Whether you're holding native ETH, stETH, or ETH from an NFT sale, our desk pricing reflects actual market liquidity, not DEX speculation. Your quote is the price. Period.

- No slippage, no hidden conversion fees
- ETH converted directly to fiat
- Same-day execution — wire hits escrow in hours
Proof of Funds Without Selling First
To offer as a cash buyer (so you don't need an ETH-friendly seller), you'll need to show Proof of Funds without nuking your ETH position.
RealOpen verifies your wallet on-chain and issues instant Proof of Funds — no liquidation, no taxable event, no surprises.
How to Buy Real Estate with Ethereum
RealOpen step-by-step
1. Get Proof of Funds
We verify your ETH wallet on-chain and issue an official Proof of Funds based on your current holdings — no liquidation required.
- Secure, on-chain wallet verification
- No need to sell your ETH to show purchasing power
- Institutional-grade PDF accepted by agents, sellers, and title companies
2. Lock Your Rate
When you're ready to fund, we quote your ETH → USD conversion rate and lock it for 10 minutes — giving you price certainty while you prepare your transfer.
- Real-time ETH → USD quote based on your final cash-to-close
- 10-minute rate lock eliminates volatility risk
- Guarantees exact fiat amount needed for escrow
3. Send the ETH
We provide transfer instructions, then you send from your wallet.
- Send from any self-custodied wallet (Ledger, MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, etc.)
- Choose your gas fee — standard or priority recommended
- Trade is executed after 1 on-chain confirmation
- Full support for EIP-1559 and dynamic fee wallets
4. RealOpen Wires Fiat to Escrow
Once your ETH is confirmed and converted, funds are wired directly to escrow — just like any other real estate transaction.
- Exact USD amount wired to escrow or title company
- No crypto exposure for sellers or agents
- You get full fiat transparency, they get a clean wire
Why Not Just Dump ETH on an Exchange?
Sure, you could sell your ETH on a retail exchange...
But when it's time to close on a home, speed and precision matter. Public exchanges don't offer rate locks, have unpredictable spreads and gas fees, and impose withdrawal limits that can wreck your escrow timeline.
RealOpen gives ETH holders a direct OTC path to real estate — without the friction.

Buyer Requirements

- Use any wallet: custodial, non-custodial, hardware, browser-based
- Commit to sending ETH within the 10-minute rate lock window
- Use a standard or priority gas fee to avoid delays
