Our philosophy is simple - UPLOAD, CREATE , BROADCAST. Create your own slideshows from images for free (or we can do it for you for a small fee), upload property videos (shoot your own, use a video company or we can do it for you) and broadcast over the internet and mobile internet. Our system generates everything you need. including the embed code (embed the property video onto your own page after you have created it or uploaded it) as well the video tour links used by Domain and other portals. Our site also generates mobile phone internet listings including video, images and text. This page also comes with the an mobile internet link so you can mass distribute via SMS gateways OR put the QR code (also generated by the system) on all you print media. I am available to educate agents on all these emerging technologies as I used to be a real estate agent myself with a media and IT background. What we have built is a result of industry feedback and therefore www.realestateinmotion.com.au has been built by an agent FOR agents. Keep an eye on the site as we continue to roll out innovative and forward thinking marketing strategies for the real estate industry.

Being in RE I was drawn to this article on sign boards. Have a quick peek at the one we are using in WA. at http://twitpic.com/6yjve. We think it tells the whole story in nothing flat, but I'm one eyed, you can see with both. Keep this site going you're on a roll man. Hi Peter

On my N95 it is called "Barcode" and is under the office section in the menu. Your N95 would also have a Nokia QR barcode reader as well that can be used irrespective of networks.

I have a scan code reader on my N95 that is a Telstra app. It is simple and effective. Launch app - activates camera - hold camera over code and align with in the marks [quite a bit of tolerance here] - app automatically sense code and take you to the link, or gives you the link.

Was over yr way in Brisbane last week, (and in a flying blind moment) saw of, & I think it was in a Brissie Sunday paper the mention of "hold the paper up to yr (in Kiwi speak cellphone, Ozzie speak ":Next-Gen") phone to "unlock" some hidden messages/website/etc..... Its a surprise to me....that I am now out on a limb...but would love someone across the ditch to tell me...was it a QR code they were talking about...and WHY...oh WHY have not someone in real estate predicted this was going to happen and therefore not taken advantage of it before the papers? I've just checked the Courier Mail/Sunday Mail www sites and none the enlightened? Please help? Peter

I want the buyers to contact my office so that they become the property of the office, not of the salesperson so that if the salesperson leaves, the data pertaining to the buyer is still available. Yes, I know you are concentrating on high profile agencies but what about the small to medium sized ones which are the guts of the industry? The website URL is of course a must but I don't think it has to be of that particular property. I want the buyers to see what we've got as most don't buy what they first enquire about anyway!

Harsh? Well I think 18-20% is pretty poor. It is not as if this Internet thingy just arrived, it is everything to agents - everything to buyers/tenants. This is where all the the research is done. We are only talking about a URL to main page. I am really surprised many agents don't have a direct link to each individual property, actually, I am astounded that I couldn't find one. Steve, do you really think each one needs an analysis? Some are very nice, R & W and Ray White Unlimited and the RE/MAX sign looks gorgeous during the day. Pity my photography was not very good - as I was in a moving vehicle. Some signs were just terrible, in fact some are akin to just scribbling on a piece of paper. The independent agents also stood out a little, but some just lacked any thought in design and branding. Nat, graffiti was a problem, it must be frustrating for agents to have this happen, but you are right, maybe a maintenance agreement with contractors to check by. Hi Mr Hurst. Harsh?
