Scam First, Orchard will sucker you in with an offer based on Zillo, then later they will say, Oh we can only give you 85% of what we quoted you, then one finds out that Orchard doesn't buy the house at all, they go out to investors in hopes of finding one interested. meanwhile they attempt to pressure you into getting one of their realtors. we lost a house because of time it takes to find out that the investor wasn't interested in our home because it was in a developing sub division.

Buying and selling with Orchard was so easy! We bought our new home with Orchard's Move First Program and it made it so easy! They fronted us the equity in our existing home to buy the new home. It was an interest free loan. Once we moved out of our house that we were selling, we then listed it with Orchard for sale and sold through them again making it extremely easy without having to worry about keeping the house clean for showings, etc. I would highly recommend Orchard to anybody who wants to avoid the stress of showings, keeping your house clean, and trying to coordinate a move all at one time. Moving ahead of time and getting settled in the new home then selling the old home was perfect. I would do it again. One thing I particularly liked was on Orchard.com, once you sign up, they have a dashboard where you can use the financial calculator that they have and you can plug in the purchase price of your new home and then the sales price of your old home and you can see true numbers so you know whether or not you're buying smart and what you're going to end up netting after you sell your existing home. It was so helpful to know up front what we could afford to buy before selling our existing home to accomplish our goal of having very little mortgage afterwards.

They work for YOU and WORK they do! EVERY person involved in the whole process are TRUE professionals! They got us a cash offer that was close to what we were considering to list our house for. Once it was all said and done, ans about $10,000 in repairs we didn't have to come out of pocket for, we cleared ANOTHER $38,000! Plus we were already unpacked in our new house. This team is very transparent and let us make the final decisions from listing price to how much we were comfortable with putting into repairs. I HIGHLY recommend Jason and the whole Orchard team.

Not Pleasant Orchard states that they are “radically simplifying the way people buy and sell their homes”. My experience with them has been such an emotional rollercoaster. First, the realtor that was initially assigned to my listing provided false information to me. We were working with a very tight timeline and were told that if we did not find another home, we could choose to terminate the contract. To me, that made no sense as I was the seller so I asked if there were any legal repercussions in doing so. I was told no. Then, I found out that was false when the realtor who was assigned to me called me to tell me the Buyer’s agent threatened to sue and we HAD to find another house. I will say that Orchard did negotiate a longer leaseback so we had the time to find another home. But, I can’t seem to understand how this ever happened. We were relying on the realtor to provide accurate information. Orchard replaced our realtor with someone who seemed to be much more experienced in real estate which is why I’m giving 2 stars. The new agent really tried to clean up the mess that was made. Finally, we got to the final walkthrough and the Buyer’s agent showed up at a time we hadn’t agreed to. We wanted to be polite about it, but wished that we had had the opportunity to confirm the appointment rather than it being dictated on us given how everything else went in this. I still don’t understand how Orchard can in good faith ask me to pay all of the commissions because the experience we received was far from radically simple. Given the chance to do this again, I would go with another agency to avoid the nightmare this has been for us.

Orchard.com simplified our home selling and buying process We used Orchard.com to sell our old house and purchase 2 new houses. Working with Orchard made the process of finding our new houses while selling our existing house much easier. Orchard fronted us the money to get our new houses and Orchard's Concierge service helped us get our old house renovated and sold for an excellent price. We were very happy with the overall process and how smooth Orchard made the often complex process of selling and finding new residences.
