Free Open House Sign-In Sheet Templates (PDF)

Most open house sign in sheet template searches end the same way. You print whatever loads first. On Sunday night half the rows are blank, two emails bounce, and one visitor has signed in as "M." None of that is the visitor's fault. It is the template's. A sign-in sheet is a tiny form deployed in a hostile environment, full of strangers who owe you nothing, with a line forming behind them at the door.

Three copy-ready sheets are below: a bare-bones three-field version, a qualifying six-field version, and a guest registry for private showings. Every column comes with the reason it earned its row. If you run open houses on paper and intend to keep doing so, good. These are built to make paper work as hard as paper can.

Download the templates (free, no email required)

Three print-ready PDFs, US Letter size, formatted with rows big enough to keep handwriting readable. No sign-up and no email wall: open, print, and you are ready for the door.

• Basic three-field sheet (PDF) for busy weekend traffic.
• Qualifying six-field sheet (PDF) for moderate traffic and a ranked callback list.
• Luxury guest registry (PDF) for private and high-end showings.

Each PDF matches one of the three layouts explained below. Print at 100 percent and add rows in any editor if you need more. Every sheet already carries a one-line privacy note and ruled space for the property, date, and your name.

Printable, PDF, Word, or editable: which one you actually need

Four different jobs hide inside the same search. Find yours in the first column, take the file, and skip the rest of this section.

Two things are worth knowing before you download anything at all.

A fillable PDF is not a printable PDF. A fillable PDF is a typing form: it has text fields you complete on a screen with a keyboard. That is the wrong tool at a front door, where a stranger is holding a clipboard and a pen with three people behind them. Plenty of the free sheets you will find are fillable, which is fine if you are logging a private showing at your desk afterward, and useless at a Saturday table. Read the description before you download.

This site publishes PDFs and a browser sheet, not a .docx. Better to say so than let you hunt for a Word file that does not exist here. A .docx re-flows when it opens on a machine with different fonts or hits an unfamiliar printer driver, and the first thing it gives up is row height, which is the one measurement that decides whether Monday's handwriting is readable. A PDF holds its layout on every borrowed office printer. If you want Word anyway, the anatomy section below hands you the page size, row heights and column widths so you can rebuild it in about ten minutes.

Checked September 3, 2026, here is what five of the free template pages you are likely to land on actually hand you, because the format is rarely stated before the click. We publish a sign-in app, so read this as a vendor's summary of what each publisher offers, verified against their own pages on that date:

• The Close publishes ten sign-in sheets as fillable PDFs. No Word version, no Excel version.
• Vertex42 publishes Excel files only, under a private-use license that matters more than most agents realize. There is a section on that below.
• Hooquest publishes a Word version alongside Google Sheets and PDF versions, which makes it the closest thing to a genuine .docx answer.
• RealTrends asks for a form submission before the download starts.
• Colibri Real Estate covers what to include and why, without a completed example of a finished sheet.

The three PDFs above and the browser version ask for no email address, which is the whole reason they are on this page rather than behind a form.

Why visitors skip lines or write fake info

A sheet fails in four cheap little ways that cost real money. Handwriting nobody can read turns a hot lead into a dead end. A skipped phone and a skipped email mean no follow-up at all. With no qualification column, every name on the page looks identical on Monday. And re-typing the whole thing into your CRM is the chore you postpone until the leads go cold.

Layout is only half of it. People also leave fields blank or invent contact details for reasons you can predict:

• Too many columns at once. A row asking for name, phone, email, address, agent, timeline, and financing reads like an interrogation. People respond to interrogations by lying.
• No stated reason for the data. One printed line ("We use this to send you info about this home and to keep the seller's property secure") lowers the temperature of the ask. Nobody publishes a measured fake-info rate for sheets with and without that line, so treat it as a sound habit rather than a proven lever.
• A line behind them. Every extra field costs seconds, and people abbreviate under social pressure. The fourth person waiting at a busy table writes less than the first one did.
• Everyone else's information on display. When a visitor can see twenty previous names and phone numbers, they conclude theirs will be just as visible. Some opt out on the spot.
• Tiny rows. Cramped rows produce cramped handwriting, and cramped handwriting produces dead leads.

