ohm quick start — your first open house in 5 minutes

By the end of this page you'll have a live open house with a QR code, a printable table tent, and a kiosk ready for the door. Nothing here requires IT help, an app install, or a credit card — ohm is free to use.

Before you start

An iPad for the entry table is nice but optional — the printed table tent alone works (visitors scan and sign in on their own phones).
Have your seller's email handy. They're who the report goes to.

Go to ohm.sum28.com/app/login and sign in with your Sum28 account — the same account works across ohm and p2d. First time? Create the account right there with your email and a password.

Then open settings once: confirm your name, DRE license number, and brokerage. These appear on visitor consent text and on the seller report, so it pays to get them right on day one.

2 · Create the open house

Tap + new open house.

The home. Enter the address — or type the MLS number and tap pull from mls to fill address, beds, baths, square footage, and list price automatically.
Your seller. Name and email. This is who receives the report; you can change it later.
When. Pick the date and start/end time.
Tap create open house.

That's the whole form. Photos and description can wait — they never block creating the event.

3 · Take your materials

The moment the open house exists, ohm has already made your kit:

QR code — tap show qr full screen to display it large on any screen, straight from your phone.
Table tent PDF — tap download PDF for a print-ready card: address, QR code, ohm's paper-and-ink look. Print it, fold it, stand it by the door. If you have no iPad, this card is your hardware.
Kiosk link — on the iPad you'll leave at the entry, open the event and tap open kiosk on this device. Add it to the home screen or use Safari full screen.

4 · Add the listing's materials (optional, worth it)

On the listing page, add photos, a description, and a Matterport or video link, then tap save materials. Everything a visitor receives — the packet email, the text message, the landing page — is assembled from these automatically. Update them once; every future open house on this listing inherits them.

Writing the description is p2d's job — see lesson 5.

5 · Open the doors

On the day:

Stand the table tent by the door; prop the iPad next to it if you have one.
A visitor taps the iPad (or scans the code), gives name, phone, email — three fields, about 30 seconds — and is done. The globe in the corner switches the whole flow between English, Spanish, Chinese, Korean, and Vietnamese.
The packet reaches their phone immediately, by email and text.
No Wi-Fi? Sign-ins queue on the device and sync when the connection returns. Visitors never see an error.

Signing in is never a condition of entry — someone who walks past the iPad is still welcome, and the kiosk never nags.

6 · Watch it live

Your phone shows the running sign-in count and the roster as people arrive — who, when, and whether they used the kiosk or scanned the code. Tap a name for contact details.

7 · Close, then send the report

When the last visitor leaves, tap end open house. Then:

Tap generate report — it takes seconds.
Preview it. You see exactly what your seller will see: visitors measured, packets delivered and opened, where sign-ins came from — and, from your second open house on, the trend against last time.
Add a short letter to your seller if you like. Two honest sentences beat ten adjectives.
Tap send to seller. You'll see when it's opened.

The report contains aggregate numbers only — never your visitors' names or contacts. The roster is yours; export csv any time.

Next weekend

Running the same home again? Tap + new open house, pick the same listing, choose the new time. Photos, description, and links live on the listing, so the new event — and its packet — inherits them all automatically.
