Your Step-by-Step Guide to Buying a Home With Doorly

Overview

Doorly makes homeownership possible through a unique process where you shop for homes directly inside the Doorly app, Doorly purchases the home in cash, and then completes a same-day resale to you using our Ability-First Mortgage (AFM).

Here’s your journey from start to homeownership.


Step 1: Pre-Qualify Online

Answer a few questions so we can confirm whether Doorly may be a fit for you.
Takes about 3 minutes.


Step 2: Create Your Account & Complete Your Application

You’ll upload your documents, verify income, and complete your profile.
Doorly reviews your real ability to repay — not just your credit score.


Step 3: Get Approved

You’ll receive:

  • Your maximum home price

  • Required down payment

  • Estimated monthly payment

  • Approved locations


Step 4: Shop for Homes Directly in the Doorly App

Once approved, you’ll get access to Doorly’s home search experience:

  • Browse properties

  • Filter by price, location, size, features

  • Save homes to your Favorites

  • Request tours

  • Ask Doorly to prepare an offer

Doorly’s internal real estate team supports you through the full search and selection process.


Step 5: Tour Homes With Doorly

Doorly schedules and hosts your showings.
You’ll receive appointment confirmations and notes directly inside the app.


Step 6: Doorly Makes a Cash Offer

When you’re ready to move forward:

  1. You tap “Request an Offer” in the app.

  2. Doorly evaluates the property quickly.

  3. Our team prepares and submits a cash offer on your behalf.

Doorly is the buyer — which gives your offer stronger positioning with sellers.


Step 7: Same-Day Resale to You

On closing day, Doorly purchases the home first, then immediately resells it to you with your AFM mortgage.
You walk away the legal homeowner the same day.


Step 8: Move In as the Owner

You receive your keys at closing.
Your mortgage payments begin the following month.