It also helps to have one sentence ready for the visitor who hesitates at the table. Something like:

"Come on in. Would you mind signing in for me? The sellers like a record of who has been through the house, and it is how I get you the disclosure packet. One contact method is plenty."

All three sheets below are shaped against those failures: few required fields, big rows, and a reason to sign printed on the page.

Template 1: the bare-bones three-field sheet

Use this one for busy weekend traffic, entry-level and mid-market listings, or any open house where you expect more than fifteen visitors. Speed is the whole strategy. Every person through the door leaves a readable name and one working contact method, and that is enough. If you are staffing the door alone, default to this layout. You cannot babysit a six-column form and hold a conversation in the kitchen at the same time.

Copy this table into any document editor, set the page wide (horizontal, not tall), and add empty rows until you have six to eight per page:

Why each field earns its row:

• Name. Label it "Name," not "Full name." Insisting on legal-sounding completeness raises the stakes of the ask for nothing you will use. A first name and a readable surname is all follow-up needs.
• Phone or email, one combined column. The deliberate move on this sheet. Two separate contact columns invite visitors to fill one and skip the other, or skip both. One column with "one is fine" written in the header lowers the ask, and a single working contact channel beats two blanks.
• Working with an agent? (Y/N). The highest-value question on any sign-in sheet. It splits Monday's list into prospects and courtesy contacts with one circled letter. If you want the bigger picture on how buyers pair up with agents, the buyer-representation data in NAR's research and statistics is worth a skim. The short version: unrepresented visitors at your open house are exactly the people to call first.

That is the whole form. Three fields looks lazy until you work a Saturday rush with it.

Template 2: the qualifying six-field sheet

This one suits moderate traffic, roughly five to fifteen visitors, when people have room to linger at the table. Required contact fields sit up front and qualification gets pushed into columns marked optional. That separation is the trick. Visitors in a hurry can be quick, and serious buyers will happily tell you more.

Field-by-field rationale:

• Name, phone, email. At this traffic level you can ask for both contact channels. If a visitor fills only one, let it go; a partial row from a real buyer outranks a complete row from an annoyed one.
• Working with an agent? Same as template 1. It never comes off the sheet.
• Timeline to buy (optional). "0–3 months / 3–6 / just looking" is enough resolution. This column turns Monday's flat list into a ranked callback queue.
• Pre-approved? (optional). A yes here, paired with a short timeline and no agent, is the hottest lead an open house produces. Mark it optional and serious buyers tend to answer it anyway. The label buys you trust, and the trust buys you the answer.

Tempted to add a seventh column? Read which fields earn their place on the form first. Almost nothing else survives the cost-benefit test at the front door, because every column you add costs a little legibility on every row beneath it.

Template 3: the luxury and private-showing variant

High-end listings and by-appointment showings need a different register. This sheet should read like a guest registry. At this price point, financing questions at the door are a mistake, because you learn financing in conversation. The registry's job is names, contact, and representation.

Why this version is different:

• "Guest name," not "Name." Tone is the product here. The header row should match the listing's marketing voice.
• "Represented by" instead of "Working with an agent?" Same intelligence, framed as hospitality. You are asking who to coordinate with, not whether they are up for grabs.
• "How did you hear about this home?" At luxury price points this column is marketing gold. It tells you whether the print piece, the broker network, or the listing portal produced the body in the room.
• No timeline, no financing. Deliberately absent. The registry earns the conversation, and the conversation earns the qualification.

Print this one on heavier paper stock if you can. That sounds precious until you watch someone pick up a 32 lb sheet and then a copy-paper one. Heavier stock also survives a clipboard on a windy porch, which copy paper does not.

What an open house sign-in sheet looks like, top to bottom

Every sheet on this page, and nearly every good one you will find anywhere else, is the same five horizontal bands printed on a US Letter page turned sideways: 11 inches wide by 8.5 inches tall, with half-inch margins on all four sides. That leaves a printable area 10 inches wide and 7.5 inches deep. Here is what fills it, from the top edge down.

