Orchard charges the conventional 6% commission for their services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, Orchard&#8217;s Move First program allows you to buy a new home before you sell your old one. They lend you up to 90% of your <a   href=\"https:\/\/www.houzeo.com\/blog\/home-equity\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">home\u2019s equity<\/a> with no interest. Upon moving, you can sell your old home and repay the equity to Orchard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the program is appealing, they don\u2019t have anything unique to offer for their brokerage services. You have no opportunity to save on agent commissions. You can find multiple companies with similar services for a fraction of this price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<ul class=\"check-minus-content-list\" style=\"background-color: #dff0ff; padding:20px; margin-left:-5px;\">\n\u270d\ufe0f <b>Editor&#8217;s Take: We recommend you opt for cash buyer marketplaces.<\/b> They connect you with nationwide investors and buyers, increasing your chances of getting multiple cash offers.

They are a <a   href=\"https:\/\/www.bbb.org\/us\/ny\/new-york\/profile\/real-estate\/orchard-0121-173809\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">BBB-accredited<\/a> company with an A+ rating. The company was founded in 2017 and was formerly known as Perch. Orchard operates under the leadership of co-founder and CEO Court Cunningham.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Orchard is headquartered in New York but doesn&#8217;t offer services there. They are available in <a   href=\"#orchard-locations\">select markets<\/a>. They have partnered with 100+ licensed agents to provide listing services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading margin-top-28\" id=\"services\"><strong>How Does Orchard Homes Work?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Orchard Homes facilitates a seamless online process. First, Orchard provides a free <a   href=\"https:\/\/www.houzeo.com\/blog\/home-appraisal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">home valuation<\/a> on their website. For this, Orchard&#8217;s agent will take a 30-minute assessment. After that, their home advisor estimates the value of your property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Orchard will then connect you with an agent. The agent will assist you based on the service you choose with Orchard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading margin-top-15\"><strong>List With Orchard<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you only want to sell with Orchard, your agent will collaborate with you to finalize the home&#8217;s value. They list your home on the MLS, oversee showings, and assist in negotiations. Orchard&#8217;s agent guides you through the closing process as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading margin-top-15\"><strong>Move First<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you opt for Orchard&#8217;s Move First program, follow these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Get Your Home&#8217;s Equity:<\/strong> You can access up to 90% of your home&#8217;s equity with 0% interest. You can use this amount to make <a   href=\"https:\/\/www.houzeo.com\/blog\/what-is-a-down-payment\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">down payments<\/a> and pay closing costs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Buy Your New Home:<\/strong> Orchard gives you a sale guarantee. So, you can extend a non-contingent cash offer to buy your new home. This makes your offer more appealing to potential sellers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sell Your Old Home:<\/strong> Once you move to the new home, Orchard will list your old one on the MLS. They represent you as a listing agent and assist you with negotiations and closing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Repay the Equity: <\/strong>Once your home is sold, you pay the equity back to Orchard. You also pay agent commissions, closing costs, repair costs, and service fees.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading margin-top-15\"><strong>Houses Eligible for the Move First Program<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>To qualify for Move First, the property you&#8217;re selling needs to be a single-family home constructed between 1920 and 2021. Orchard&#8217;s valuation of your home must also fall within $200,000 to $1,500,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also use this program if your home is a condominium and valued by Orchard between $200,000 and $750,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"check-minus-content-list margin-top-15\" style=\"background-color: #dff0ff; padding:20px; margin-left:-5px;\"><b>\ud83d\udc49 Orchard Concierge Service:<\/b> Orchard also offers a concierge.

Additionally, you are also responsible for the seller-related closing costs. This will add another 3% to 4% to your overall expenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, if you opt for their Move First program, you are charged a 1.9% service fee along with a 6% commission. You also pay the closing costs for both transactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While Orchard offers convenience, you miss out on the opportunity to save on commissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"check-minus-content-list margin-top-15\" style=\"background-color: #dff0ff; padding:20px; margin-left:-5px;\"><b>\ud83d\udcb2 Competitive Service Fees:<\/b> Orchard&#8217;s service fee for the Move First program is slightly lower than their competitors.<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading margin-top-28\" id=\"reviews\"><strong>Orchard Real Estate Reviews<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Orchard.com has a 4.0 out of 5-star rating on <a   href=\"https:\/\/www.trustpilot.com\/review\/orchard.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Trustpilot<\/a> based on 847 reviews.
