Open house sign-in without a clipboard
A paper sign-in sheet gives you half-legible names, phone numbers with a digit missing, and a page that ends up in the car door. Signing in on a phone fixes most of that.
Let them use their own phone
Put a sign-in poster with a QR code by the door. Visitors scan it and type their own details, so spelling and numbers are right, and nobody has to touch a shared pen. Keep a tablet in kiosk mode on the counter for anyone who'd rather not use their phone.
Ask only what you need
- Name
- Phone or email (one is enough)
- Are you working with an agent? This matters for how you follow up.
- A tick box to say they're happy to hear from you
Each extra question means fewer people finish. Timelines and budgets can wait for the follow-up conversation.
Record consent
If someone says they're working with another agent, or doesn't tick the box, note it and respect it. A record of who agreed to hear from you, and when, protects you and keeps your list clean.
Follow up the next morning
Send a short thank-you the morning after, while the home is still fresh in their mind. Mention one detail of the house, and offer a second look or answers to questions.
Stay safe
- Tell someone where you are and when the open house ends.
- Keep your phone charged and on you.
- Walk the home and check the exits before the first visitor arrives.
How Mullion handles it
Create the open house in your Desk and print its sign-in poster, or switch on tablet mode. Visitors sign in on their own phone with a consent box. Sign-ins land in your Leads inbox, marked as open house. The next morning you get a recap email with everyone who came, and the reply templates include one for after an open house.
