The ever-changing way in which we communicate -- QR-Codes, mobile barcodes
I might have questioned your sanity ten years ago if you told me I would be carrying a phone and computer in my pocket some day -- that I would communicate with friends and clients through text-messaging, tweets and FaceBook status updates. But, here I am with my iPhone in my pocket -- tweeting, texting, instant messaging and e-mailing from where ever I happen to be.
And, it continues to evolve, which is the challenge and blessing of technology.
My newest communication discovery is mobile barcodes or QR-codes (the QR acronym is for Quick Response). QR-codes are two dimensional barcodes designed to have its content decoded at a high speed.
Depending on what kind of smart phone you have, you can download a reader for free.
If you've downloaded a QR Reader, go ahead and activate it and point your phone at the barcode embedded in this post.
Voila! Instantly, a YouTube video of a home for sale at 14213 South Urbana Avenue in Bixby, Oklahoma, pops up on your phone screen.
What percentage of homebuyers own smart phones? Read a bit about Smartphone statistics and market share. For example, Nielsen reports smartphone sales accounting for 25% of the US mobile phone market in the second quarter of 2010, and expect smartphones to become the majority by the end of 2011.

How in the world does this change how we advertise real estate? It changes everything!
No need to clutter up a brochure or ad with tiny photos of a 2,000 square foot home - simply insert the barcode and let the prospective client view your beautiful home video!
In order to effectively SELL real estate, you must understand how home buyers shop. And yes, they're reading tweets, text-messaging, shopping on the internet and now viewing videos from their smart phone.
Trust the Realtor keeping up with today's technology to help you sell your home. That's just SMART.
