When does my membership unlock?
By email, within 24–48 hours. We open your door manually until member rooms and auto-unlock are built.
Welcome, neighbour
You’re in. Softly.
Thank you for trusting The Estate with a little of your attention — and, if you paid, with a little of your money. We open paid doors by hand for now. Nothing here rushes you.
If you just paid
Stripe will send a receipt to the email you used at checkout. Within 24–48 hours, Carl or Rene will write from The Estate with your next steps — Ripple Method access for Residents and Keyholders, or your PDF for a book. There is no automatic unlock on the site yet. That is honest, not a delay dressed as mystery.
While you wait
The Neighbour doors are open now — no key, no account:
- Today — a morning question, a story, one small action

- Book welcome — after a digital book purchase
A few short answers