Band 1, the header block, roughly 1.2 inches. Property address, date, your name, your brokerage, your license number. Four or five short labels with a ruled line after each one. This is the band free templates most often leave off. There is a section further down on the advertising rules that make it worth printing.

Band 2, the reason to sign, one line, roughly 0.25 inch. A single sentence in 10 or 11 point type telling the visitor what the information is for. The three sheets on this page put it at the bottom instead of the top, inside a tinted box, which reads better on a clipboard. Top or bottom is a taste call. Missing entirely is not.

Band 3, the column header row, roughly 0.35 inch. Bold, 11 point, on a shaded fill so the eye can find the column boundaries at a glance while standing up.

Band 4, the data rows. Six to eight of them, each at least half an inch tall. The sheets here use 0.6 inch rows, which is exactly why eight rows fill one page with the header and footer in place. Number them down the left edge in a light gray, so the person signing can see at a glance that they are on line five and that four people ahead of them did the same thing.

Band 5, the footer, roughly 0.4 inch. Page number if you are printing a stack, and one line of provenance so a reprint is easy to find later.

Half an inch of row is 36 points in Word or Excel. The 0.6 inch rows on these sheets are 43 points. Set that value before you print anything, because the default row height in both programs prints at roughly a quarter inch, which is not enough room for a legible email address.

Column widths matter as much as row height, and this is the part nobody writes down. Across the 10 inch printable width, the basic three-field sheet on this page divides roughly as 0.6 inch for the row number, 3.4 inches for the name, 3.8 inches for the combined phone-or-email column, and 2.2 inches for the representation question. The qualifying six-field sheet runs about 0.5, 1.9, 1.6, 2.0, 1.4, 1.3 and 1.3 inches across its seven columns. Copy those numbers into a Word table or an Excel column-width dialog and you have rebuilt the sheet without measuring anything yourself.

A finished sheet, one row in, looks like this:

That first row is a made-up example, and printing one like it in your own handwriting before the doors open is the cheapest legibility trick in this guide. It shows the next visitor how much to write and where, and it removes the small hesitation of being the first name on a blank page. Want the version with your address, your name and your row count already printed on it? Fill in your details and print a sheet in the browser, with no email address required.

Printing tips that decide whether the sheet works

A free sign in sheet for realtors is only free if it produces data you can read, and the sheet lives or dies at the printer. Treat these decisions as part of the form:

Two more details worth copying. Tape a spare pen to the clipboard with a length of string, because pens walk off in coat pockets and nobody ever means to take them. And put the table where people land after the entryway rather than in the doorway itself. A sheet in the doorway gets skipped by every visitor who arrives while you are mid-conversation two rooms away.

One more habit worth stealing: start a fresh page at the top of each hour. It costs nothing and gives you time-batched sheets, so on Monday you know who came during the 1 p.m. rush and who wandered in during the quiet last half hour. The rush crowd got maybe ninety seconds of your attention each; they need the longer first call. That context feeds straight into the full lead capture playbook when you start working the names you collected.

What should be on an open house sign-in sheet: required, optional, never

Three columns, and the third one is the column most template pages skip.

The required column is short on purpose. Name, one working contact channel, and representation status are the three facts that decide what happens on Monday, and the header block is the one part of the sheet that is about you rather than the visitor.

The optional column earns its place only when the room is quiet enough for someone to linger at the table. Mark each of those columns (optional) in the header text itself, where a visitor reads it before they start writing.

The never column deserves a real source rather than an opinion. The Federal Trade Commission's Protecting Personal Information: A Guide for Business states the principle as "SCALE DOWN. Keep only what you need for your business," and puts the collection question ahead of the storage question: "If you don't have a legitimate business need for sensitive personally identifying information, don't keep it. In fact, don't even collect it." A sign-in sheet is a public document by design. Every row is visible to the next person in line, a phone camera reads a clipboard from four feet away, and the sheet spends part of its afternoon face up on a kitchen island while you are two rooms away. Anything in that third column has no business being there.

