"Experience with Move First"

Hopefully this helps people understand the move first program. We utilized Orchard's move first offer. Initially they visited with us and gave us a general run down of the program. The quick version: They give you a lowball guaranteed offer (not ridiculous but lower than market rate). If you have equity this allows you to use it for your next home. This is based on the Orchard offer. When you use it you will sign an interest free 2nd note on your home for that amount. Orchard will use a portion of it to pay the downpayment AND to fund the home payments on your existing home. You may have other options but this is what we did. This was a tad confusing at first. So for example: You owe 200K on a mortgage. Orchard's guaranteed offer is 300K. You will have part of that 100K "loan" for downpayment and 4 months of Mortgage payments (and fees). In going this route you do pay an additional 1.9% fee. So plan for 7.9% to be taken from the final sales figures. When you close on your new house you must be 100% out of the old home, but still maintain utilities, yard etc. The home is then placed on the market at a mutually acceptable price. You have 120 days to sell, at which the pricing folks will recommend changes if it remains on the market, if it doesn't you will get the original lowball offer. Think of it as a worst case. Also, although we have not yet reached 6 months to test, we are told we can refinance with only a filing fee as we used Orchard Mortgage. Their promise is you can do this every 6 months as we bought when rates were horrible. I will update this when we try this in November.
We have a lot of dogs which made selling the home we were living in extremely difficult. We wanted out but felt trapped. Orchard worked for us. It cost a bit more but made it possible for us. Our Agent, Susan Glynn, was great. She was responsive, helpful, and went above and beyond to help us. Plus we actually liked her as a person. As an agent, she is extremely thoughtful and genuinely cares.
If you go into the process and build your expectations around the worst case scenario you will likely be happy. We didn't sell for what we hoped, but the market hit a patch at a bad time for us. That said we were above the Orchard offer. We love our new place, and never would have done it without this program.

"Everyone at Orchard is fantastic"

Everyone at Orchard is fantastic, they made the process of selling my home a pleasant and uncomplicated experience!!

"Great experience "

Melinda was such a wonderful, caring and knowledgeable agent helping us thru the whole process. The orchard team was great and made everything easy for selling our home. We would definitely use them again!

"Orchard will not work with you if you…"

Orchard will not work with you if you are the agent and owner. When we offered to give up not representing ourselves they said they don’t work with other agents. Very misleading and disappointing.

"Great company"

Great company, great standards, and excellent quality when it comes to real estate agents and company policies. Outstanding!

"No Call / No Show "

I reached out to the company and setup an appointment for an in home consultation. Received an email notification regarding the scheduled appointment. I took time off of work to meet the agent at my house however the agent did not show up, answer or return calls. The agent ended up canceling the appointment 30 minutes after the scheduled time which indicates the agent was aware they did not show up to the appointment. This company will only waste your time.
