Company mission
Orchard's mission is to make home-buying stress-free, fair, and simple.
Role
Who you are
- At least 2 years of professional writing experience. Real estate knowledge is helpful, but not required
- Ability to conduct research and simplify complex topics for broad audiences
- Familiarity with SEO best practices, or a willingness to learn
- Track record of meeting deadlines and producing a high volume of quality content
- Proof you’re a fast learner. We don’t expect you to come to the table knowing the details of our industry, but we need someone who can take that knowledge and build on it
- A desire to work autonomously. You’re comfortable operating with minimal direction and the creative freedom that comes with it
What the job involves
- Orchard is looking for a Content Writer who will help write a library of best-in-class educational content on all things real estate
- You’ll turn out copy that is accessible, easy-to-parse, and engaging, while also incorporating SEO best-practices to help drive traffic to the website and generate leads for the company
- This is a chance to actively engage in content strategy, and an excellent opportunity to get a foothold into SEO marketing — or further refine those skills and apply them strategically
- This is a full-time role that will report into the Content Managing Editor
- Research, write, and edit 15 to 20 pieces of explainer content and data-based articles per month on homebuying, home-selling, and homeownership
- Update and optimize older articles with links and sources to ensure accuracy to improve quality and overall search rankings
- Work cross-functionally with the greater marketing teams and collaborate creatively on new marketing materials
- Be regarded and referred to as a subject matter expert on real estate, both internally and externally
Our take
In an ever-expanding digital real estate market, Orchard offers home sellers the opportunity to buy before they sell, providing a multitude of selling options. The company aims to relieve typical seller pain points like stagings and showings, negotiations, and buyer financing issues,
Although Orchard is by no means the only digital realtor in this growing market, it has a selection of options and services leveling the playing field with major competitors such as Zillow and Open Door. These include a concierge service which streamlines major hurdles in selling a home, and the company covers the costs and organization involved in improvement work to get houses market-ready on the seller's behalf.
Orchard is also the only company to offer a simple one-time commission fee for selling homes, differentiating it from rivals which also charge a service fee on top. Its strategy is proving successful, and it has quickly expanded across 7 US cities with more in the pipeline. Its success so far has earned it unicorn status and it will no doubt continue its successful growth.
