Orchard operates in the residential property market, focusing on making the process of buying and selling homes easier for individuals and families. Their main service is the 'Move First' approach, which allows clients to purchase a new home before selling their current one, reducing the stress of coordinating both transactions. This is supported by a guaranteed back-up offer that provides security for sellers. Additionally, Orchard offers free home valuations that are claimed to be 30% more accurate than typical valuations, helping clients understand property values better. Unlike traditional real estate agencies, Orchard's unique services and focus on client convenience may allow them to charge higher fees. The goal of Orchard is to simplify and alleviate the challenges associated with home buying and selling.
