The open house sign-in sheet template that actually produces leads
Most sign-in sheets ask for a name and maybe an email — and produce a page of half-filled rows. Here's every field a sign-in sheet should capture, why each one matters, and the digital shortcut that makes the whole template fill itself in.
The template
7 fields every open house sign-in sheet needs
Build your sheet with these — in this order. The first three are non-negotiable; the last four are what separate a guest log from a lead machine.
Full name
The minimum — but useless alone if the contact fields below are blank.
Email address
Your follow-up channel and your drip-campaign key. One wrong character and the lead is gone.
Phone number
Same-day follow-up converts at the highest rate — a text beats an email after a busy weekend.
Working with an agent?
Tells you instantly whether this is a prospect or a courtesy chat.
How are you paying?
Pre-approved / cash / not yet pre-approved — your urgency ranking, answered in one tap.
Buying timeframe
0–3 months, 3–6, 6+ — sorts tonight's calls from next quarter's drip list.
Do you have a home to sell?
The hidden listing-lead question most sheets never ask. Collect the address if yes.
Header tip: print the property address, date, and your name/brokerage at the top of every page — sellers often ask for the visitor log, and you want your branding on the copy they keep.

The catch
A great paper template still has paper problems
Even the perfect column layout can't fix what paper fundamentally can't do:
- It can't require a field — visitors skip whatever they like.
- It can't validate an email or format a phone number.
- It can't keep earlier visitors' info private from the next person in line.
- Seven columns of handwriting on one row is a legibility disaster.
- Every sheet still needs to be typed into your CRM by hand.
Open House Console asks all 7 questions automatically — and the answers type themselves into your dashboard.

Why we built it
Built by a working agent, for working agents
“Built by a working Realtor who got tired of losing leads to bad handwriting.”
Open House Console is the tool I wanted at my own open houses: a clean, professional sign-in that captures every visitor accurately and drops them straight into a dashboard I can follow up from the same day.

FAQ
Common questions
What should an open house sign-in sheet include?+
At minimum: full name, email, and phone number — all three, or the lead is hard to work. Strong sheets also ask whether the visitor is working with an agent, how they're paying (pre-approved, cash, not yet), their buying timeframe, and whether they have a home to sell. Date and property address belong in the header.
Should I make contact fields required at an open house?+
Yes — politely. Signing in is a normal expectation at an open house (many sellers require a visitor log for security), and serious buyers don't object. The catch: a paper sheet can't actually require anything. Only a digital sign-in can validate that an email looks real and a phone number is complete.
Is there a free open house sign-in sheet?+
You can recreate the template on this page in any word processor in a few minutes — the fields listed here are everything you need. If you'd rather skip the data entry that follows every open house, Open House Console starts with a free 7-day trial: a branded kiosk + QR sign-in where visitors type their own info straight into your dashboard.
How many sign-in lines fit on one printed page?+
With name, email, phone, and two or three qualifying columns, about 8–10 rows fit legibly on a letter-size landscape page. A busy open house needs several copies — and the more columns you add, the smaller and messier the handwriting gets. That trade-off is exactly why most active agents end up switching to digital sign-in.