One honest caveat about the conventional wisdom. You will see "five to seven fields" and "under 60 seconds" repeated across template posts as though somebody measured it. No public dataset gives a field-count-to-completion curve for paper open house sheets, so treat those numbers as a widely shared convention rather than a finding.

The wording of each question, and which ones to ask out loud instead of printing, is a separate job covered in which questions earn a slot on the form. The state-by-state privacy side of what you collect and store lives in open house sign-in privacy laws. And if what you actually want is the visitor's opinion of the house rather than their contact details, that is a different document entirely: see the open house feedback form, and keep the two on separate sheets of paper.

Your name, brokerage and license number: the block most free templates leave off

Start with what does not exist. No state publishes a rule naming an open house sign-in sheet as a required record, and NAR's own Consumer Guide to Open Houses and Written Agreements, published August 17, 2024, never mentions a sign-in sheet at all. It addresses whether a visitor who walks into an open house alone needs a written buyer agreement, and concludes they do not. Anyone telling you a sign-in sheet is legally mandated is describing brokerage or MLS policy, not a statute.

What does exist is state advertising and solicitation rules, and they are why the header block belongs on the page.

California. Business and Professions Code section 10140.6 requires a licensee to disclose their name, license identification number and the responsible broker's identity "on all solicitation materials intended to be the first point of contact with consumers." The statute's own definition of solicitation materials, at subsection (b)(3), lists "business cards, stationery, advertising flyers, advertisements on television, in print, or electronic media, 'for sale,' rent, lease, 'open house,' and directional signs, and other materials designed to solicit the creation of a professional relationship between the licensee and a consumer." Open house signs are named. A sign-in sheet is not.

Texas. 22 TAC 535.155 requires each advertisement to carry the name of the license holder or team placing it, plus the broker's name in at least half the size of the largest contact information shown for any sales agent, associated broker or team name. It defines an advertisement as "any form of communication by or on behalf of a license holder designed to attract the public to use real estate brokerage services," and lists displays, signs and business stationery among the examples while excluding communications to existing clients. TREC publishes a plain-language version at TREC's Advertising Rules: What You Need To Know.

Neither rule names the document you are printing. Whether the sheet on your entry table counts as a first point of contact with consumers, or as a communication designed to attract the public to use brokerage services, is a question for your broker or your state commission. This is a template guide from the vendor of a sign-in app, not a legal opinion, and the honest answer is that the statutes are clear and their application to this particular piece of paper is not.

The practical move costs you nothing either way. Put five short lines across the top of every sheet:

1. Property address. The one line that makes a stray sheet identifiable on Monday.
2. Date, and the hour if you start a fresh page each hour.
3. Your name, as it appears on your license.
4. Your brokerage's name, at the size your state's advertising rule calls for if it has one.
5. Your license number.

Worth saying plainly, since this guide is charging free templates with leaving that block off: the three PDFs on this page print labeled lines for Property, Date, Agent and Phone, and no license number line. Neither does the browser version. Write your brokerage and license number on the Agent line, or drop them in with any PDF editor before you print the stack, and save that file as your master.

How to make your own open house sign-in sheet

If none of the three above fits your market, building your own printable sheet takes about ten minutes:

1. Pick the closest template above as your base. Traffic level and price point decide that, not personal preference.
2. Set the page wide with half-inch margins in any document editor. Every layout on this page assumes a wide page.
3. Add the header block: property address, date, your name and license number, and a one-sentence privacy note explaining what the information is for.
4. Build the table with your chosen fields as columns. Mark anything beyond name, contact, and representation as (optional), visibly, in the column header itself.
5. Cap it at six to eight rows per page and make each row at least half an inch tall.
6. Save it as a PDF before printing so the layout survives every printer you will ever borrow.
7. Print double what you think you need, clip the stack to a clipboard with two pens, and neatly fill in row one yourself.

That PDF becomes your reusable master. Change the address line and it is ready for the next listing.

