Homebuying Fintech Orchard Expands to Atlanta and Denver

Feb 11, 2020

Orchard, a New York City-based fintech focused on the homebuying, has expanded its presence into the Atlanta and Denver markets.

According to the company, the market expansion follows its recent $36 million Series B funding.

The company, which was founded in 2017 as Perch, also operates in Texas’ Austin, Dallas-Fort Worth and San Antonio markets.

“Atlanta and Denver are extremely competitive home buying markets,” said Court Cunningham, co-founder and CEO of Orchard. “As the demand for homes outpaces inventory, Orchard is helping buyers stand out by enabling them to make a cash offer on their new home before selling their current home. We're thrilled to bring Orchard to Atlanta and Denver as a new way to navigate the home buying landscape. This makes it possible for people in these markets to buy their dream homes, while getting top dollar for their current home.”
