How Andrew Comeens went from zero rentals to confident growth with DoorLoop

Starting a business with the right tools in hand

Andrew Comeens had a problem most entrepreneurs would envy: too much business to refer away. His real estate clients kept asking for property management recommendations, and he kept sending them elsewhere. That is, until he started doing it himself.

Before DoorLoop, Andrew was cobbling together a hodgepodge of different tools. Applicants had to be manually emailed separately. Payment processors kept the application fees. Records lived scattered across Google Sheets and Excel. Finding previous applications meant backtracking through everything.

"It is kind of like your room is a mess all the time. You go to find something and you've got to backtrack to find a previous application, to see that money's been paid, or to manually track everything that you've done."

Andrew needed more than software. He needed a foundation that could scale from zero to something significant without creating chaos.

Three months of research, one clear winner

Andrew doesn't make decisions quickly. Finding the right office chairs took three months. Choosing property management software? Just as methodical.

He researched multiple options, read countless reviews, and talked to salespeople from every company. DoorLoop consistently appeared as the highest-rated, especially among Florida property managers. When the sales representative pitched him at the turn of the year, something clicked.

Some promised features weren't immediately available. Thanks to DoorLoop's best-in-class support, the account manager went back to executives and made it right. Every step of the way, they delivered.

From zero units to fearless growth

Andrew signed up with DoorLoop when he had zero managed rentals. Within months, he had two units and the confidence to pursue landlords with 10 to 15 properties.

"Taking on DoorLoop as our property management software has given us the confidence and the pipeline to be able to pursue some more clients, go after those bigger landlords and grow our portfolio this next year."

Everything changed. Applications, reviews, tenant notifications, landlord payments—all streamlined. Bank reconciliation became simple. No accountant needed for the ledger. Two clicks to find exactly what you need.

The anxiety about scaling? Completely gone.

"I could just not have been more pleased. In fact, if I wasn't in competition with the neighboring property management companies, I would pitch DoorLoop to them as well."
