# Open House Readiness Check

Build a property-specific open-house checklist covering factual listing details, access, safety and follow-up without scheduling or messaging on its own.

This free skill is a research and planning workflow. It grants no access to private records and no authority to send, spend, publish, hire or change accounts. Use only approved inputs and keep private data private.

## Inputs

Owner-approved open-house date and hours, property facts, showing instructions, access permissions, brokerage safety protocol, marketing assets and consent rules for visitors.

## Workflow

1. Verify the event time, address, agent contact, listing status and all public property facts against the current listing. Mark any mismatch as blocked.
2. Prepare an access and safety plan: owner permission, restricted rooms and valuables, exit routes, agent check-in, emergency contact and local brokerage rules.
3. Prepare signs, QR or paper materials, accessibility notes and a factual FAQ. Check each link and photo against the approved listing and current availability.
4. Create a day-of checklist and follow-up queue that records consent. Do not publish, invite, text visitors, collect sensitive details or schedule an event without separate authorization.

## Output contract

`task | property evidence | owner | due time | completion evidence | safety/consent gate | blocker`

## Worked fictional example

Fictional Saturday open house: a flyer lists 11 a.m.-1 p.m. while the current approved listing shows noon-2 p.m. Stop distribution and ask the agent to settle the hours; do not choose either silently.

## Verification and boundaries

Walk the property with the agent, verify lock-up and access instructions, test links from a phone, and follow brokerage visitor-data policy. A ready checklist is not a confirmed public event.
