Orchard

Orchard is a real estate brokerage that helps homeowners sell and buy homes, with services such as Move First, which lets a seller move into a new home before listing the old one, and cash offers for sellers who want a faster sale. Its agents are licensed real estate agents who guide clients through each step, and the company says it has helped more than 10,000 customers sell their homes.

Orchard works in Atlanta, Austin, Dallas-Fort Worth, Denver, Houston, Nashville, Orlando, Phoenix, San Antonio, San Diego, Seattle and Tampa Bay, so it is not a fit for homes outside those markets. Sellers can request a free home valuation online, and the company's offices are listed at 195 Broadway in New York.
