HomeSmart agents tend to run lean: you keep your commission, you run your own business, and you don't pay for tools that get in the way. So here's a HomeSmart open house sign-in sheet built the same way — fast, on your iPad, no account, no friction. OpenHouse captures every visitor at the door, qualifies them on the spot, and keeps the contact details yours. It's an independent app, not a HomeSmart product, but it fits how efficient agents actually work an open house.
Why efficiency-minded agents use OpenHouse at the door
- No spinning, no waiting. OpenHouse makes zero network calls, so the sign-in form never stalls trying to reach a server. The next visitor in line isn't watching a loading wheel.
- One screen per visitor. A single-screen sign-in means a stranger finishes in seconds, and visitor #9 can't read visitor #1's phone number off a shared clipboard.
- Keep your commission, keep your leads. You already run a model where what you earn stays yours. OpenHouse does the same with your data — every lead stays on your device and never routes to a vendor cloud or a paired lender.
- Qualify while they're standing there. Tag each visitor — represented buyer, unrepresented hot lead, neighbor, investor — so your callback list is sorted before you pack up the signs.
Built for volume
If you run a lot of opens, the failure modes add up: a listing with no signal, a clipboard nobody can read, an hour on Monday retyping names. OpenHouse removes all three. Sign-in is local and instant, the data is clean, and there's no retyping because the lead is captured the moment the visitor finishes. For the wider category, our open house sign-in app guide covers what to look for, and the best open house apps list ranks the real options, free ones included.
Disclosures and signed consent
You can show a disclosure or agency notice before sign-in and capture a signature, and OpenHouse records that the disclosure was accepted with a timestamp on each lead. For agents who want the paperwork buttoned up without slowing the door down, it's one toggle.
From the door to RealSmart (or wherever you work)
OpenHouse is intentionally not a CRM. It captures and qualifies at the front door, then hands the leads off the way you want: CSV, Contacts, vCard, a seller-ready PDF, or a share-to-CRM handoff you can drop into RealSmart, your own CRM, or a spreadsheet. From there your follow-up takes over — and our open house follow-up guide helps the first touch land.
OpenHouse vs. a free cloud sign-in app
| Free cloud sign-in app | OpenHouse | |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | Free | $9.99/mo or $79.99/yr, 1-month trial |
| Works with no Wi-Fi | Often degraded | Fully on-device, always |
| Where leads live | Vendor cloud (sometimes shared with lenders) | Your device only |
| Buyer qualification | Varies | Represented / hot / neighbor / investor |
| Signed disclosure capture | Rare | Built in, with timestamp |
| Export to RealSmart / your CRM | Varies | CSV, Contacts, vCard, share-to-CRM |
The honest trade: OpenHouse is paid while some sign-in apps are free, it's iOS/iPadOS only, and it isn't a marketing suite. What it is: a fast, private, reliable way to capture and qualify every visitor at the door. If that's the job, try it free for a month and run it at one event first.
Set it up for your next open house
- Install OpenHouse on your iPad and create the event for your listing.
- Add your branding and, if you want it, a disclosure for visitors to accept.
- Turn on kiosk mode, prop the iPad on the counter, and work the door.
- Afterward, export your qualified leads into RealSmart or your CRM and start following up.
Frequently asked questions
Is there an open house sign-in app for HomeSmart agents?
Yes. OpenHouse is an iPad and iPhone open house sign-in app any HomeSmart agent can use independently. It captures and qualifies each visitor at the door and keeps the leads on your device so you can export them into RealSmart, your CRM, or your own spreadsheet. It is not provided by or affiliated with HomeSmart.
How fast is the sign-in?
It's a single screen per visitor — name and contact, optional qualifying questions, done. There's nothing to wait on, because OpenHouse makes no network calls, so the form never spins while it tries to reach a server.
Does it work at a listing with no Wi-Fi?
Yes. Every sign-in is written to the iPad on the spot with zero network dependence, so a vacant or new-construction listing behaves exactly like a connected one.
Where do my leads go afterward?
Wherever you send them. OpenHouse exports to CSV, Contacts, vCard, a seller-ready PDF, or a share-to-CRM handoff. It is not a CRM and never auto-syncs, so your leads sit on your device until you move them — nothing is shared with a third party.
Can I collect a disclosure at the door?
Yes. You can show a disclosure or agency notice before sign-in and capture a signature, with a timestamp recorded on each lead — handy for buyer-representation documentation.
