QR Codes are Revolutionizing Real Estate What is a QR code?

A QR or Quick Response code, also known as a 2D barcode, gives users information on their smart phone or cell phone in an instant. In the simplest sense, think print-based link to web.

If you see these QR codes, you take a photo through an application on your smart phone or cell phone, the program analyzes or scans the barcode, and it asks if you’d like to be redirected to a web address/URL.

Can I use QR codes on my phone?

Because this technology is relatively new, there is no standard program or application for you to use. iPhones® and BlackBerrys® accommodate QR scanning applications quite easily and have very inexpensive (or even free) downloads available from their respective application stores.

Even some cell phones allow it.

Go to this website to see if your smart phone is compatible and to download code reader software to get started with QR Codes. www.mobile-barcodes.com/qr-code-software.
