Form details

Property and open house

Record the house and this event only. This is a practical seller and host template, not legal advice, not a licensed home inspection, and not an official NAR, MLS, or brokerage form. Showing and visitor-agreement rules vary by state and by office.

12 fields
Property and open house

NAR open-house safety: work with a buddy and check in with the office. Name the person who expects a call.

Inspection station

Approach in the last 24 hours

Walk from the street as a first-time visitor would. This is a same-day sweep, not a landscape or curb-staging project. Mark N/A on a unit with no yard or path you control.

8 items
Approach in the last 24 hours

Walk, steps, and path swept of debris, snow, or ice

NAR showing list: sweep debris, snow, or ice from pathways leading to the home. Write a large trip hazard in Notes; this is not a sidewalk inspection.

Walk, steps, and path swept of debris, snow, or ice: Done, Skip, or N/A

Porch, stoop, and landing clear of packages, toys, and bins

Buyers photograph the first five seconds. Move deliveries, recycling, and sports gear off the landing.

Porch, stoop, and landing clear of packages, toys, and bins: Done, Skip, or N/A

House numbers readable from the street or the assigned parking approach

Visitors, appraisers, and late arrivals need the address before they reach the door. Wipe or replace a faded plaque if you can do it today.

House numbers readable from the street or the assigned parking approach: Done, Skip, or N/A

Drive or assigned parking not blocked by extra cars or overflow storage

NAR safety tips: park the host car at the curb, not in the driveway, so you are not blocked in. Leave the approach open for visitors.

Drive or assigned parking not blocked by extra cars or overflow storage: Done, Skip, or N/A

Porch and path lights work for an evening or late-afternoon event

NAR showing list turns on all lights, including the approach after dark. Replace a dead bulb. Fixture rewiring belongs to an electrician.

Porch and path lights work for an evening or late-afternoon event: Done, Skip, or N/A

Trash and recycle cans moved out of the first photo frame

Cans at the curb or in a side yard beat a pair of lids in the walk shot. Do this after the last pickup, not days earlier.

Trash and recycle cans moved out of the first photo frame: Done, Skip, or N/A

Front door, hardware, and door mat wiped and ready

NAR showing list: wipe handles, knobs, and doors. The first surface visitors touch should not show breakfast fingerprints.

Front door, hardware, and door mat wiped and ready: Done, Skip, or N/A

Doors needed for the tour unlocked; unused exterior doors stay locked

NAR open-house notes: walk the property and unlock doors you will use. Lock side, garage-to-yard, and unused entries so traffic stays on one path.

Doors needed for the tour unlocked; unused exterior doors stay locked: Done, Skip, or N/A

Inspection station

Lights and daylight

NAR's final check: open all window treatments and turn on all the lights, even in daylight. This station is the show-day light walk, not a fixture upgrade.

7 items
Lights and daylight

All window treatments opened so daylight reaches each shown room

NAR: open all the window treatments. Raise blinds and pull drapes unless a view is worse than the wall. Leave one fire-egress window usable.

All window treatments opened so daylight reaches each shown room: Done, Skip, or N/A

Every interior light on, including table lamps and closet lights on the tour

NAR: turn on all the lights, even in broad daylight. A dark corner reads as a small room. Closets buyers will open get a working bulb too.

Every interior light on, including table lamps and closet lights on the tour: Done, Skip, or N/A

Burned-out bulbs replaced in rooms visitors will enter

NAR better-showing list: replace burnt bulbs. ENERGY STAR: shop by lumens, not watts. About 800 lumens matches a common 60-watt look. That is a replace-the-bulb tip, not a listing pass or fail.

Burned-out bulbs replaced in rooms visitors will enter: Done, Skip, or N/A

Dark halls, stairs, and windowless rooms have a working lamp or ceiling light

NAR better-showing list: consider more light in low-light areas. A working lamp is enough for today. Recessed-can installs are out of scope.

Dark halls, stairs, and windowless rooms have a working lamp or ceiling light: Done, Skip, or N/A

Entry and porch lights confirmed on if the event runs into late afternoon or evening

Test the approach even if you start the walk in daylight. NAR safety tips also want lights on before anyone enters after dark.

Entry and porch lights confirmed on if the event runs into late afternoon or evening: Done, Skip, or N/A

Dimmers and LEDs in shown rooms actually light, with no dead or flickering pair

ENERGY STAR: not every LED works with every dimmer. If a pair flickers, swap the bulb or leave that fixture fully on. Do not rewire a dimmer from this form.

