The startup, formerly Perch, is sprinting towards its goal of having a fully integrated home buying and selling platform, from title and mortgage services to its tech-focused real estate brokerage to a consumer search portal.
“Our view is that search is nowhere near a solved problem in the real estate space,” said Court Cunningham, CEO and founder of Orchard. “The insight is that when you watch people search, they look at every home coming on the market and when you ask why they aren’t using filters, they say they don’t want to miss anything. So we put some gradation on that search filter to give users much more relevant results and save them time.”
