Open house feedback form generator
Build a printable open house feedback form with your name, brokerage, and property on it. Pick the questions that matter to your seller, then print or save as PDF. Free, no signup.
1. Whose house, and whose form
This is the header of the printed page. It is also what stops three sheets from three houses becoming one unsortable pile on Monday.
2. Your color
Used for the band across the top, the header rule, and the question numbers. It is decoration only, so the sheet reads exactly the same out of a black and white printer.
3. The questions
Ticked to start: the five a seller actually asks about on Monday. Every question you add takes writing room from the ones that matter, so add the ones you will act on and leave the rest.
Your own questions
Room for two, for something specific to this house. A converted garage, a shared driveway, the room with no closet. Keep them about the property, not about the street or the people on it.
Prints one letter-size page. In the print dialog, choose Save as PDF instead of a printer to get a file. Print ten or fifteen and put them on the entry table with a cup of pens.
8 questions, sized to fill one page. Add or remove any and the sheet resizes itself to stay on a single sheet of paper.
Your form
One letter-size page, updating as you type. This is exactly what comes out of the printer.

What belongs on a feedback form, and what does not
A feedback form has one job: tell the seller something true about their house that you could not have told them yourself. Everything that serves that belongs on the page. Everything that does not is either wasted space or, in a few specific cases, a written record you would rather not have. Here is where the line sits.
Worth asking
- The price, against what else they have seen
- This is the only question a seller cannot wave away. One visitor's opinion is nothing. Six sheets in a row saying the price is a little high is a conversation you can have on Monday with something in your hand.
- The condition, separately from the price
- Ask about updates and repairs on their own line. A house can be priced wrong, presented wrong, or both, and those are fixed in completely different ways. Merged into one question you cannot tell them apart.
- The layout and the flow
- Floor plan complaints repeat in a way that taste does not. When four people write the same sentence about the kitchen or the third bedroom, that is the thing to stage around, disclose early, or price for.
- Whether they would consider an offer
- The nearest thing to a buying signal you will get on a Saturday. The visitors who tick Maybe are the ones worth calling first, ahead of the ones who ticked Yes and were being polite.
- How they found the open house
- The one question on the sheet that is about your marketing rather than the house. It is how you learn whether the yard sign, the listing photos, or the post is what actually put people in the door.
- One open box, in their own words
- Leave real writing room for what would you change. It is where the objection you will be answering for the rest of the listing usually shows up, phrased better than you would have phrased it.
Leave it off
- Anything about who lives in the neighborhood
- Do not ask visitors what they think of the area's people, the demographics, whether it 'fits' them, or what kind of family the street suits. The federal Fair Housing Act makes it unlawful to steer a buyer toward or away from a home based on race, color, religion, sex, disability, familial status, or national origin. A printed form inviting that commentary both encourages the answer and files a written record of it under your name.
- School ratings and whether the schools are good
- Two problems in one question. School quality is widely used as a stand-in for the demographics you must not steer on, and a rating is a third party's opinion you would be republishing as your own judgment. Name the district if a buyer asks and let them go and read about it themselves.
- Crime and whether the street feels safe
- Same proxy problem, plus you cannot verify a word of the answer, and you would be collecting an unverified claim about a specific street on a document your seller may well read.
- The seller's situation or why they are moving
- Nothing about motivation, divorce, a job move, or how quickly they need out. Answers to that question are your seller's negotiating position, written down on a sheet you are leaving on a table where anyone can read it.
- Income, financing details, or a pre-approval amount
- Even when the visitor volunteers it. A clipboard by the front door is not a place for someone's finances, and you do not need the number to make the follow-up call.
- More than about eight questions
- Not a rule so much as what actually happens. Long forms come back blank or ticked down the middle without being read. Short forms come back filled in. The extra question you squeeze in usually costs you the answers to the ones you cared about.
The test that covers most of it
Assume three people will read every sheet: your seller, the visitor's own agent, and eventually you, out loud, explaining why you asked. A question about the house survives all three. A question about the people on the street does not. That is why none of the built-in questions here mention the neighborhood, and why the two custom boxes say to keep them about the property.