Dimmers and LEDs in shown rooms actually light, with no dead or flickering pair: Done, Skip, or N/A

Rooms marked private stay closed; rooms on the tour are fully lit

Do not light a locked office you will not show. Do light every room, closet, and stair that visitors may enter.

Rooms marked private stay closed; rooms on the tour are fully lit: Done, Skip, or N/A

Inspection station

Odor and air

Walk the house with the HVAC fan on. This is a nose check, not a mold, sewer, or indoor-air inspection.

7 items
Odor and air

No strong-odor cooking in the hours before the open house

NAR showing list: neutralize odors and refrain from cooking foods with strong odors before a showing. Fry, fish, and heavy spice linger.

No strong-odor cooking in the hours before the open house: Done, Skip, or N/A

Indoor trash and recycling emptied, and the bin wiped if it smells

Empty kitchen and bath cans before the first visitor. A clean liner is enough; do not perfume a sour bin.

Indoor trash and recycling emptied, and the bin wiped if it smells: Done, Skip, or N/A

Pet odor, litter boxes, and known accident spots addressed

NAR: buyers may have allergies. Scoop or remove litter. Treat a known spot. Write a leftover smell in Notes instead of covering it.

Pet odor, litter boxes, and known accident spots addressed: Done, Skip, or N/A

Only a light, optional scent if you use one; no heavy spray

NAR optional touch mentions a mild potpourri idea. NAR better-showing list also names a sniff test. Skip heavy candles and room spray.

Only a light, optional scent if you use one; no heavy spray: Done, Skip, or N/A

Laundry hampers emptied or closed behind a door

An open hamper in a shown bath or bedroom is both odor and clutter. Close it or move it off the tour path.

Laundry hampers emptied or closed behind a door: Done, Skip, or N/A

Rooms aired briefly before doors open if outdoor air is decent

NAR better-showing list: open windows to air out the house. Skip this in rain, wildfire smoke, or if you have already secured the house.

Rooms aired briefly before doors open if outdoor air is decent: Done, Skip, or N/A

Indoor temperature set to a comfortable showing range

NAR better-showing list: maximize comfort (seasonal airflow). Do not invent a pass or fail temperature on this form. Write a stuck thermostat in Notes.

Indoor temperature set to a comfortable showing range: Done, Skip, or N/A

Inspection station

Last-hour room reset

NAR's 15 things to do before every showing. Use this after the house is already staged. Closet packing, furniture scale, and paint belong on a staging walk, not here.

9 items
Last-hour room reset

Beds made; toys, clothes, dishes, and papers picked up

NAR showing list: pick up. Be sure beds are made and toys, clothes, and other articles are put away. This is the last-hour pass.

Beds made; toys, clothes, dishes, and papers picked up: Done, Skip, or N/A

Kitchen counters cleared; only one or two large daily items left out

High-traffic handles, knobs, and appliance doors wiped: Done, Skip, or N/A

Refrigerator glance: shelves neat, no overdue leftovers on display

NAR: buyers will open the refrigerator. A same-day tidy is enough. This is not an appliance inspection.

Refrigerator glance: shelves neat, no overdue leftovers on display: Done, Skip, or N/A

Used towels swapped for clean staging towels in every shown bath

NAR: put away the towels you use and put up clean staging towels. Half baths count.

Used towels swapped for clean staging towels in every shown bath: Done, Skip, or N/A

Bath and entry mirrors wiped of spots and film

NAR: wipe mirrors so smudge marks are gone. Toothpaste film on a vanity mirror photographs poorly.

Bath and entry mirrors wiped of spots and film: Done, Skip, or N/A

Bath counters cleared; toiletries packed in a drawer or caddy

NAR showing list and better-showing list: clear bath counters and put personal toiletries out of sight. Medicines belong on the valuables and safety stations.

Dining tables, side tables, and visible shelves given a last wipe

NAR: wipe dining tables, tea tables, side tables, and bookshelves where dust may be visible.

Dining tables, side tables, and visible shelves given a last wipe: Done, Skip, or N/A

Kitchen and bath sinks empty and wiped

An empty basin is the last-hour look. A drying rack full of dishes is still clutter.

Kitchen and bath sinks empty and wiped: Done, Skip, or N/A

Inspection station

Pets, household, and alarm

NAR groups pets and the alarm on the same final check. Mark N/A on a vacant house with no pets and no alarm, then still confirm the seller is not staying.

