    Real Estate Relief

    Here's what it's really like to try the real estate trend that’s transforming Dallas-Fort Worth

    Since it launched in 2014, Opendoor has been helping North Texans — and tens of thousands of other buyers and sellers all across the country — enjoy a headache-free real estate experience.

    By streamlining the selling process, removing the uncertainty of how long a home will take to sell, and eliminating the stress, hassle, and cost of pre-listing repairs and needing to be "open-house ready" at all times, Opendoor has been a dream come true for home sellers.

    For would-be buyers, it's as simple as using the app to find and visit for-sale homes on your own schedule, any time between 6 am and 9 pm. The app is your key to enter any of the hundreds of local homes for sale in Dallas-Fort Worth, so you can see multiple homes in a day and essentially "speed date" your way into your next home on your own timeline.

    Think it sounds too good to be reality? The Wrights initially did too. Katherine and Robert Wright recently used Opendoor to sell their home in Rowlett, and cannot say enough good things about the experience.

    "We didn't have to do a thing," says Katherine. "Not one single thing. We originally sent in the offer request for fun, just to see what would happen, and when we got the response we were floored that the offer was higher than what we were hoping to get."

    The Wrights, like many families, have an extremely busy schedule that makes always keeping a home in perfect showing condition nearly impossible. They regularly foster children and have two Great Danes, so it was an immense relief to not have to vacate their home on a moment's notice for showings or open houses. For their family, not having the stress and hassle of a traditional sale and having control over the timeline made the guaranteed, fair-market offer on their home that much sweeter.

    "Opendoor handled everything seamlessly, from working around our schedule for the initial home visit to even taking care of the caulking around the toilet that needed to be done," says Katherine. "We kept waiting for the ball to drop, to discover there was a secret fee or something, but there wasn't! It really was as easy as advertised."

    Once a homeowner submits an offer request, Opendoor responds with a fair-market offer that reflects the local comps and the home's current condition. An inspector will verify the condition of the home in-person, and the paperwork is completed online, which many find makes the process even easier — you don't have to go anywhere just to write your signature. It's all streamlined and super convenient.

    The Wrights say that in the past they had less-than-ideal real estate experiences, where they felt people would talk down to them, or not be clear with what was happening during each stage of the sale, but they were impressed with the level of service they got from Opendoor.

    "Every person we spoke to at Opendoor was kind and super easy to work with," says Katherine. "It was a 10 out of 10 experience, and we'll only use them going forward. Every DFW home seller should start the process by at least requesting an offer from Opendoor."

    Opendoor has streamlined both buying and selling.

    Booming Celina hits the big time with its first Walmart Supercenter

    The city of Celina is getting its first mega Walmart: According to a release, it will be a Walmart Supercenter located at the northwest corner of Preston Road (Highway 289) and the West Outer Loop.

    The store has been in the works for a few years, but the Celina Economic Development Corporation celebrated the opening in a groundbreaking on April 16. Mayor Ryan Tubbs called it a "significant moment" for Celina.

    The store will be a whopping 199,402 square feet, featuring a full-service grocery, pharmacy, electronics, apparel, and home goods.

    That puts it on the high side: According to AI, Walmart Supercenters can range from 100,000 to 200,000 square feet, and average around 180,000 to 187,000 square feet, although some larger Supercenters can exceed 250,000 square feet.

    So it's not the biggest Walmart Supercenter ever but it's still a pretty big store.

    It'll serve as the anchor on a mixed-use development featuring urban residential, plus other retailers and dining options.

    The city is also on track to get its first Costco by the end of the year. Will there be no end to the new shopping options? Not any time soon, as the community is now one of the fastest-growing cities in the U.S.

    Celina residents currently have a Brookshire's for their grocery and pharmacy needs. The closest Walmart Supercenters are in Anna, Prosper, and McKinney, with a total of nine in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.

    In the Celina area, this puts Walmart ahead of that slacker H-E-B which so far only has stores in Allen, Frisco, and McKinney, although two more H-E-B stores are currently under construction in Melissa and Prosper.

    “This Supercenter represents more than just a new store - it’s an investment in Celina’s future,” says Anthony Satarino, Executive Director of the Celina Economic Development Corporation in a statement.

    The store is expected to open in spring 2026.
