QR Codes – the future of Real Estate for Realtors

So this afternoon my mother and I went to downtown Bethesda for dinner on the way home from work.  We were supposed to eat a Sweet Green but in the end decided on Redwood (who offer an incredible hamburger).  While thats not important the reason for my post was that something unique caught my eye on the back of an employee’s shirt walking out of SG.  Its something my friend @lafauce has been talking about for a while and really motivating me to adopt in our pursuit of technological adoption.  QR Codes.

According to SearchEngineLand.com “They come to us from Japan where they are very common. QR is short for Quick Response (they can be read quickly by a cell phone). They are used to take a piece of information from a transitory media and put it in to your cell phone. You may soon see QR Codes in a magazine advert, on a billboard, a web page or even on someone’s t-shirt. Once it is in your cell phone, it may give you details about that business (allowing users to search for nearby locations), or details about the person wearing the t-shirt, show you a URL which you can click to see a trailer for a movie, or it may give you a coupon which you can use in a local outlet.”

What intrigues me most is their application in real estate on listings, real estate signs in the street, open house announcements, photos of the interior of a home, etc.  Its really intriguing technology that I hope to adopt as rapidly as possible and recommend other Realtors out there do as well.
