How the Westergaards Made Their Dream Home a Reality with Doorifi

Keith Westergaard and his wife Erin loved their cozy home in Shrewsbury, NJ 07702, but with an active 5-year-old son, his ever-growing pile of toys, and two cats, the space was starting to feel cramped. They also wanted to make room for Keith’s mom, who was living in another home in Monmouth County, to move in with them.

While searching for their next place, the couple found a new construction builder offering homes with an in-law suite — complete with its own entrance, living area, and modern kitchenette.

“We thought it would be the perfect setup,” Keith said. But to make the move work, they needed to sell two homes: their current one and the house where Keith’s mom lived.

Weighing the Offer

Keith and Erin were fine with listing their own home, but they didn’t want to put his mom through the stress of frequent showings, keeping the house spotless, and working around a realtor’s schedule. Then Keith spotted something on the builder’s website — information about Doorifi, a company that could buy a home directly in a seamless, hassle-free transaction.

“I thought to myself, ‘this is a really interesting concept,’” Keith said. Curious, he entered the property details on Doorifi’s website to see the offer.

He also checked with another homebuying company in the area, but their offer came in at least $10,000 lower. That made the choice easier.

Keith and Erin moved forward with Doorifi’s offer. After a free home assessment and a request for just a few minor repairs, the deal was finalized.

“The Doorifi process certainly made the entire moving process go much more smoothly for us,” Keith said.

Compared to listing his other home, it was night and day. On that property, offers sometimes came in $20,000 below asking. With Doorifi, he felt the offer was fair and based on solid market data.

A Seamless Closing

Doorifi also “offered a very flexible timeline,” Keith said. He chose a 60-day close, which allowed them to transition without the moving and storage costs they’d faced with his other home.

Keith now encourages friends to request a Doorifi offer before listing. “You don’t have to make your house show-ready,” he said — a huge benefit for families with kids. Avoiding the constant cleaning and the disruption of showings was a major relief.

Making Their Dream a Reality

Thanks to the ease of their Doorifi sale, the Westergaards and Keith’s mom now share a new home in Shrewsbury Township. Keith and Erin enjoy their sprawling backyard, complete with plans for a pool and a covered patio. His mom feels right at home in her private 800-square-foot suite and loves being close enough to watch her grandson grow and share in all his milestones.

“The Doorifi process certainly made the entire moving process go much more smoothly for us,” Keith said.
