A close call: How Dori Brown saved her closing with Doorifi

With just four days left before closing, Dori Brown thought everything was under control. She had chosen her lender, found the perfect real estate agent, and even secured a home in her son’s school district. Then, the unexpected happened.

“Four days before closing, I found out my lender was completely out of the loop. I had to switch lenders—just days before I was supposed to get the keys.”

The news was a shock. Dori had assumed her lender and agent were in constant communication. Now, she was facing the possibility of losing the home and having to start her search from scratch.

She managed to find a new lender, but there was a big catch: she needed to sell her current home first. Dori had lived in her Long Branch, NJ 07740 house for over 20 years. Selling wasn’t part of the original plan, but now it had to happen quickly.

Discovering Doorifi

At that critical moment, Dori received a letter from Doorifi. The timing couldn’t have been better. Even under pressure, she researched her options—calling Doorifi and two competitors. The choice was clear.

“After comparing, I just felt more confident with Doorifi. Honestly, it felt like a blessing at the time.”

Letting Go of a Home Full of Memories

This wasn’t just a property—it was the place where Dori had built her life. She bought her first computer here, got her first dog, and raised her son.

“That was my son’s first home. As a single parent, giving your child stability means everything.”

After 23 years, the home was full of possessions. Clearing it out, renting storage, and staging for showings was unrealistic with such a tight deadline.

She also worried about long waits—some homes in her area had been on the market for over 200 days.

A Faster, Simpler Way to Sell

With Doorifi, there was no need to list the property, hold endless showings, or spend on staging. She could even adjust her closing date and rent the home back temporarily while finalizing her new purchase.

The process was transparent from the start, with clear repair estimates and a detailed home assessment.

“Doorifi brought in HVAC, pest control, roofing, and general inspection experts. They showed real care and understanding—because selling your home is emotional.”

Best of all, the sale closed in time to satisfy her new lender and secure the home she wanted.

“They bought at market value. It never felt like they were trying to take advantage of me.”

Support That Makes a Difference

Throughout the process, her Doorifi Home Advisor, Katie, was there every step of the way.

“I was under so much stress, but every time I called or emailed her, I felt relief. She was always quick to respond and genuinely kind.”

Now, with her new home secured, Dori is ready for what’s next.

“I’m excited about this new chapter—turning it into a home.”
