Lennar + Doorify: Delivering a hassle-free home upgrade for one Sacramento couple.

Sold their home to Doorifi in Colts Neck, NJ 07722

Like many retirees, Anne and Jim Nash were ready to embark on a new adventure. They wanted to make the most of their hard-earned leisure time and create new memories. There was just one problem.

The upkeep of the Colts Neck home where they had lived and raised their family for 41 years was getting in the way of their plans. While they still felt young at heart, they realized that the maintenance of their landscaped ⅓ acre backyard and pool was becoming physically taxing for the pair.

Then, one day, Anne had an epiphany. “We need to move while we can still enjoy where we move,” she thought. Jim agreed.

Discovering Doorifi

Anne and Jim started their search by looking at traditional single-story, single-family homes until, one day, Anne stumbled upon a story about Doorifi. The company, which prides itself on building communities – not just homes – seemed like a perfect fit for the kind of retirement they envisioned.

“I love the feel of the community.”

The fact that the new community would only mean a move across Monmouth County caught their attention. After so many years there, the Nashes had, understandably, grown very fond of the area and liked the idea of continuing to call the neighborhood home.

They decided to do a little research. “The more we learned about Doorifi,” Anne explained, “it was like, ‘Okay, this is a company that we would like to do business with because they have the same philosophy.’”

After viewing a newly finished model home, they were sold. All that was left to do was sell.

Out with the Old, In with the New

Initially, they planned to sell their current home after they closed on and moved into their new one, as the buy-a-new-home-while-selling-the-old-one process seemed way too daunting.

As time went on, however, they changed their minds. Anne and Jim began to worry about what waiting to list their home could mean in a cooling market.

One day, while they were at the Doorifi Welcome Center, Anne had another realization. “You know,” she told their consultant, “I’m really starting to get stressed out thinking about putting the home on the market.”

For Anne, who serves on the board of a non-profit, the idea of adding tasks like marketing and staging their old home to her already full plate was not a welcome one. She recalls telling their consultant, “I don’t want the stress factor of having to deal with all the stuff that goes with that while I’m trying to get this house put together.”

To her surprise, their consultant let them in on a little secret: they didn’t have to.

Enter Doorifi Direct Buy

It was then that Anne and Jim learned about Doorifi’s Direct Buy program, which would allow them to avoid all the stress of dealing with the open market and focus on getting settled into their new home.

The process was simple: they entered some key details, received a free offer in less than 24 hours, scheduled their home assessment, and selected their own closing timeline for a smooth transition.

“Once we got the offer back and we looked at it, I’m going ‘It sounds really good,’” Anne said. While the offer seemed “exceedingly fair” to them, they still checked with their financial planner and a few agents. With everyone’s approval, they decided to take the plunge.

“Even the Closing Was a Piece of Cake”

Now that the Nashes are comfortably settled in their brand new Doorifi home, they can’t help but reflect on the process that Anne describes as a “walk in the park.”

“It’s probably one of the easiest transactions I’ve ever been through from start to finish,” she said. “Even the closing was a piece of cake.”

It wasn’t just the simplicity of the process that the Nashes appreciated. They admitted they were surprised with the level of service they received and felt Doorifi went above and beyond.

As someone who worked as a banking manager for many years, Anne was particularly impressed.

“I know how important it is to provide that level of service to people to where they feel like they’re being taken care of,” she explained. “That is how we have felt with Doorifi.”

She adds, “It’s like you meet these people, and you feel so comfortable with them.”
