Thank you for joining us. At Opendoor, our mission is straightforward but bold, to make selling your home simple, certain, and fast. For most people, selling a home is one of the biggest financial transactions of their lives, and too often, it's also one of the most stressful. We believe it doesn't have to be that way. Over the past 10 years, we've built deep infrastructure in real estate, pricing intelligence, operational capabilities, and a marketing engine that reaches high-intent sellers. In doing so, we've amassed an unparalleled data set, photos, videos, agent notes, and customer interactions from millions of home visits. This proprietary data fuels our AI, and that AI powers our flagship product, the cash offer, which delivers what traditional sales cannot, speed, certainty, and control. Our customers understand this. Over the past four years, our net promoter score has been near 80, exceptional in any industry. And increasingly agents understand it too. In fact, one in four of our acquisitions already come from an agent bringing us their client for a cash offer. We are now making the most important strategic shift in our history, moving from a single product to a distributed platform with multiple offerings delivered through agents. Agents already come to us every single day for a cash offer. We're simply changing the direction of traffic. putting the power of open door into their hands so they can bring our product straight to the seller. We have two things no one else can give an agent. One, unparalleled lead quality. We are not giving agents cold names from a spreadsheet. We're putting them in the home with a motivated seller. Two, a differentiated product suite, more selling options powered by a trusted local advisor. Sellers can choose the certainty of a cash offer the upside potential of a market listing or a hybrid of both. This means sellers get more choice, more speed, and more certainty. Sellers win, agents win, and Opendoor wins because we can serve far more sellers, monetize more leads, and expand high margin, capital-light revenue streams. We began piloting this new approach in select markets last quarter. The early proof points were compelling. Two times more customers are reaching a final underwritten cash offer relative to our traditional flow. We're delivering offers faster with streamlined in-home agent assessments. Listing conversion rates are five times higher. And we're unlocking more capitalized earnings through our share of listing commissions. On the strength of these results, we've gone from pilot to full rollout in record time. Today, partner agents are live in every market we operate, Our next phase is optimization, more agents, better tools, better training, and more products. We've launched our key agent iOS app so agents can do high fidelity home assessments right from their phone, enriching our AI and deepening the customer connection. Being in the home gives agents the chance to guide the seller through every option. And we believe that face-to-face trust will be a powerful driver of conversion. We've also launched Cash Plus, a hybrid product designed for sellers who want the convenience of a cash offer but hope to maximize upside by going to market. Open Door provides immediate cash to the seller, gets the home list ready, and works with a partner agent to list the home. Upon resale, the seller can receive additional proceeds after expenses. For sellers, it's the best of both worlds. For agents, it's another competitive tool and keeps them engaged with the customer throughout the sales process. For Opendoor, it's a better risk-adjusted product that uses less capital, protects our downside, and aligns our incentives even more closely with the customers. We are building a vibrant distributed ecosystem. Agents come into us for cash offers. We're bringing sellers to partner agents. Sellers gain more choice, more speed, more certainty, and Opendoor gains more opportunities to monetize leads, serve customers, and expand high-margin revenue streams. This is a flywheel. The more agents we enable, the more sellers we serve. The more transactions we handle, the stronger our platform gets. Our marketing dollars become more efficient as we monetize more of the sellers who come to us. And as we grow transactions, we further leverage our cost structure. Value compounds for customers, agents, and shareholders alike. We are making these changes amidst a very challenging housing market. The second half of 2025 will reflect lower acquisition and resale volumes due to the macro environment and continued high spreads, seasonality, and the fact that we are early in our transition. Our near two-minute look, however, does not reflect what we're building towards, durability, relevance, and scale for the next decade. We know exactly where we're going, and we're taking decisive steps to get there. With that, I'll hand it over to Celine for the financials.
