If you run open houses for Keller Williams, the front door is where your pipeline actually starts — and a paper clipboard is a slow, leaky way to start it. A Keller Williams open house sign-in sheet that lives on your iPad captures every visitor cleanly, qualifies them while they're standing there, and keeps the contact details yours. OpenHouse was built to do exactly that, and it works the same whether the listing has fiber or no signal at all.
This is an independent app, not a KW product — but it's a natural fit for how KW agents are taught to work: own your database, work your sphere, and treat every open house as a lead-gen event rather than a favor to the seller.
Why Keller Williams agents use OpenHouse at the door
- It works with no Wi-Fi. Sign-in, qualification, and lead capture all happen on the iPad with zero network calls. Vacant and new-construction listings — the ones with the worst connectivity — behave exactly like a connected one.
- Your leads stay yours. Every visitor is stored on your device and never leaves it unless you export them. Nothing is routed to a third party or a paired lender behind the scenes. For an agent whose whole business is the database they own, that matters.
- Built-in kiosk mode. Hand the iPad to a stranger and they can't wander into your photos or email — kiosk mode locks the device to the sign-in screen, no fiddling with iOS Guided Access.
- Buyer qualification on the spot. Tag each visitor — represented buyer, unrepresented hot lead, neighbor, investor — so Monday's callback list is sorted before you leave the driveway.
A sign-in sheet that survives a busy Sunday
The point of going digital isn't the novelty — it's that handwriting is illegible, paper has no privacy, and retyping twenty names on Monday is how leads die. OpenHouse keeps a single clean screen in front of each visitor, so the next person can't read the last person's phone number, and the lead is captured the instant they finish. No "I'll add them to my CRM later," because later rarely happens.
If you want the broader category framing before you commit, our open house sign-in app buyer's guide walks through what to look for, and the best open house apps list ranks the real options — including the free ones — without pretending ours is the only answer.
Add your KW branding — keep it yours
Upload your headshot or your team logo and set a welcome message, and the kiosk greets visitors as your open house, not a generic form. As a licensed Keller Williams agent you're entitled to use your brokerage branding on your own marketing, and the sign-in screen is exactly that. The lead, though, belongs to you — not to the app.
Disclosures and signed consent at the door
Post-NAR-settlement, what a visitor agrees to at an open house matters more than it used to. OpenHouse can show a disclosure or agency notice before sign-in and capture a signature, and it records that the disclosure was accepted with a timestamp on each lead. If you want the background, our guide to buyer-agency disclosure at open houses covers what most agents get wrong.
From the front door to Command
OpenHouse is deliberately not a CRM. It captures and qualifies at the door, then hands the leads off the way you want them: CSV, Contacts, vCard, a seller-ready PDF summary, or a share-to-CRM handoff you can drop into Command, kvCORE/BoldTrail, or whatever you actually work out of. Then your follow-up system takes over — and our guide to open house follow-up helps you make the first touch count.

The honest version: OpenHouse is a paid app while some competitors are free, it's iOS/iPadOS only, and it isn't a marketing suite. What it does is capture every visitor at the door reliably, qualify them, and keep the leads yours. If that's the job you need done at a KW open house, try it free for a month and run it at one low-stakes event before a busy Sunday.
Frequently asked questions
Is there an open house sign-in app for Keller Williams agents?
Yes. OpenHouse is an iPad and iPhone open house sign-in app that any Keller Williams agent can use. It captures each visitor at the door, qualifies them, and keeps the leads on your device so you can export them to Command, kvCORE/BoldTrail, or your own database. It is an independent app and is not provided by or affiliated with Keller Williams.
Can I add my Keller Williams branding to the sign-in screen?
Yes. You can add your own photo or logo and a welcome message so the kiosk looks like yours, not a generic form. As a KW agent you are licensed to use your brokerage branding on your own marketing materials, including your open house sign-in.
Does it work if the listing has no Wi-Fi?
Yes. OpenHouse makes zero network calls — every sign-in is written to the iPad on the spot. A new-construction or vacant KW listing with no signal behaves exactly like a connected one, so you never lose a lead to a dead zone.
Can I get visitors to sign a disclosure at the door?
Yes. You can show a disclosure or agency notice before sign-in and capture a signature, and each lead records that the disclosure was accepted with a timestamp — useful for buyer-representation and post-NAR-settlement documentation.
Does it send my leads to a CRM?
OpenHouse captures and qualifies at the door, then hands the leads off on your terms — CSV, Contacts, vCard, PDF, or share-to-CRM. It is not a CRM itself and does not auto-sync, by design: your leads stay on your device until you export them, so nothing is shared with a third party without you choosing to.