6 items
Pets, household, and alarm

Pets removed from the property for the open house

NAR showing list: take your pets with you. Buyers may have allergies or other reasons for avoiding pets. Off site is the first choice.

Pets removed from the property for the open house: Done, Skip, or N/A

If pets cannot leave: crated or confined off the tour path, and the host told where they are

NAR better-showing list: send pets to a neighbor if you can. If not, crate or confine them to one room and tell the agent where they will be. Mark N/A if pets are already off site.

If pets cannot leave: crated or confined off the tour path, and the host told where they are: Done, Skip, or N/A

Bowls, litter, crates, gates, and leashes off the tour path

Pet gear in a living room is clutter and an allergy trigger. Park it in a closed laundry, garage, or the same off-tour room as a crate.

Bowls, litter, crates, gates, and leashes off the tour path: Done, Skip, or N/A

Seller and household leave before visitors arrive

NAR better-showing list: head out. It is awkward for everyone if you stay. Buyers talk more freely without the owner in the room.

Seller and household leave before visitors arrive: Done, Skip, or N/A

Someone stays until the hosting agent arrives so the house is not left open

Do not leave an unlocked, unattended listing. Wait for the host, then leave. Vacant houses: the host arrives first and unlocks.

Someone stays until the hosting agent arrives so the house is not left open: Done, Skip, or N/A

Alarm disabled or a showing plan given to the host

NAR: disable the alarm. A siren during a tour ends the visit. Write the plan in Notes. Do not print a passcode on a PDF you will email or leave on the counter.

Alarm disabled or a showing plan given to the host: Done, Skip, or N/A

Inspection station

Valuables and privacy

NAR showing list, open-house page, and safety tips all treat strangers in the house as a theft and identity risk. Remove what you can. Do not write safe locations or codes on this form.

8 items
Valuables and privacy

NAR showing list: hide jewelry and other valuables. NAR safety tip 33 also names crystal, furs, and similar pocketable goods.

Spare keys, credit cards, and access fobs removed or locked

Spare keys, credit cards, and access fobs removed or locked: Done, Skip, or N/A

Desktop screens locked; browsers and family calendars not left open

NAR safety tip 19: lock down your computer. School calendars and travel plans tell strangers when the house is empty later.

Quick photos of shown rooms taken before doors open: Done, Skip, or N/A

Inspection station

Child and visitor safety

Open houses bring unknown adults and sometimes children. CPSC poison and childproofing steps apply to what visitors can reach today. This is not a full childproofing inspection.

8 items
Child and visitor safety

Medicines in a locked cabinet or box, out of sight and reach

CPSC poison prevention: keep medications in a locked cabinet or box, in original child-resistant containers. CPSC childproofing: child-resistant packaging is often not childproof. Poison Control is 800-222-1222.

Medicines in a locked cabinet or box, out of sight and reach: Done, Skip, or N/A

Cleaning supplies and laundry packets in original containers, locked up

CPSC: store chemicals, cleaning supplies, and laundry packets in original containers, locked and out of a child's sight and reach. Do not leave packets on an open laundry shelf.

Cleaning supplies and laundry packets in original containers, locked up: Done, Skip, or N/A

Knives, matches, and lighters not left on open counters

CPSC childproofing: cabinet latches help keep children from medicines, laundry detergent, cleaners, matches, lighters, and knives. A same-day drawer close is the open-house version.

Knives, matches, and lighters not left on open counters: Done, Skip, or N/A

Pool or spa barrier back in place; doors to the water closed

CPSC: use layers of protection around pools and spas, including self-closing, self-latching gates and doors. Reestablish the barrier after any morning use. Mark N/A if there is no pool or spa.

Pool or spa barrier back in place; doors to the water closed: Done, Skip, or N/A

Off-tour rooms closed or locked; no hide spots left open

NAR: the end of an open house is a common time for someone to remain inside. Close unused bedrooms, basement storage, and attic hatches you will not show.

Off-tour rooms closed or locked; no hide spots left open: Done, Skip, or N/A

Climb bait off dresser and TV tops if children may tour

CPSC childproofing: furniture, TVs, and ranges can tip when children climb. For a same-day event, take tempting objects off the tops. Permanent anti-tip hardware is a staging or safety project, not this walk.

