Everything SWFL landlords want to know before getting started with DoorKnockers.
General
DoorKnockers is an AI-powered property management platform for landlords in Southwest Florida. Instead of managing every tenant message, maintenance call, and rent follow-up yourself, DoorKnockers handles it — triaging issues, dispatching vetted vendors, and keeping you in the loop without doing the work.
We cover five counties across Southwest Florida: Hillsborough, Lee, Charlotte, Collier, and Sarasota — that's Tampa down to Naples. We maintain a vetted vendor directory specific to each county so the right contractor is always within range.
Four tiers based on your portfolio size: Starter at $99/month for up to 10 units, Growth at $179/month for 11–50 units, Pro at $249/month for 51–100 units, and Enterprise at custom pricing for 100+ units — contact us for a quote. No setup fees, no per-unit charges, no contracts.
Yes — 14 days, full access to your selected tier. If it’s not working for you, cancel before day 14 and you owe nothing. No surprise charges.
Yes. DoorKnockers is month-to-month with no annual contracts and no cancellation fees. Cancel from your account dashboard at any time. Your data is retained for 30 days after cancellation if you change your mind.
Yes — Enterprise. Custom pricing, the same full-feature platform, no per-unit fees. Contact us for a quote.
Properties & Tenants
Property setup is in your landlord dashboard. Add units, tenant contacts, lease dates, and county info through a simple form — takes about 15 minutes for a typical portfolio.
Single-family homes, multi-family buildings, and condos across all five SWFL counties (Hillsborough, Lee, Charlotte, Collier, and Sarasota). No property type restrictions.
Yes. DoorKnockers automatically sends renewal reminder notifications at 60, 30, and 14 days before each lease expiration. Lease dates are tracked per tenant in your dashboard — you're never caught off guard by an expiring lease.
Tenants use a dedicated tenant portal to submit maintenance requests, payment confirmations, and general questions — no phone tag, no lost emails. Every submission gets triaged by DoorKnockers AI and routed appropriately.
Always. You have final say over every vendor decision. DoorKnockers recommends based on your preferences, county coverage, and the urgency of the issue — but you can override, swap, or decline any dispatch through your dashboard.
For health and safety issues (gas, water, HVAC in summer, electrical), DoorKnockers auto-dispatches from the vetted local directory immediately and notifies you at the same time — no waiting for your approval on critical issues.
Payments & Billing
After your 14-day free trial. You'll enter payment details before trial end if you want to continue — we don't charge anything until the trial closes. After 14 days, you'll be asked to subscribe to continue. If you decide not to subscribe, your account is paused — reactivate anytime without losing your data.
If you haven't added a payment method, your account is paused and you'll see a prompt to subscribe. No surprise charges. Your properties, tenants, and data are all preserved — pick back up whenever you're ready.
Yes. Tenants pay online via Stripe directly from their tenant portal. You'll be notified when a payment comes in.
No Stripe account is required to get started. DoorKnockers handles the payment flow out of the box — tenants pay through their portal and you get notified. If you prefer rent deposited directly into your own Stripe account, you can connect one from your dashboard at any time.
Getting Started
Signup takes about 2 minutes. Adding properties and tenant contacts takes another 10–15 minutes through the landlord dashboard. You can start before all units are entered — DoorKnockers handles what you add when you add it.
Data & Security
Your data is stored in an encrypted cloud database (Neon PostgreSQL). DoorKnockers does not sell, share, or use your property or tenant data for any purpose outside the platform. You own your data and can export or delete it at any time by contacting support.
