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 staging's 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.
