Where the signs, water and brochures live between the car and the door.
Verdict
The organizer keeps the car sane; the cart saves your back on the day. They solve different halves of the same problem. A collapsible trunk organizer stops signs, stakes, water and brochures sliding around all week and costs about thirteen dollars. A rolling cart turns three trips from the car into one, which matters when you are setting up an open house alone. Start with the organizer, add the cart if you are regularly carrying a full kit any distance.

Your problem is that the trunk is chaos and nothing is where you left it. A collapsible organizer with a lid keeps stakes away from brochures and stops a case of water rolling into the sign panels. It folds flat when you need the space for something else, which a cart never does.

Your problem is the walk from the car to the door with four signs, a case of water, a tablet and a box of flyers. A three tier cart makes that one trip. Understand what you are giving up: it takes real trunk space permanently, and it is close to useless on steps or on a soft lawn.

Signs and stakes, directional arrows, a mallet, sign-in materials and a backup paper sheet, brochures, business cards, shoe covers or a runner, water, a phone charger, cleaning wipes and paper towels. The mallet and the backup paper sheet are the two most often forgotten.
If you hold open houses more than occasionally, yes. The point is not the container, it is that a packed kit removes the forgot the stakes failure, which costs you an hour and sometimes the traffic.
A hand truck moves heavier loads and handles a kerb better, but it carries boxes rather than loose items and needs everything packed first. For mixed small items, the tiered cart is faster to load and unload.
