QR CODES
The latest technology being used to market your home
By: Linda Cardoso
Have you wondered about the black “bar code” squares arranged on a white background cropping up everywhere from billboards to bus sides and a variety of other media? It’s called a QR CODE which is short for “Quick Response” code.
When captured by a smart phone camera this “bar code” takes you almost instantly to a URL or text message. Now instead of messy flyer boxes attached to a Real Estate “FOR SALE” sign, a QR CODE on the sign can deliver high tech instant information about a property. While QR is still in an “early adopter” phase in the US, this technology has had a HUGE uptake in Japan and South Korea. This may be a perfect time to speak to a Japanese audience in a familiar technology.
Check out the QR Code being used on my Hollywood Hills listing. The code is on the For Sale sign and can be captured right from someone’s car!
