Orchard

A residential real-estate brokerage built around a "buy before you sell" model. It advances a homeowner the equity in their current home so they can make a non-contingent offer on the next one, then its own agents sell the old home afterward — folding brokerage and bridge financing into one platform.

They primarily sell to Asset Owners/Investors with a promise to improve outcomes on speed of delivery and $$$.

It touches one phase of the supply chain with a product that is moderately digital.

If this works, it will disrupt Real Estate Services and Financial Services.
