GBGood Experience As Sellers As sellers, we signed with Orchard with some degree of trepidation, since we had no control over market timing and trends. Initially we were a little put off with how the legal stuff was performed, meaning interviews with listing agent were done remotely. Orchard communication with us was very good and our questions and concerns were addressed. In other words it was obvious that Orchard had done this before. We fully expected to have a wait of several weeks for a buyer to emerge after our listing went live and the sign was in the yard. We actually received a great offer 4 days after listing. We had a smooth trip towards closing, with title company communication always on point and able to answer any questions we might have. Again, all done remotely except for the mobile notary who came to us, on time, to get everything signed and sealed. We are glad we decided on Orchard for our sale. We would recommend them to friends and family.

GBOrchard worked well for us The services offered by Orchard worked well for us. Our home sold very quickly for more than we asked. Having the closing also handled by Orchard allowed us to close in 24 days from listing to closing. Our only disappointment was with the cleaning service offered through the Orchard Concierge service. The crew did a poor job which were had to follow up one ourselves. Otherwise, everyone from the listing agent to the closing notary was great. We would definitely recommend them.

GBBuying 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.

GBUse extreme caution when choosing Orchard! Use extreme caution when choosing Orcard. This company will give you a guaranteed offer. However, this company has no idea what guaranteed means. My "guaranteed" offer was reduced by $20,000 two days sfter accepting their so called guaranteed offer. They made me feel like a sucker. Update: Orchard never said anything about a 5 day due diligence clause. They get you excited about selling, then reduce the guaranteed offer hoping that most will go for their trick. As previously stated, I should have listened to my neighbors' warning. I still feel that Orchard is basically a grift.
