The Realtor's Guide to Automating Open House Leads

Paper sign-in sheets are where leads go to die. Here is how top agents use QR codes and DM automation to capture 100% of visitors.

It's Sunday afternoon. 30 people walked through your listing. You have 5 scribbled names on a piece of paper. You can't read 3 of them. Sound familiar?

The QR Code Strategy

Put a QR code at the entrance. "Scan for Price, Photos & Disclosures."

QR

The Flow

Scan QR > Opens Instagram DM > Sends Keyword "OPENHOUSE"

When they scan, it opens their Instagram DM with a pre-filled message. They hit send, and PostEngage.ai takes over.

Instant Follow-Up

While they are walking through the kitchen, your AI agent sends them the full property PDF and asks:

"Welcome to 123 Main St! I just sent you the brochure. What do you think of the kitchen renovation?"

This engages them immediately while their interest is highest.

Buyer or Lookie-Loo?

PostEngage can ask qualification questions automatically:

  • "Are you working with an agent?"
  • "Are you pre-approved?"
  • "When are you looking to move?"

If they answer "No agent" and "Pre-approved", you get a notification: HOT LEAD. Go find them in the living room and introduce yourself.
