Open home sign-in, without the book
Buyers sign themselves in on your iPad. You get a legible list of names and mobiles, already separated by property and by viewing — and the vendor gets their attendance report without you typing anything up.
One iPad. Your whole book.
You do not run one open home. You run four on a Saturday, in four houses, and the same tablet comes with you. So the property is something you choose at the front door — a tap and a PIN — not a separate app, a separate device or a separate sign-in sheet per listing.
The screen becomes that house: its photograph, its address, your agency's branding. Every buyer who signs in that afternoon is recorded against that property and that viewing, and when you move at one o'clock, so does the kiosk.
What the paper book costs you
How a Saturday goes
- 1 Add the property once Each listing is a location with its address and a photo. Do it when the listing goes live and it is there for the whole campaign.
- 2 Set the open home time One entry per viewing, so Saturday at eleven and Sunday at two are separate lists the vendor can be shown separately.
- 3 Stand the iPad up and pick the property A tap and your PIN at the front door. The screen becomes that property — its photo, its address — and stays that way until you move.
- 4 Buyers sign themselves in Name and mobile on a screen that clears after each one. You are talking to someone in the kitchen, not standing over a clipboard.
- 5 The list is already written Every sign-in is recorded against that open home at that property. Nothing to type up, nothing to count.
The screen buyers actually see
A photograph of the property fills the screen, with its address over the top and the sign-in beside it. Your logo, your colours, your wording. It looks like the listing rather than like software, which matters at the door of a house someone is deciding whether to buy.
One tap opens the form. Name and mobile, and it clears for the next person — so nobody reads the details of the eleven buyers before them.
What the vendor gets
And because it is the same record either way, the buyer who came to three of your open homes is one contact who came to three, not three separate lines in three books.
A word about your buyers' details
People hand over a mobile number at an open home because they want to hear about the house. Their details are yours, kept against the property they visited, and you set how long they are kept for. Nothing is sold on and nothing is shared with another agency.
You remain responsible for how you use the contact details you collect — this is not legal advice, and privacy obligations differ by country.
Frequently asked questions
What is open home sign-in software? ▾
An app that replaces the paper sign-in book on the hall table. Buyers enter their name and mobile on a tablet as they walk in, and you get a legible attendance list for the vendor and a set of contacts to follow up — instead of a page of handwriting you have to decipher on Sunday night.
Do I need a separate tablet for every property? ▾
No. One iPad covers your whole book. Add each property once, then switch the kiosk to whichever one you are standing in — it takes a tap and a PIN at the front door. The screen shows that property, and every sign-in that afternoon is recorded against it.
What does the vendor get? ▾
The attendance list for their open home: who came, and when. Because each open home is its own event, the list is already separated by property and by date — you are not filtering one long spreadsheet to find Saturday.
Can buyers see each other’s details? ▾
No, and this is the part a paper book cannot fix. Each person sees an empty form, fills it in, and it clears. Nobody reads the eleven names and phone numbers above theirs, which is both a courtesy to your buyers and the reason some of them write nothing legible in a book.
What if I have two open homes running back to back? ▾
The kiosk works out which one is on from the clock and the property, and adopts it without asking. If two genuinely overlap it shows a short list to pick from. There is a grace period either side, so someone signing in five minutes after the advertised finish still lands on the right open home.
Does it work without wi-fi? ▾
It needs a connection — an iPad on mobile data or a phone hotspot is enough, which is what most agents already do at a property with the power off. There is no on-site hardware to set up.
Can I brand it for my agency? ▾
Yes. Colours, logo and the wording on screen are yours, and there is a layout built for this: a photograph of the property filling the left of the screen with the sign-in beside it. The property is the thing a buyer sees, and your agency mark sits in the corner.
What happens to the details afterwards? ▾
They stay in your account, attached to the property and the open home they came from, and you decide how long they are kept. Everyone who signs in is a contact you can find again by property or by date.
Is this only for open homes? ▾
It is the same product estate agencies use for their office: visitors and contractors signing in at reception, and a live list of who is in the building. Open homes are one thing it does, not a separate app to buy.
