Every document, signature and deadline, filed from your inbox on its own.
A chief of staff keeping your week, your clients and your deals moving.
Your email, your apps, your brokerage and the whole market, wired in and filed to the right deal on their own. Nothing to copy, nothing to chase, nothing living in two places.
Your emailEvery thread on a deal, filed to it.
Your appsForms, files and signatures, as they happen.The research desk every top agent wishes they had. Ask in plain words and get the buyers, the owners and the comps back in seconds, with the way in to each and every answer sourced to the deed, the closing or the article.
Three buyers. Two of them are one introduction away.

Every great sale starts with knowing who will buy. Doorbell finds them, and your way to them.
Enter an address. Doorbell reads every sale and deed around it to name who is most likely to buy: who bought homes like it at that price, who owns next door, who the press says is looking, and which of your brokerage’s clients fit.
Bring the seller what no other agent will: where the house should list, what sold around it, and the buyers at that price, counted. A report they keep, in your name or your brokerage’s.
Colleagues, past clients and the agents across the table, mapped, so every lead arrives with a way in. And a profile of your closings and selected sales, to send before the first call.
With the buyer in sight, the work that sells the house and closes the deal, handled.
One listing, the whole launch: the private listing page, the brochure, letters to the neighbors, and a note to every agent whose clients fit. Drafted for you, sent when you say.
Every deal on one timeline: contingencies, deadlines, documents, and who owes what by when. Forms from zipForm and SkySlope and the threads in your Gmail file themselves to the deal they belong to.
Sale price to take-home, before you sign: listing and buyer side, splits, caps, referrals and fees, then federal, self-employment and California tax on top of the year you have had.
Reports, brochures, listing pages and your profile go out in your own name, or on your brokerage’s letterhead, in its colors and its type. The same work, dressed for whoever signs it.
Doorbell is built by agents and the people beside them, for the way the top of the market really works.
Chief Executive Officer
Phil develops trophy homes in Brentwood and the Hollywood Hills through Colossal, among them a Tigertail Road estate with the first residential work by Beeple. A philosopher by training, with a Ph.D. from Boston College, he leads Doorbell as Chief Executive Officer with the same exacting standard he brings to every house he builds.
Chief Marketing Officer
Ed co-founded Carolwood Estates in 2022 after years leading marketing at Hilton & Hyland. His campaigns for some of the most expensive homes in the country have run in The Wall Street Journal, Architectural Digest and the Robb Report. As Chief Marketing Officer, he shapes the Doorbell brand and how it reaches the agents it was built for.
Chief Strategy Officer
David has closed more than $6 billion in sales, including The Manor at $120 million, a California record, and spent seven seasons on Bravo’s Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles. As Chief Strategy Officer, he sets what Doorbell builds and for whom, drawing on a career spent at the very top of the market.
Doorbell is in pilot now at Carolwood Estates in Los Angeles, on live listings and real deals. Next, we are opening it to a small number of forward-thinking agents and brokerages who want to change how real estate is transacted. If that is you, we would like to meet you.
