The open house sign-in people actually want to fill out.

Paper gets walked past. A fair trade gets filled out.

The clipboard by the door fails two ways: visitors drift past it, and the ones who do sign have no reason to write their real number — a paper sheet gives them nothing back, and shows them everyone who came before. Ace's Open House Sign-In flips the exchange. The visitor scans a QR, taps in their details, and the Home File lands in their inbox the instant they sign in — a hosted dossier for the home: your price, facts and highlights, live public-data context (flood, wildfire and seismic exposure, the area's price trend, a neighborhood profile), this week's average mortgage rate with an interactive payment playground, and any documents you attach, like a recent-sales sheet. The file only arrives if the email is real, so visitors police their own data. You stop collecting names and start collecting reachable people.

The paper sign-in sheet

• Easy to walk straight past on a busy Saturday
• Nothing in it for the visitor — so fake names and dead numbers
• Every visitor can read the previous visitors' details
• Handwriting to decipher and re-type back at the office

The Ace Open House Sign-In

• A genuine trade: sign in, get the Home File instantly
• Real info — the file only arrives if the email is real
• Everyone signs in on their own phone; nobody sees anyone else
• The lead is in Follow Up Boss before the tour ends

Three ways to run the door.

Their own phone

Door-sign QR

Render a full-screen QR sign on a tablet at the entry, or print it for the door. Visitors scan with any phone camera and sign in on their own device — no app, no shared screen, no line.

Your iPad

Kiosk mode

Prefer a device at the door? Kiosk mode runs in the browser on the iPad you already own and resets itself seconds after each submission — ready for the next visitor, with the last one's details gone from the screen.

Before the event

Event page + RSVP

Every open house gets a promotion page — photos, price, the date with add-to-calendar, and a two-path RSVP ("I'll be there" / "send me the Home File"). Marketing the event builds your list before the door opens.

The Home File is a page, not a PDF.

Hosted, branded to you, and alive: your listing facts and highlights up top, then area data pulled from public and government sources (each section toggleable per home), the week's 30-year average rate, and a payment playground visitors can play with — price, down payment, term, rate — watching the monthly number move. Attach your own documents (a recent-sales sheet, a disclosures packet) and they're a tap away. And because it's a page worth sending, there's a share strip built in — text it, email it, post it — plus a "get updates on this home" sign-in link on every shared view, so when your visitors forward it to a friend, the friend becomes your lead too.

You leave with triaged leads, not names. Every sign-in answers the questions that decide your follow-up — buyer or neighbor, timeline, already working with an agent? — so you know who to call tonight, who to nurture, and which neighbors belong in seller follow-up. Then the follow-up runs itself: about two hours after sign-in, each visitor gets a personal-feeling email that adapts to their answers — hot buyers get asked to a private second tour, browsers get a soft first-look offer, neighbors get the "your street's value" framing, and visitors with an agent get a respectful version that keeps every rule. You can edit the timing and the copy; the defaults are built from what actually gets replies. And the next open house is one Clone click: the form, branding, and questions carry forward, the event window resets, and each event keeps its own lead list.

The BBQ moment, handled in ten seconds.

Someone at the cookout, the sidelines, the school fundraiser: "we're thinking of selling in the spring." Instead of digging for a card they'll lose, you open your personal Quick Connect link or QR from the Ace Companion. They enter their name and mobile on their own phone — about ten seconds — and the moment they submit, your contact card downloads to their phone. They get you; you get them — in Follow Up Boss. No app install, no account, no typing on your phone.

The 10-second debrief. Right after the exchange, add one line of context from the Companion — "met at the Alvarez BBQ, selling in spring" — and it lands on the Follow Up Boss timeline, so your first follow-up references the real conversation instead of a cold template.

Every other place you meet people, covered.

The same engine powers fully branded custom forms — buyer consults, guide downloads, RSVP lists — for your website (copy-paste embed), your bio link, or your email signature. Start from a template, brand it once, share it anywhere.

• Custom questions, your way. On any paid seat, ask what actually matters — text, dropdowns, yes/no, dates, numbers, up to 12 fields — with instant, forgiving validation on the visitor's phone.
• Conditional routing rules (Ace Pro / Ace Trove) — auto-assign leads by any answer: budget over a threshold goes to the luxury team, "not working with an agent" goes to the buyer's agent, "live nearby" goes to the listing agent with a Seller Watch tag. First matching rule wins, every time.
• Per-agent personal links. One team form, a personal link and QR for every roster member — leads captured through an agent's link are assigned to that agent in Follow Up Boss automatically (when direct assignment is enabled for the account).
• Team distribution in one click. Push every agent's personal link and QR — plus kiosk and door-sign assets for open houses — to the whole team from the admin dashboard. Field-ready, no design work.
• Design themes that don't fight your brand. Classic, Modern, or Elegant — the hosted page and the door sign pick up the theme, with your team logo rendered from your Branding Profile.
• Your Branding Profile, applied automatically. Set team name, logo, colors, and contact details once in Ace Settings; every form inherits them — and a form the agent builds for themselves in the Companion routes its leads to that agent, period.

Free for every account. Bigger with any paid seat.

Every tier, free included: consent-first capture, the instant Home File on open houses, the Quick Connect vCard, an email and Companion alert the moment a lead lands, and delivery into your Follow Up Boss. No per-lead fees, no separate sign-in app subscription.

Consent-first. RESPA-clean. Yours.

• Explicit consent on every form. Visitors tick a clear consent checkbox before anything is captured — no consent, no capture — and the consent record is stored with the lead.
• Everyone signs in on their own phone. No clipboard on the counter with the last ten visitors' names and numbers on display — each sign-in is private to the person signing it.
• Never sold, never shared with lenders. Some free sign-in apps pay for themselves by sharing your open-house leads with a sponsored lender. Ace Forms never sells, rents, or shares your sign-ins — with lenders or anyone else. RESPA-clean by design, not by settings page.
• Leads go to your Follow Up Boss — nowhere else. No shared pool, no resale, no third parties. Your open house, your leads, your CRM.

Four questions agents ask first.
