QR codes and Real Estate in Bemidji

In Bemidji, MN, you might ask what is a QR code and why would anyone use it?  A QR code is a “Quick Response” code.   The codes are read by a smart phone that has a camera on it and a simple app or software that can read the code.  Why is it useful is the next question.  In Real Estate, it can be used in several ways.  It can give you information about the listing such as price, bedrooms, etc but it can also bring you to a virtual tour, show additional photos, tax information, a detailed information sheet etc.  The code can also give you information about the selling agent, the listing office, directions or anything else that may be pertinent to the listing.

The QR codes have been used for many years and have been mainstream in other countries for quite some time.  You will start to see these in the near future in Ads, Publications etc.  The apps can be downloaded for free and are fairly simple to use.  Give it a try and see how they work.

If you have a smart phone with a camera, go to your app store, download the app and play around with it.  You may also see coupons, ads or other incentives to have one on your phone.
