Open house sign-in sheet
Name, email, phone and how they heard about it, with the address on top. Print it or save a PDF.
What to include on an open house sign-in sheet
The address and the date go at the top, then a line for each visitor. It’s landscape so long email addresses fit.
- Name. First and last. “Mike” isn’t much to follow up on.
- Email. The column you’ll actually use afterward, so it gets the most room.
- Phone. Some people skip it, and that’s fine. Rename the heading to “Phone (optional)” if you don’t want anyone to feel pushed.
- How did you hear? A sign, a listing site, a neighbor. After a few open houses you’ll know which one is worth paying for.
- Working with an agent? Not on the sheet to start with. Add it if you want to know before you follow up.
Tips for an open house sign-in sheet that works
-
Put the sheet right inside the front door. People sign on the way in. On the way out they’re already thinking about the next house.
-
Leave two pens. Couples come together, and the first pen always ends up in someone’s pocket.
-
Swap in a fresh page when one fills up. Every new visitor can read the emails and numbers above theirs. Put the full page away.
-
Type it up that evening, while you can still match a messy email to a face.

Or skip the paper
If you’d rather not retype a page of handwriting, Im Here! can take the names instead. You open a room and put the QR code by the door. Visitors scan it and type their own name, and the list is ready to copy or download when you lock up. It’s free, and visitors don’t need an account.
It takes a name from each person, so for emails and phone numbers, the printed sheet does more.
