$OPEN I just experienced one of those surreal moments where real life intersects with one of my largest investments.
Last night at an impromptu dinner, my cousin said she’s finally decided to move away from California’s high cost‑of‑living chaos and is actively looking for a home in the Midwest with a move planned soon.
She mentioned she’s been browsing Zillow… so I figured, why not check out Opendoor — the same site I wouldn’t have dared send anyone to a year ago.
But Kaz’s fingerprints are all over it now. The UX is clean, fast, intuitive. Listings feel curated instead of chaotic. And I’m not exaggerating — I found her the perfect home. Great neighborhood, great price, built in 2020, and the whole experience felt… modern. Trustworthy. Actually usable.
Wild to say this, but Opendoor went from “I’d never recommend it” to “I just found my relative’s next home on it.” 😅
That’s a real first‑hand look at a turnaround — and the dedication behind it. Impressive. Absolutely impressive.