This is general guidance for writing a form, not legal advice. Fair housing obligations come from federal law plus your own state rules and your brokerage's policy, and your broker or your attorney is the right person to check a form against all three.
How to use it
How to make a feedback form for your open house
About two minutes. The sheet is built in your browser as you type, and it resizes itself to stay on one page.
1Put the property on it
Address, date, your name, your brokerage. That header is the difference between a useful stack of sheets on Monday and three open houses worth of paper you can no longer tell apart. It also tells a visitor the form is yours and not a survey from nobody.
2Pick the questions you will actually act on
Price, layout, condition, whether they would consider an offer, and how they heard about the open house are ticked to start, because those are the five a seller asks about. Untick anything you do not need. Every question you add takes writing room from the ones that matter.
3Add a question of your own if this house has a quirk
There is room for two. A converted garage, a shared driveway, the bedroom with no closet: ask about the specific thing you expect to hear back, and you will find out whether it is really the problem you think it is. Keep them about the property.
4Set your color
The accent shows up as the band across the top, the header rule, and the question numbers. It is decoration only. Nothing on the sheet uses color to mean anything, so it reads the same out of a black and white office printer, which is what most of these get printed on.
5Print it, or save it as a PDF
The print button opens your browser print dialog, where Save as PDF is one of the destinations. It is one letter page every time. Print ten or fifteen, put them on the entry table with a cup of pens, and hand them out rather than hoping people notice the stack.
This sheet collects feedback on paper, one clipboard at a time; Open House Console asks the same questions on screen during sign-in, so the answers arrive typed and already attached to the visitor who gave them.
FAQ
Common questions
How many questions should be on an open house feedback form?+
Five to eight. Long forms come back blank or ticked straight down the middle by someone who wanted to be polite and leave. Short ones come back filled in. If you are torn between two questions, keep the one whose answer would change what you do next week, and cut the one that is only interesting.
What should I not ask on a feedback form?+
Anything about who lives in the neighborhood, school ratings, or whether the street feels safe. The first is what the Fair Housing Act calls steering when it shapes where a buyer looks, and the other two are widely used as stand-ins for the same thing. Also leave off the seller's reasons for moving and the visitor's finances. The section above the FAQ goes through each one and why. None of the built-in questions here ask any of it.
Should I ask for their name and phone number on it?+
Only if you are not already running a sign-in sheet at the door, and even then think about it. Contact details belong on the sign-in, where a visitor expects to give them. An anonymous feedback form gets blunter answers, and blunt is the entire reason you handed one out. There is a checkbox for a contact line if you want it, and it is off by default.
Do visitors actually fill these out?+
Far more of them do when the form is one page, has a pen attached, and is handed to them at the door rather than left in a stack on the counter. Saying what it is for helps too. People will write something for a seller who wants to know what buyers think; almost nobody fills in a form that looks like it is collecting them.
What do I do with the answers on Monday?+
Look for the repeat, not the outlier. One person disliking the kitchen is taste. Four people writing the same sentence about the kitchen is the thing to stage around, disclose early, or price for. Put the count in front of your seller rather than your impression of the weekend, and the price conversation stops being your opinion against theirs.
Can I use it at a broker open?+
Yes, and it is often where the sheet earns its keep. Agents give sharper price feedback than the public does, because they have been in the four comparable houses that are actually competing with yours. Same form, same questions.
Will everything still fit on one page if I turn it all on?+
Yes. The sheet measures itself and steps down the type size, the spacing, and the number of writing lines as you add questions, so it is always exactly one letter page. Turn everything on and it will tell you the type has gotten small and suggest unticking a few, which is usually good advice.
Is it free, and do you keep what I type?+
Free, and no. The form is built by JavaScript on this page, in your browser. Nothing you type is sent to us, there is no account, no email box, and nothing to unsubscribe from later. Close the tab and it is gone.
