How Doorifi Helped a Couple of Snowbirds Fly

From Vacation Getaway to Forever Home

3 Beds / 2.5 Baths – 2,274 ft²

For Deanne Gosse and her husband, their first New Jersey home was meant to be a cozy vacation escape from the cold winters up north. But when Deanne earned a new position that allowed her to live and work in Monmouth County full time, they realized the small bungalow wasn’t right for everyday life — especially with a long commute to her new job.

Selling the traditional way would have meant packing everything into storage, staging the house, and tackling landscaping projects. Instead, they chose Doorifi — skipping showings, staging, and endless prep. The flexible timeline gave them room to arrange financing for their next home without the stress of rushing.

“The convenience of selling the house on our own timeframe without having to clean, stage, and show it — I think that was the biggest advantage,” Deanne shared.

Once the sale was complete, Deanne and her husband searched on Doorifi and quickly found the perfect place in Monmouth County. With the help of Ali Young, their Doorifi Home Advisor, they made an offer and closed in just one day.

For Deanne, the process turned what could have been a stressful transition into a smooth, exciting step forward — giving them the freedom to focus on their new life in a home that truly fits.
