Editable Canva Templates for Real Estate Agents
Open House Instagram Templates
Promote one open house from announcement to thank-you.
You’ve got an open house this weekend. Filling it means promoting it the whole way through — announce it, remind people as it gets close, post when the doors open, and thank everyone after. This kit is a matched Canva sequence built to do exactly that, in posts and stories.
Drop in your date, time, and address, and post the run. The time-sensitive reminders live in your stories, so you fill the event without spamming your feed — only the announcement and the thank-you go to your grid. Use the beats your event needs; not every open house needs every reminder.
What this kit helps you do
An open house fills when people actually hear about it — not once, but on a rhythm as the date approaches and the doors open. This kit gives you that rhythm without designing a new post for every reminder.
Use it to:
- announce the open house and put the date on people’s radar
- remind your audience the day before and the morning of
- post live updates while the doors are open — Open Now, Last Chance
- thank visitors after and keep the listing looking active
- keep the reminders in stories so your feed stays clean
Who this is for
Best for agents who hold open houses and want to promote them consistently, without designing a new post every time or filling their feed with reminders.
A good fit if you:
- want a repeatable way to promote each open house from announcement to thank-you
- want the time-sensitive reminders in stories, not on your grid
- promote your events yourself and want each run to look consistent
- are comfortable dropping the date, time, and address into a Canva template
Not ideal if:
- you want posts written, scheduled, and published for you — these are editable templates you post yourself, not a posting service or automation
- you need to capture visitor info or collect feedback at the door — that’s the QR Sign-In and Feedback Form; this kit handles promotion, not capture
- you want the full sale campaign from Coming Soon to Just Sold — that’s the Listing Social Media Kit; this kit is the open-house event sequence
What’s included
8 editable Canva templates, all sharing one consistent look — 2 feed posts for the grid and 6 stories for the time-sensitive reminders:
- 2 Instagram feed posts — 1080 × 1350 (Announcement + Thank You)
- 6 Instagram stories — 1080 × 1920
The event beats:
- Open House This Weekend — the announcement
- Tomorrow — countdown reminder
- Today
- Open Now
- Last Chance
- Thank You
Also included:
- 6 short caption starters — one editable starter per beat, to give each post a first line you can edit. These are short prompts, not a full caption calendar.
- One-page usage note — how to run the sequence, including a tip for adding Instagram’s countdown sticker to the reminders.
- PDF delivery file with your Canva template link.
You make your own copies in Canva, drop in the event details, apply your brand color, and reuse the kit for your next open house.
A look at the sequence
Announcement and thank-you on the grid; reminders in stories.
How it works
1. Open the template link in Canva.
Open the link and make your own editable copies. Works with a free Canva account.
2. Add your listing photo — or skip it.
Drop in the listing image, or leave it off; several beats are built to work with no photo.
3. Edit the event details.
Update the date, time, address, and open-house details.
4. Match it to your brand.
Change the accent color to your brand using Canva’s color tools.
5. Add your agent and brokerage details.
Update your name, brokerage, and contact information.
6. Download and post.
Export as PNG or JPG and post — the two feed posts to your grid, the reminders to your story. Use the beats that fit the event.
Why a matched sequence beats one-off posts
A single “open house this weekend” post rarely fills an event — people see it once and forget. What fills an open house is a steady run of reminders as the date gets closer, and that’s exactly the run most agents skip because building each reminder takes time. A matched sequence fixes that: the beats are already built and consistent, so you drop in the details and post on schedule. And because the time-sensitive reminders live in stories, you can post Tomorrow, Today, Open Now, and Last Chance without burying your grid — only the announcement and the thank-you stay on it.
Works well with
This kit handles open-house promotion — getting people to the door. Promotion, capture, and follow-up together make the full open-house workflow, and the rest of the Open House lane covers the other two:
- the Open House QR Sign-In — capture visitor info at the door
- the Open House Feedback Form — collect impressions after the tour
- the Open House Follow-Up Tracker — work the leads afterward
It also pairs with the Listing Social Media Kit, which carries the whole sale from Coming Soon to Just Sold and includes one open-house beat — this kit is the full open-house event sequence. Each is sold separately, and this kit works on its own.
Compatibility and setup notes
These are static Canva templates for promoting an open house — a free Canva account is all you need to edit them. They’re sized for Instagram: 1080 × 1350 feed posts and 1080 × 1920 stories. The kit does not connect to MLS data, listing portals, schedulers, or social accounts. You edit each template, download it, and post through your own accounts — there’s no scheduling or auto-posting built in. This kit handles promotion, driving attendance; it is not a sign-in, signage, or feedback product — those handle what happens at the door. The caption starters are short editable prompts, not a full caption calendar, hashtag strategy, or Reels and video scripts. It’s a digital product; nothing physical ships, and you reuse the kit on your own. Always review event details, pricing, and brokerage requirements before publishing.
Common questions
Do I need Canva Pro?
No. The templates edit on Canva’s free plan.
Are these scheduled or posted for me?
No. You edit each post and put it up yourself (or in your own scheduler). The kit doesn’t connect to your social accounts and isn’t a posting service.
Why are most of the beats stories instead of feed posts?
The reminders are time-sensitive — Tomorrow, Today, Open Now, Last Chance — so they live in your stories and disappear after a day, keeping your feed clean. Only the Announcement and the Thank You are feed posts for your grid.
Do I have to use all the beats?
No. Use the beats that fit your event. Not every open house needs every reminder.
Does this capture sign-ins or collect feedback?
No. This kit is promotion — getting people to the event. For capture and follow-up, the Open House QR Sign-In, Feedback Form, and Follow-Up Tracker handle what happens at the door and after.
Can I use these without a photo?
Yes. Several beats are built to work with no photo at all. The usage note also includes a tip for adding Instagram’s countdown sticker to the reminders.
