eXp built a brokerage with no physical offices, which makes one thing obvious: the agent owns the business, the database, and the relationships. So it's a little strange that the most important moment in that database — a stranger walking into your open house — usually still gets recorded on a paper clipboard. An eXp Realty open house sign-in sheet that runs on your iPad fixes that: every visitor captured cleanly, qualified on the spot, and stored where it belongs — with you.
OpenHouse is an independent app, not an eXp product. But it's built around the same assumption eXp agents already live by — your leads are yours — and it adds the one thing the cloud can't give you at the front door: it works even when there's no connection at all.
Cloud-native everywhere — except the front door
eXp agents are comfortable running their whole operation online. The catch is that the open house happens in the physical world, frequently at a vacant or new-construction listing where the Wi-Fi is a rumor. That's exactly where cloud-first sign-in tools stall.
OpenHouse takes the opposite approach on purpose: sign-in, buyer qualification, and lead capture all run entirely on the iPad with zero network calls. The connection comes back into play only when you decide to export. A listing with no signal behaves exactly like one with fiber.
Your database, not someone else's
The reason "free" open house tools are free is usually that your visitor data funds them. For an agent whose business model is literally owning the relationship, that's a bad trade. OpenHouse keeps every lead private and on your device; nothing is shared with a lender or a third party behind the scenes. When you're ready, you export the leads and they go into your pipeline.
If you want the wider lay of the land first, the best open house apps list ranks the real options honestly — including the genuinely free one — and OpenHouse vs Curb Hero is the head-to-head most eXp agents are actually weighing.
What it does at the door
- Single-screen sign-in so the next visitor never sees the last one's number, and the lead is captured the instant they finish.
- Built-in kiosk mode that locks the iPad to the sign-in screen — hand it to anyone without worrying they'll wander into your apps.
- On-the-spot qualification — represented buyer, unrepresented hot lead, neighbor, or investor — so your follow-up list is already sorted.
- Disclosure and signed consent before sign-in, with a timestamp recorded on each lead, which matters more in the post-settlement world. Our buyer-agency disclosure guide covers the why.
Sign-in to CRM, the way you actually work
OpenHouse isn't trying to be your CRM — you already have one. It captures and qualifies at the door, then hands the leads off as CSV, Contacts, vCard, a seller-ready PDF, or a share-to-CRM action you can route into kvCORE/BoldTrail. From there, your follow-up system runs; our guide to open house follow-up helps the first touch land.
eXp open house sign-in: paper vs. OpenHouse

| No retyping on Monday | ❌ | ✅ exports clean |
| One private screen per visitor | ❌ | ✅ |
| Qualify buyers at the door | ❌ | ✅ |

Run it at your next eXp open house
- Install OpenHouse on your iPad (iPhone works too) and set up the listing as an event.
- Add your branding and, if you want it, a disclosure for visitors to accept.
- Turn on kiosk mode, set the iPad on the counter, and work the door.
- Afterward, export the qualified leads into your CRM and start following up the same day.
Straight version: it's a paid app, it's iOS/iPadOS only, and it's not a marketing suite. What it is, is a sign-in kiosk that captures every visitor reliably, qualifies them, and keeps the leads yours. If that's the job at your eXp open house, try it free for a month and test it at a quiet event before a busy weekend.
Frequently asked questions
Is there an open house sign-in app for eXp Realty agents?
Yes. OpenHouse is an independent iPad and iPhone open house sign-in app that any eXp Realty agent can use. It captures and qualifies each visitor at the door and keeps the leads on your device until you export them to your CRM. It is not provided by or affiliated with eXp Realty.
Does it work with the cloud-based way eXp agents already operate?
It complements it. eXp runs in the cloud, but the open house itself happens at a physical door that often has no signal. OpenHouse captures every visitor fully on-device with zero network calls, then exports the leads into your CRM afterward — so a dead-zone listing never costs you a contact.
Can I keep my own branding on the sign-in screen?
Yes. Add your headshot or team logo and a welcome message so the kiosk is clearly yours. As a licensed eXp agent you can use your brokerage branding on your own marketing, and the sign-in screen is part of that.
Do my open house leads stay mine?
Yes. Every lead is stored on your device and never leaves it unless you export it. Nothing is routed to a third party or a paired lender. For agents who treat their database as the business they own, that is the whole point.
Can I export leads into kvCORE / BoldTrail?
Yes, on your terms. OpenHouse hands leads off as CSV, Contacts, vCard, a PDF summary, or a share-to-CRM action you can drop into kvCORE/BoldTrail or whatever you work out of. It captures and qualifies at the door; your CRM does the long-term follow-up.
