“Before DoorLoop, we were stuck with spreadsheets and limited tools. Now we can send mass tenant communications, run reports easily, and actually feel supported even with a smaller portfolio.”

Tell us about yourself:

I'm Dana curry. I am a licensed real estate agent. I own DJ property management in Everett, Washington. I recently came off of two years traveling full-time RV with my husband. So we were looking for a business to get into. And this one just kind of opened up

How many units do you currently manage?

Picking up from what my husband's uncle has built, so they currently manage just over 70-some properties, we'll be looking to bring those on into our portfolio. Right now we have 23 apartment units that we manage, I have an HOA of 10 condos. And then we also have our own investment property that we manage through DoorLoop. So our office is very small. It's just like three of us, and two of us are licensed agents to actually do the work.

How did you do things before DoorLoop?

My husband's uncle, they did spreadsheets and they were bigger, they used Yardi, but was not using that at the time that we came in.

How has DoorLoop helped automate your business?

We took over three buildings in Seattle for a total of 23 units, and living in Everett, which is a little bit removed, it was "how are we going to be able to communicate with the new tenants?" We checked into Yardi, we checked into Rent Ready, we checked into all of the other ones, but DoorLoop was the one that from a price point, from fluidity, the reporting components, all of that, it just made the most sense.

What is your favorite DoorLoop feature?

Being able to send out mass communications is very helpful, you know, the reporting capabilities and my constant build-out of those. Anytime I've had a suggestion for something. Next thing I know it's you know, in the next rollout so I'm just a DoorLoop fan all the way around. 

Would you recommend DoorLoop to other property managers?

You know, the customer service aspect is huge. I know, you know, it's a newer company, but I don't feel like as you guys are growing, that we're losing anything as far as that and a quick response and and overall helpfulness. And I know I wouldn't have received the same support that I did from DoorLoop. So we were kind of ignored by some competition because you know, we didn't have to 200 and some units or whatever. So I definitely recommend it. It's the most fluid and convenient.

‍

The Problem

Dana is a licensed real estate agent who recently transitioned into property management after two years of full-time RV travel. She and her husband took over a long-running family portfolio in Everett, Washington—previously managed using spreadsheets and older systems like Yardi.

They inherited 70+ properties, though they began by managing 23 apartment units, an HOA of 10 condos, and their own investment property. But with only a three-person office, and living outside Seattle, Dana faced immediate challenges:

Key challenges:

• Needed to remotely manage newly inherited buildings in Seattle from Everett
• Previous systems were outdated—spreadsheets and unused Yardi accounts
• Competing software options felt expensive, rigid, or not built for small teams
• Concerned about how to communicate quickly with new tenants
• Needed automation, reporting, and onboarding support for a growing portfolio
• Worried competitors would ignore small operators with fewer than 200 units
• Sought a solution that could grow alongside the business

The Solution

Dana evaluated multiple major property management platforms—Yardi, Rent Ready, and others. But only DoorLoop delivered the right balance of pricing, usability, powerful reporting, and customer support.

DoorLoop immediately became the operational backbone for communicating with tenants, managing rent, organizing records, and preparing the business to scale as they onboard the remaining 70+ properties under her husband’s family portfolio.

How DoorLoop helped:

• Provided the best price point with the most intuitive interface
• Made communication easy with mass announcements to all tenants
• Offered customizable, evolving reports—often implementing her suggestions
• Delivered exceptional customer service with fast, reliable support
• Treated her like a valued customer despite being a smaller portfolio
• Centralized her apartments, HOA, and investment property in one platform
• Enabled remote management from Everett for buildings located in Seattle
• Allowed a tiny 3-person team to stay organized and efficient

Dana quickly realized she found not just a software, but a partner that listens, innovates, and supports small operators at the same level as large ones.

The Outcome

DoorLoop transformed how Dana manages her portfolio—giving her confidence, clarity, and efficiency across all properties.

Results:

• Seamless remote management of all Seattle properties
• Faster communication and improved tenant relationships
• Reporting that continually improves with each product release
• Support that feels personal, responsive, and dedicated
• A modern, fluid system that keeps her small team highly productive
• A platform she wholeheartedly recommends as “the most fluid and convenient”
• Confidence to onboard the full 70+ properties into her growing business

Today, Dana is a DoorLoop fan all the way around—grateful that as DoorLoop grows, the service quality hasn’t changed and the product only gets better.

The Problem

Primarily for enterprise portfolios

Before DoorLoop, Rebecca managed 130+ properties with pencil, paper, and spreadsheets. Tracking leases, rent payments, and expenses manually was disorganized and time-consuming.

Tax season stress

Preparing reports required hours of sorting bills, recreating spreadsheets, and reconciling data by hand.

Lack of organization

Managing such a large portfolio without dedicated software left her constantly worried about missing important details or losing track of tenant payments.
