| Weve all seen the old real estate yard signs instructing potential buyers to tune their radio to a certain frequency for more information.
Now ClearSky Mobile Media, Inc., is rolling out its iCODE system for real estate listings. People driving down the streets of Windermere, Florida can now learn more about the listings of Main Street Realtors by simply entering a short code number displayed on the yard sign into their mobile phones. The iCODE service then immediately responds with a text message containing information on the home.
Talk about a practical solution to the always-empty brochure box!
"Flyers attached to yard signs have been nothing but problems for us, yet people want instant information about a house they are driving by," said Judy Black, owner/broker of Main Street Realtors. "iCODE is the answer."
iCODE stands for "Information Code" and is simple to use, even for the text messaging novice. The interested buyer goes to the text messaging feature in his or her phone, enters the iCODE number "88999" as the "To:" address and then puts in the home's four-character code from the yard sign as the body of the message. In just a few seconds, the iCODE service responds with information about the house. iCODE works today on AT&T/Cingular, T-Mobile, Sprint and Verizon phones with additional carriers soon to be added.
