Plan, run & follow up on an open house — with a same-day lead follow-up countdown so you never drop a lead.
The Copy and Reset buttons are screen-only — they won't appear in your downloaded or printed checklist.
This free open house checklist turns a date, an address, and a few details into a complete, gated plan for real estate agents — covering everything new agents forget: confirming the listing is live on the MLS and marketing is published, directional signage, a sign-in / lead-capture sheet, seller deep-clean and declutter reminders, securing valuables and medications, a safety protocol, refreshments, and — the step most agents drop — timely lead follow-up. It computes how many signs, sign-in rows, and flyers to bring, builds a backward-counting prep timeline, and once your event ends it turns into a live follow-up countdown. Everything runs privately in your browser; sign in to a free account to download the printable checklist and sign-in sheet.
A solo agent hosts Saturday 12:00–3:00 PM at a seller-occupied home, 3 road approaches, 15 expected, both paper + QR, same-day follow-up:

This is an organizational checklist and reminder timer, not legal, safety, or financial advice. The sign-count, sign-in-row, flyer, and attendance numbers are planning heuristics with built-in buffers (counts round up so you never run short), not guarantees. Fair Housing and agency-disclosure requirements vary by state and brokerage — the tool prompts you to present disclosures but does not provide compliant disclosure text; use your brokerage's approved forms. Sign placement is subject to local ordinances and HOA rules; the recommended sign count is a coverage heuristic — verify you may legally place a sign at each intersection. If you capture phone numbers for texting, get consent (TCPA); the tool reminds you but does not manage compliance. Securing prescription medications and valuables reflects NAR/insurer guidance (meds are among the most commonly stolen items) and reduces but does not eliminate theft risk.
The follow-up speed statistics cited here — within 1 hour ≈ 7× more likely to have a meaningful conversation; within 5 minutes ≈ 21× more likely to convert vs. 30+ minutes; roughly 79% of open-house visitors never get a follow-up — are widely cited industry figures (NAR-attributed and lead-response research). Treat them as directional benchmarks, not promises of a specific conversion rate; reported open-house conversion runs about 5–7%. The tool assumes a single local timezone (the property's) — it does not convert across time zones.
All inputs, your checklist state, and any sign-in data stay in your browser (localStorage). Nothing is transmitted; clearing browser data erases it — print or export before you close. Sources include NAR Open Houses guidance, HousingWire, RLTR Sync, McKissock, Travelers and Redfin safety guidance, HomeLight on open-house signs, and Inman's 2025 open-house playbook. Not a substitute for your brokerage's policies or local law.
Same day at the latest, ideally within the first hour. Widely cited research finds leads contacted within an hour are ~7× more likely to have a meaningful conversation, and within 5 minutes ~21× more likely to convert than after 30+ minutes. About 79% of open-house visitors never get any follow-up — the most-dropped step. This tool makes the follow-up deadline the headline once your event ends, with a live countdown.
One directional sign per road approach or key intersection you map, plus one yard sign at the property and one spare: signs = approaches + 2, minimum 2. With the default 3 approaches that's 5. Map every turn from the nearest main road. Placement is subject to local ordinances and HOA rules — verify you can legally place a sign at each spot.
Confirming the listing is actually live on the MLS and your marketing is published (an unlisted-but-open house wastes the traffic), and same-day follow-up with every lead. The tool gates "READY" on a critical set so a high completion percentage alone never reads as ready.
Readiness is gated on critical tasks, not the raw percentage. Until every critical box is checked the headline stays NOT READY even at 90% done. Critical tasks include MLS/marketing live, a working sign-in/QR, ≥1 directional sign, the full security set when seller-occupied (meds, valuables, sensitive documents & firearms), a safety check-in when hosting solo, and a captured/scheduled follow-up.
NAR's standard is to work with a buddy. If you mark no co-host, the tool escalates safety to critical: arrange a scheduled office check-in, ask visitors for ID, never share lockbox codes, keep your phone on you, limit occupancy, and don't get cornered. This is organizational guidance, not professional safety advice.
Yes — inputs and every checked box are stored only in your browser, so you can return where you left off. Nothing you enter — address, price, or sign-in data — is transmitted or stored on a server. Clearing browser data erases it, so print/export before closing.
Your checklist, address, and any sign-in data are built in your browser and saved only there. We don't store or sell your data.
