Picture this; a quiet suburb street with a home for sale. Suddenly, on a very quiet weekend day, there are several cars coming up and down the street for a few hours. What are they doing?
They are visiting the house for sale which is being held open for a few hours.
The open house is hosted by a real estate agent. Out of curiosity, you decide to visit this home. Now, a professional real estate agent will usually have a registry for visitors to sign. It's usually a three-ring binder or a sheet of paper where you get to scribble your name and put down an email address that may or may not be yours.
This obviously does not serve the agent any good because there is no real information on the registry about who visited this home or who is interested in this home.
This is where technology comes in and saves the day.
With easy open house guests can register online with a QR code - a very effective and quick process. It's almost as if it is seamless natural and something we should have been doing a long time ago!
For the open house visitors, once they become registered with this open house, they become registered to sign into other open houses using our platform.
This ensures that customers' data is never compromised on a sheet of paper that could easily be photographed by other visitors. It also means that the real estate agent doesn't have to spend countless time transcribing or doing data entry getting that registration paper into their database of potential customers.
If you are the Open House visitor, not every agent gets to see your information. The agent gets a way to view visitor feedback and let the homeowner know what visitors thought of their home.
In turn, this helps the homeowner down the street make sure that the visitors are potential buyers or interested in your neighborhood while keeping track of visitors who have the best of intentions or not.
For the agent it provides a layer of security and helps clear up any confusion as to who the buyer is or who is representing the buyer if they merely saw the home only by visiting an open house without an agent.
Ultimately, the broker is more informed on what is going on with the home for sale and can monitor the listing and all the visitors that have walked in during the open house. This ensures the neighborhood and you, the neighbor, have a reputable listing agent and broker responsible for selling the home. Open House visitors are also going to be more respectful of registering properly for the open house.
Fortunately, Easy Open House does not cost visitors anything. As for the real estate agent holding the open house, there is a monthly fee that ensures that the agent has appropriate information on all of the visitors that day.
