Problem
Homeowners who want to buy a new home often face contingent offers, tight timelines, and the logistical challenges of managing two mortgages and multiple showings, leading to stress and financial risk.
Solution
Orchard offers a “Move First” program that lets sellers unlock a portion of their home’s equity to fund the purchase of a new home before their current property is sold. A dedicated local Orchard agent guides the buyer through non‑contingent offers and then handles the preparation, marketing, and sale of the seller’s home, including concierge‑managed repairs and optional 3D tours. The program eliminates the need for double moves, reduces reliance on contingent offers, and aims to achieve top‑dollar sale prices through data‑driven valuations and targeted marketing. Orchard also provides integrated mortgage and title services, allowing the entire transaction to be coordinated under one brokerage umbrella.
Target Audience
Homeowners in Orchard’s service markets who are looking to purchase a new residence while selling their current single‑family home, and who prefer a streamlined, low‑stress transaction managed by a local real‑estate professional.