When to graduate from paper to a digital sign-in sheet

The whole debate lives in when paper stops being worth it. The short version is a Monday test. If you keep losing follow-ups to unreadable handwriting, skipped fields, or the re-typing job you keep postponing, the template is no longer your problem. App roundups like The Close's open house app guide cover the field if you want to compare everything at once. We make one of those apps, so treat this next part as the vendor talking: OpenHouse is the digital version, one screen and no clipboard. It uses the same required-up-front, optional-below structure as the qualifying template, and each sign-in is written to the iPad itself, with no account and no network call between the visitor and the saved lead. Pair any tablet sign-in with Apple's Guided Access so visitors cannot wander out of the form, and the iPad becomes as hard to break as the clipboard ever was.

And if you stay on paper? Genuinely fine. A well-printed sheet, worked with discipline, beats a neglected app. The leads do not care what they were captured on. They care whether you called.

Open house sign-in sheet in Excel, Word, and Google Docs

The three templates above copy into any document editor in about five minutes. Each format has one gotcha that will ruin the print layout if you ignore it.

Excel (or Google Sheets). Spreadsheets are what most agents reach for first, and they work, with one adjustment. The default row height in Excel and Sheets prints at roughly a quarter inch, nowhere near enough room for a readable email address. Before you export to PDF, select all data rows, right-click, choose Row Height, and set it to 36–40 points, about half an inch on paper. Turn gridlines off before printing too. That faint default grid looks fine on screen and prints muddy. Once both settings are locked in, save a master copy, then change the address cell and re-export for the next listing without touching anything else.

Word (or Google Docs). Tables in Word give you more visual control than a spreadsheet. You can set exact row heights in the Table Properties dialog, give the header row its own background, and change font and border weight without fighting a page layout that thinks in cells. Span the table margin-to-margin and use a wide (landscape) orientation. Word is where the luxury registry from Template 3 looks best, because the larger cells and a clean serif typeface match the tone of a high-end listing. Save the finished document as a PDF master for the reason above: PDF holds its layout across every printer you will ever borrow.

Google Docs. Docs handles this the same way Word does, and the file lives in Drive, so a last-minute reprint from your phone is possible. Sharing helps too: a team member or assistant can update the address and print remotely. One caution. Once the layout is final, drop the link's permission to "commenter" or "viewer" so nobody resizes a column five minutes before doors open.

Canva. Canva earns a mention because it is where agents land searching for templates on a phone on Sunday morning. The path works and it is slow: find a form template, replace the placeholder text, export to PDF. Row density is the real limitation, since Canva's table tools are not built for data-entry forms, so rows print taller than you need or narrower than you want. Set the canvas to A4 or US Letter wide (landscape) and test-print one page before you run the stack. A layout that looks right on a 13-inch screen can produce a half-inch address column at the printer.

The rule holds in all four: build it once, save the PDF, and go back to the source document only when something has to change. Reprinting straight from a live spreadsheet or Docs file without checking the layout is how you end up at the door with quarter-inch columns.

Before you rebrand a free template, read its license

A free download is not automatically an unrestricted one, and the gap between those two things is where a lot of agents quietly end up.

Take the Excel option named further up this page. Vertex42's templates ship under its Private Use license, which permits you to "customize the template only for your personal use or use within your company or organization," and to share an edited copy privately with the people in your organization who need it. The same license says you "may not remove or alter any Vertex42 logo, trademark, copyright, disclaimer," and that templates may not be "sold, distributed, published to an online gallery, hosted on a website." It goes as far as telling Google Drive users to turn link sharing off.

Read those two halves together and one very common move breaks the terms. Download the free Excel sheet, swap the publisher's mark for your brokerage logo, post the file on your team's public page so the other agents can grab it. Editing it inside your brokerage is squarely inside the license. Stripping the mark and hosting it publicly is not. Vertex42 states all of this openly, which is more than many template sites bother to do at all. The habit worth building is generic: before you rebrand anything you downloaded, find the license page and read the two sentences about marks and public posting.

