Open House Toolkit  ·  Lindsey Trimm, BHHS Professional Realty

Run your open house like a professional.

Four tools in one place. A day-of timeline to keep you on schedule, a complete preparation checklist, a printable sign-in sheet for every visitor, and a buyer feedback form to send after the showing. Use all four, every time.

Post it and pray is not a strategy. Proactive promotion and pricing is the name of the game. Have you called buyer's agents and personally invited them to bring buyers? Is your price aligned with the pricing pyramid? Strategy is what closes deals and puts money in your pocket.

Use This Every Time

Day-of open house timeline

Work backward from your start time. Each block below is a phase. Check items as you complete them so nothing gets missed in the rush.

Nothing Gets Missed

Complete preparation checklist

Every item on this list represents money in your final offer. Buyers discount aggressively for anything they have to imagine past. Work through all six categories before the first guest arrives.

0 of 37 items complete0%
The law of thousands. A buyer who sees an aging dishwasher mentally subtracts $1,000 from their offer — even when replacement costs $600. A cluttered room signals a smaller home. One strong odor ends a showing before the buyer reaches the kitchen. Every item on this list is a dollar amount, not a suggestion.

Every Visitor, Every Time

Printable sign-in sheet

Require every open house visitor to sign in. This is a security measure and your follow-up list. When you lower your price or improve your terms, these are the people you contact first. Fill in the property details below, then print.

After the Showing

Buyer feedback form

Text or email this page link with #feedback added to every visitor after your open house. Their honest responses tell you what is working and what is not — before they tell their agent.
