Find a HomeWhat is OpenPath?
A simpler path to homeownership — and a different way to buy and sell real estate.
OpenPath connects buyers, property owners, landlords, agents, and investors when the traditional real-estate transaction doesn't fit.
The marketplace
What is OpenPath?
The marketplace for properties and buyers when the traditional real-estate transaction doesn't fit.
Traditional real estate works for many people. OpenPath is for the situations where a buyer, a seller, a landlord, an agent, or an investor needs another path. It is a place to be introduced. It is not a lender, and it does not promise that a transaction will close.
Choose your path
Start with who you are
Renter
See whether another path to ownership may fit before the next lease. Current rent is not a housing budget.
Explore a Path to OwnershipSeller
Share a home. OpenPath can look at a traditional sale and, where it may fit, seller financing or a lease-purchase.
Submit a PropertyLandlord
A rental does not have to stay a rental. Submit it and review a sale, a flexible exit, or keeping it.
Submit a RentalAgent
When a lender declines a buyer, a listing goes stale, or a seller wants another path, introduce the opportunity. The form does not create compensation.
Refer a BuyerInvestor
Add flexible-purchase inventory for buyers who are looking for alternatives. The first property can be free. Buyers remain free. OpenPath does not collect a payment here.
Add a PropertyHow OpenPath works
A person stays in the process
Tell us what you need
A buyer, owner, landlord, agent, or investor describes the situation in their own words.
OpenPath identifies possible opportunities
A person reviews what was submitted and what is already in the marketplace.
We look for potential matches
Matching is a search for a possible fit. It is not an approval and it is not a commitment.
People review the opportunity
The people involved decide whether a conversation is worth having.
Appropriate professionals and documentation complete the transaction
If a transaction is appropriate, the people and documents required for that structure finish it. Nothing closes itself.

Homes are added as each market is ready
OpenPath is launching in South Carolina, starting with the Midlands and the Upstate and their surrounding areas. The homes on this page are the ones approved for public display. A short list is not a count of every opportunity, and it is not a claim that homes are scarce.
Registered buyers can be matched with properties that are not publicly listed yet. Registration is free. It does not promise a home, financing, or a closing.
Property owners and agents can submit a home for review. A submission is not a public listing until OpenPath approves it.
Past transactions
Different paths. Real transactions.
Sold homes are shown separately from homes that are available now. A label appears only when the structure is verified.

Alternative paths
Structures that may be available
Seller financing
On some homes, the seller may accept payments over time. It is not a bank mortgage, and the terms exist only in a written agreement.
Learn moreLease-purchase
Where an owner is willing, a lease with a later purchase option may be discussed. It is not available on every home.
Traditional sale
Cash or the buyer's own mortgage still belongs in the conversation. OpenPath is another path, not a replacement for every sale.
Flexible purchase structures
Some situations need a structure other than a single standard contract. Each one is reviewed on its own facts.
Buyer and property matching
Registered buyers and approved properties can be compared. A match is a possible introduction, not a promise of a deal.
OpenPath is not a lender and does not guarantee financing, qualification, approval, a sale, a buyer, income, or a completed transaction. Any structure is real only in a written agreement. Traditional real estate still works for many people.
South Carolina launch
Midlands and Upstate first
OpenPath starts in South Carolina by building meaningful concentrations of properties and buyers in the same markets: the Midlands and the Upstate. A wider map comes after those markets have enough of both.