Our own terms, in one sentence, so you are not left guessing: the three PDFs on this page and anything the browser version prints are free to print, brand and use at your own listings, at as many open houses as you like, and adding your brokerage logo in any PDF editor before you print is expected rather than tolerated.

Open house registration form and visitor log: same thing, different register

Search traffic for "open house registration form" and "open house visitor log" lands on this page for a reason: they are the same document with different names for different situations.

Registration form is the language that fits broker caravans, new-construction previews, and higher-end listings where "sign-in sheet" sounds like a clipboard at a dentist's office. A registration form implies an event worth registering for, and the word does some of the work the printed privacy line does: it frames the ask as part of a process rather than a data grab. Nobody has measured whether the word changes what people write, so use it because it fits the room, not because it is a lever. The template underneath can be identical to Template 1 or Template 2 above. The name change is in the header, not the columns.

Visitor log leans into the security and record-keeping function rather than the lead capture function. It is the term sellers respond well to when you explain why you are asking visitors to sign in. "I keep a visitor log so the sellers have a record of who has been through the home" lands better with many sellers than "this is how I collect leads." Both are true. Use whichever framing fits the room. A dated log is also the cheapest way to answer a seller who asks later who was in the house on Sunday. Whether your brokerage or MLS requires a record of access to a listed property, and what would satisfy it, is set locally, so ask your broker rather than assuming a sign-in sheet covers it.

The field logic is the same in all three framings. Name, one contact method, and representation status belong on every open house registration form or visitor log regardless of what you call the document or how you print it.

Brokerage-branded sign-in sheets: Keller Williams, RE/MAX, and eXp

These are the three franchises agents search for by name, so start with the honest limitation. Every franchise marketing library sits behind an agent login, which means nobody outside the brokerage can check what is in it today. What follows is the shape of the answer, not an inventory.

Keller Williams. KW agents get their print marketing through KW Command, which carries editable designs you brand with your headshot and contact block. Whether a sign-in sheet sits in your Market Center's library, and whether a specific layout is required, is a question for your Market Center rather than a template design question.

RE/MAX. RE/MAX agents get theirs through the Design Center, and anything you pull from it arrives wrapped in the franchise mark. The wrapper does not change what the form captures. A beautifully branded sheet with twelve columns and quarter-inch rows still fails at a busy Saturday table.

eXp Realty. eXp runs a virtual model, so branded materials come through its own agent platform and a lot of agents simply build their own to the brand standards. If that is you, the layout logic in this guide transfers directly. Get your logo, colors, and disclosure footer from eXp's current brand guide rather than from a competitor's screenshot.

What the branding changes. The logo signals a real brokerage behind the sheet, which matters at a listing presentation. It does nothing about field count, row height, or the reason-to-sign line, and those are the parts that decide what you can read on Monday. No public dataset compares completion or fake-entry rates for branded and unbranded sheets, so nobody can honestly tell you a logo lifts either one. Use the brand assets when you are being seen by a seller. At the door on Saturday, run whichever layout your traffic level calls for.

One practical note for all three. Confirm with your broker or compliance team that your chosen layout carries your name, license number, and brokerage affiliation in the header. As the licensing section above sets out, no state names a sign-in sheet as a required record, and the advertising rules that do exist are written broadly enough that your broker is the right person to read them against your sheet.

If your brokerage is not one of these three, the brokerage-by-brokerage sign-in sheet pages cover eighteen franchises one at a time, with the branding details and the template logic for each.

Digital sign-in sheets: when the template format stops mattering

Excel, Word, Google Docs, Canva, branded or plain: at some point the file format stops being the question and whether paper is the right tool at all takes its place. A digital sheet, ours or anyone else's, removes the re-typing step. Every contact arrives readable and in one consistent shape, ready to export to CSV or push to your CRM before you leave the driveway.

The cost is real on the other side. Setup takes an evening, and some visitors who would have signed a paper form without thinking will hesitate at a tablet. Which friction costs you more depends on your traffic and your follow-up discipline, so the side-by-side sits in paper vs. digital sign-in, and the version that puts our own app against a clipboard is OpenHouse compared with a paper sign-in sheet. We sell one of the two, so read both with that in mind.

