QR Codes in Real Estate

QR Codes in real estate are a hot item right now.  Using QR Codes in real estate marketing is in its infancy, but beginning to gain serious traction.
QR Codes can be used to convey great amounts of information to smartphone users who scan them.

I like the use of QR Codes for offering GPS coordinates, and since most smartphones have GPS capability, that seems like an efficient use.
But one can also use QR Codes to offer purely real estate data and information.  A listing agent can connect buyers to photos, flyers, documents, and make it easy for buyers and buyers agents to gather data they need to write an offer on a listing.

So, I am seeing more QR Codes on real estate listings in Cary.

One criticism of QR Codes is their industrial/utilitarian appearance.  Some folks call them "ugly."  There is little doubt that, with some care, a real estate agent can present an appealing QR Code.  They may never be confused with seascapes by Monet, but QR Codes can look better. The video runs nearly two minutes, but “60 Seconds” just didn’t seem adequate: 

Sometimes a listing agent has to bite the bullet and help out with various items that a client’s mover will not carry.

I went to work on a QR Code to improve the appearance and to keep it scannable. I think the method will work quite well for real estate applications.

The large number of single digit Days on Market in Cary NC home sales indicates that homes will sell when properly prepared, properly presented, and properly priced!
Real Estate could be better, but it sure isn’t dead in Cary NC!
A good listing agent makes a huge difference. Buyers agents are working hard to find value for their buyers. Listing agents need to work just as hard to show the value in sellers properties!

Thousands of homes in the Cary NC area were built with polybutylene water supply lines. Some buyers agents panic over polybutylene and push their clients to over-react, but I don’t see it as a deal-breaker.
The buyer may be passing up a fine home needlessly. Buyers agent and the listing agent should know the cost of a replumb and be able to discuss it, even if the system has not shown evidence of problems.

Cary Listing Agent says, "Updates Trump Allowances!"

When listing a home for sale, whether Home Sellers should do updates and minor repairs prior to listing or to just offer allowances for home buyers to handle updates themselves is a common question.

I fall into the freshen, repair, and update camp.  Of course, that is dependent on the ability of the Home Seller to afford the costs of work out of pocket prior to receiving sales proceeds.

I like to say that it is about "conversations."  Fewer defects and issues are fewer items of conversation, fewer things to talk about, whether it is the agent coaching buyers that they can handle updates, or the negotiations between the buyers themselves.  Less conversation may well mean more money in a faster sale.
Smart Cary Home Sellers want Buyers and Buyers agents talking among themselves about how fresh and up-to-date the property seems, how little updating the Buyer will need to do after closing, how that may create a more affordable home.

Decluttered attics, garages, and storage areas help show the auxiliary spaces in a home better. Buyers notice. A good listing agent will look past the living area and recommend decluttering of the entire property.