Climb bait off dresser and TV tops if children may tour: Done, Skip, or N/A

Loose button or coin batteries and open battery toys put away

CPSC: keep products with accessible button batteries away from children if the compartment lacks a screw closure or is damaged. A toy bowl on a coffee table is a day-of hazard.

Loose button or coin batteries and open battery toys put away: Done, Skip, or N/A

Buckets, tubs, and decorative water left empty if children may visit

CPSC childproofing and home-safe notes: young children can drown in small amounts of water, including buckets. Empty mop buckets and close toilet lids in shown baths if kids may attend.

Buckets, tubs, and decorative water left empty if children may visit: Done, Skip, or N/A

Inspection station

Flyers, signs, and welcome

NAR's open-house page asks for a flyer with homeowner facts such as heating and utility costs. This is marketing copy, not a disclosure form.

8 items
Flyers, signs, and welcome

Property flyer printed or stacked, with heating and utility facts the seller provided

NAR open houses: create a flyer with important information from the homeowner, such as heating and utility costs. Use numbers the seller gave you. Do not invent bills.

Property flyer printed or stacked, with heating and utility facts the seller provided: Done, Skip, or N/A

Enough flyers for the expected traffic, plus a few extras

A stacked pile at the sign-in spot beats a host digging in a bag. Write the count in Notes if you want a restock reminder.

Enough flyers for the expected traffic, plus a few extras: Done, Skip, or N/A

Directional and yard signs placed where visitors can find the house

Open-house traffic starts at the corner, not the porch. Follow local sign rules. Collect the signs on the lock-up station.

Directional and yard signs placed where visitors can find the house: Done, Skip, or N/A

Paper or digital sign-in sheet ready at the entry

NAR safety tip 42 uses a guest register (name, address, phone, email, vehicle) at model homes. A simple open-house log is the same idea: know who is inside.

Paper or digital sign-in sheet ready at the entry: Done, Skip, or N/A

Host company ID visible; business cards at the sign-in spot

NAR safety tip 10: wear visible company identification and carry photo ID. Visitors should be able to tell who is hosting.

Host company ID visible; business cards at the sign-in spot: Done, Skip, or N/A

Optional water or a simple tray left only if the seller and host agreed

NAR showing list optional touch: cookies and water. Skip food if allergy, scent, or crumbs are a concern. Mark Skip if you will not serve anything.

Optional water or a simple tray left only if the seller and host agreed: Done, Skip, or N/A

No lockbox, alarm, gate, or Wi-Fi codes printed on the flyer or a counter card

NAR open houses: do not give out garage or door codes. A flyer that leaves the house should not carry access secrets.

No lockbox, alarm, gate, or Wi-Fi codes printed on the flyer or a counter card: Done, Skip, or N/A

Feature list or office handouts the listing broker approved, not a homemade legal form

NAR's consumer guide on open houses and written agreements is about buyer-broker paperwork, not a seller disclosure you draft on the fly. Use the sheets your office already uses.

Feature list or office handouts the listing broker approved, not a homemade legal form: Done, Skip, or N/A

Inspection station

Sign-in and access

NAR: ask for identification, do not give out garage or door codes, and limit how many people are in the house. A visitor who only attends an open house does not need a written buyer agreement just to walk through. State and brokerage rules vary.

7 items
Sign-in and access

Every adult visitor asked to sign in before they walk the house

A name and contact on paper or a tablet helps the host know who is on the property. Signing is a safety practice, not a federal requirement.

Every adult visitor asked to sign in before they walk the house: Done, Skip, or N/A

Identification requested at the door

NAR open houses: ask for identification. NAR safety tip 2 describes a prospect identification form and a photocopy of a driver's license kept at the office, then discarded when no longer needed.

Identification requested at the door: Done, Skip, or N/A

Number of people inside limited so the host can see the group

NAR safety tip 47: control traffic and limit how many people are in the house at once. Groups arriving late in the event are a known theft pattern.

Number of people inside limited so the host can see the group: Done, Skip, or N/A

Garage, door, and gate codes not given to visitors

NAR open houses: do not give out garage or door codes. The host unlocks. Visitors do not take a code home.

Garage, door, and gate codes not given to visitors: Done, Skip, or N/A

One public entry used; other exterior doors stay locked during the event

A single door lets the host greet and sign people in. A propped side door is how a second person enters unseen.

One public entry used; other exterior doors stay locked during the event: Done, Skip, or N/A

A neighbor told the hours and asked to watch for anything unusual

NAR safety tip 44: inform a neighbor that you will host an open house and ask them to keep an eye and ear open.