Frequently asked questions

What fields should an open house sign-in sheet template include?

At minimum: name, one contact method (phone or email), and whether the visitor is already working with an agent. Add timeline and financing questions only when traffic is slow enough that a longer form will not create a line at the door.

How many rows should a printable open house sign-in sheet have per page?

Six to eight. Big rows are the cheapest legibility upgrade available, and ten or more rows per page forces cramped handwriting you will not be able to read on Monday.

Why do visitors skip lines or write fake info on sign-in sheets?

Usually because the form asks for too much, too publicly, with no stated reason. Fewer required fields, a one-line privacy note, and a layout that hides earlier visitors' details are the standard countermeasures. No public dataset measures how much each one helps, so treat them as sound habits rather than proven levers.

Do I need a digital sign-in app instead of a paper template?

Not necessarily. Paper works at moderate traffic if you print enough sheets and re-type leads the same day. Digital starts paying off when unreadable handwriting, skipped fields, and Monday data entry begin costing you follow-ups.

Can I build an open house sign-in sheet in Excel or Google Sheets?

Yes. Set up columns matching whichever template fits your traffic level, freeze the header row, and print to PDF before the open house. The main limitation is row height: most spreadsheet defaults print too narrow for comfortable handwriting, so set each row to at least 0.5 inches (36 to 40 points) before you export, and turn gridlines off.

Do Keller Williams, RE/MAX, or eXp require a specific open house sign-in sheet?

None of the three publishes a public rule that mandates one format, and their marketing libraries sit behind an agent login, so the answer for your office comes from your broker or Market Center compliance team. The fields that decide what happens on Monday (name, one contact method, representation status) do not change with the branding.

What is the difference between an open house sign-in sheet and a registration form?

They capture the same information. "Registration form" is the term favored at higher-end listings and broker caravan events where "sign-in sheet" sounds too informal. The field logic, name, contact, representation, is identical.

Is an open house visitor log the same as a sign-in sheet?

Effectively yes. "Visitor log" emphasizes the security and record-keeping function, which is useful to mention to sellers. "Sign-in sheet" emphasizes lead capture. The same form serves both purposes; the framing you use depends on who you are explaining it to.

What does an open house sign-in sheet look like?

A US Letter page turned sideways, 11 inches wide by 8.5 inches tall, with half-inch margins and five horizontal bands. A header block carrying the property address, date and your name. A one-line note saying why you are asking. A shaded column header row. Six to eight numbered data rows, each at least half an inch tall. A footer. The sheets on this page use 0.6 inch rows, which is why eight of them fill one page.

Is there a free open house sign-in sheet template in Word?

Several publishers offer one. Checked September 3, 2026: Hooquest publishes a Word version alongside Google Sheets and PDF versions, and Vertex42 publishes Excel files. This site publishes print-ready PDFs and a browser sheet you can put your own property and name on, rather than a .docx, because a Word file re-flows on an unfamiliar printer and a PDF holds its layout. The anatomy section of this guide lists the page size, row heights and column widths if you would rather rebuild it in Word yourself.

Do I have to put my license number on an open house sign-in sheet?

No state publishes a rule naming an open house sign-in sheet as a required record. The rules that do exist are general advertising and solicitation rules. California Business and Professions Code section 10140.6 requires a licensee's name, license identification number and responsible broker's identity on solicitation materials intended to be the first point of contact with consumers, and its own definition of those materials names open house signs. Texas 22 TAC 535.155 requires the license holder's or team's name plus the broker's name on advertisements. Whether the sheet on your table falls inside those definitions is a question for your broker or your state commission.

Can I put my brokerage logo on a free template I downloaded?

Read the template's license first, because a free download is not always an unrestricted one. Vertex42's Private Use license permits customizing a template for use inside your company and sharing it privately with your team, and it does not permit removing Vertex42's marks or hosting the file where the public can reach it. Terms differ by publisher, so check the one you downloaded. The PDFs on this page are free to print, brand and use at your own listings.
