Openhometimes.co.nz is New Zealand’s first agent-only dedicated open home web search and text service, developed for both the real estate trade and homebuyers.

Our convenient service promises to take the pain out of viewing homes by ensuring you have the correct date, time and location of all the open homes in your desired areas.

We also let you know if the open home you plan to attend is cancelled by text or email to save you wasting precious time.

As a potential buyer you are able to easily sort you preferred open home visits using a shortlist and mapping tools so you are able to schedule your weekend efficiently. An email reminder is then sent through by the website on Friday morning about your saved open home schedule for that weekend.

Licensed real estate offices and agents can subscribe to the website and upload current open home times. They can also keep interested buyers updated on the latest houses listed, open home times and last minute cancellations with email and text alert options.

Openhometimes.co.nz is the brainchild of Sarah Lamb, a project management specialist with close family ties in real estate and a background managing technical teams and user-centered design.

Sarah’s 10 year career in online marketing and strategic communication gives her the advantage of thinking of online opportunities from the start rather than later discovering that the functionality of the site doesn’t support or enhance the business.

Sarah began working on the idea for openhometimes.co.nz after discussions with real estate agents and home buyers who outlined their frustration at the lack of centralised and up-to-date information. As a result the website and its unique functionality was developed in close consultation with both parties to ensure openhometimes.co.nz provides relevant and user friendly tools and information.
