Are you familiar with QR (Quick Response) codes? Often used with real estate signs, they work like so: A small, square, barcodendash;like graphic is generated online. (You can easily generate one on our site.) That graphic points to a specific URL (such as your real estate company's website). You then design a real estate sign that includes the QR code and when a potential buyer snaps a picture of the graphic with their smartphone, they are automatically brought to the specified website. Cool huh!?
What can a QR code do for my real estate sign?
Think about it: your real estate sign isn't that big. You can fit your name, number, website and maybe a picture on it ndash; not much else. If a potential buyer is a little bit interested, they have to call you for more information or write down your website and go online later at home.
But let's say you've put a QR code in the corner of your real estate sign. That person who's only sort of interested figures they'll snap the code because, hey, it's easy! Immediately, they're brought to the website you've specified right on their phone. But it's not just a regular website. It takes them to a page with a virtual tour of the house you're selling.
So now instead of driving by without another thought, that potential buyer is in front of the house touring the interior and becoming more and more interested with every picture they see.