A neighbor told the hours and asked to watch for anything unusual: Done, Skip, or N/A

Host ready to explain that walking this open house alone does not require a written buyer agreement

NAR consumer guide (as of Aug. 17, 2024): a visitor attending an open house on their own does not need a written buyer agreement just to tour. Practices still vary by state and by what 'working with' an agent means. Do not present this row as legal advice.

Host ready to explain that walking this open house alone does not require a written buyer agreement: Done, Skip, or N/A

Inspection station

Host safety walk

NAR's REALTOR Safety Program. These rows are for the person hosting, not a seller-only walk. Mark N/A if the seller is filling this form before the agent arrives and cannot complete a host row.

7 items
Host safety walk

Buddy or office check-in set, with a time they will call if you do not

Buddy or office check-in set, with a time they will call if you do not: Done, Skip, or N/A

At least two ways out of each shown room identified before doors open

Plan to walk behind visitors and keep a path to the exit

NAR safety tip 11: have the prospect walk in front of you, and direct them from about three to four arm lengths behind. Do not get boxed into a bedroom.

Plan to walk behind visitors and keep a path to the exit: Done, Skip, or N/A

Host vehicle parked at the curb, not blocking or blocked in the driveway

NAR safety tip 37: park in front of the property rather than in the driveway so you are not blocked in.

Host vehicle parked at the curb, not blocking or blocked in the driveway: Done, Skip, or N/A

Phone charged; cell coverage at the house confirmed

NAR safety tips 15 and 53: check cell service before the appointment. If coverage is poor, take a buddy. Pre-program office and 911.

Phone charged; cell coverage at the house confirmed: Done, Skip, or N/A

Event scheduled in daylight when the listing allows it

NAR safety tip 1: show properties before dark when you can. If the event runs late, turn lights on before anyone enters and tell the office the later end time.

Event scheduled in daylight when the listing allows it: Done, Skip, or N/A

End-of-event sweep planned with a colleague, including closets, showers, and the yard

NAR: the end of an open house is often the most dangerous time for a solo host. Safety tip 5: do not assume everyone has left. Check all rooms and the backyard before you lock.

End-of-event sweep planned with a colleague, including closets, showers, and the yard: Done, Skip, or N/A

Inspection station

Close-out and lock-up

Do this after the last visitor, with a buddy on site or on the phone. NAR asks the seller to double-check locks on return.

9 items
Close-out and lock-up

Every room, closet, shower, and hiding spot checked after the last visitor

NAR open houses and safety tip 5: people can remain in drapes, closets, or showers. Talk to someone on the phone while you check.

Every room, closet, shower, and hiding spot checked after the last visitor: Done, Skip, or N/A

Backyard, side yard, and detached spaces checked

NAR safety tip 5 includes the backyard. Garages, sheds, and side yards are part of the same pass.

Backyard, side yard, and detached spaces checked: Done, Skip, or N/A

All exterior doors and windows locked, including ones you opened for light

Treatments you opened still have sashes to lock. Check sliders, garage man-doors, and basement wells.

All exterior doors and windows locked, including ones you opened for light: Done, Skip, or N/A

Alarm reset or armed per the seller plan

If you disabled it for the event, turn it back on. Do not write the code in Notes on a file you will share.

Alarm reset or armed per the seller plan: Done, Skip, or N/A

Shown rooms compared to the pre-event photos

NAR open-house notes: photos let you spot missing items after visitors leave. Write anything missing in sign-off. Call the seller and, if needed, the police.

Shown rooms compared to the pre-event photos: Done, Skip, or N/A

Seller told to double-check locks and scout for missing items on return

NAR safety tip 48: make sellers your safety partners. They should immediately double-check locks and look for missing items when they get home.

Seller told to double-check locks and scout for missing items on return: Done, Skip, or N/A

Directional and yard signs collected

Signs left overnight advertise an empty, just-shown house. Bring them in on this pass.

Directional and yard signs collected: Done, Skip, or N/A

Interior lights returned to the after-hours plan

Leave porch or timer lights as the seller asked. Turn off the rest so the house does not look occupied when it is empty.

Interior lights returned to the after-hours plan: Done, Skip, or N/A

Approximate attendance written for the listing file

A count plus the sign-in sheet is enough. This is a host note, not an MLS form.

Approximate attendance written for the listing file: Done, Skip, or N/A
