGEST and perhaps most creative project I’ve ever worked on! “Searching for Birds” https://t.co/CgFoywkrjq 🐤 A #dataviz article & exploration that dives into the data that connects humans with birds, by looking at how we search for birds.

Quick gut check on how we talk about Opendoor. If you were selling your home to us, what matters more?

Fixed in a little less than 2 hours. If you see bugs, please send them to us. They're gifts and we take them seriously.
@morganb @shrisha pulled an offer on my BK house today, noticed something strange, not sure if it's intended: On the "your preliminary offer" page, under "Get paid in 3 simple steps", step 1 is "Complete assessment", step 2 is "Complete the assessment".

We built a thing. Turn your home into a tiny diorama, Wes Anderson scene, or retro video game world. Can you guess this famously fresh TV home? Try it free: https://t.co/JDmMNanM09

Love this. Grateful to @morganb not only for building this end-to-end over a weekend and shipping it, but also for setting the bar for curiosity and craftsmanship. Truly inspiring for the whole team.
Fridays are fun - imagine your home with AI. I had to do my childhood home in Avon, CT w/the GI Joe vibe in honor of the Open Army. Try it at https://t.co/b8Ztg2OlIL

We're building a mortgage product at @Opendoor, fully AI-native from Day 1. Homeownership should be easier, especially when it comes to mortgage. We're working together with our partners at @Lennar to make that future a reality - on https://t.co/8KG35Euzpn and off it. More soon
