One QR code for your real estate profile
A QR code is the bridge between the physical world and your page. It is only as good as the page — and only as durable as the address behind it, which is the part that catches people out after the signs are printed.
Every published CardCloser profile has one permanent address and a downloadable QR code that points at it.
What the code points at
Your professional profile: reviews, results, listings, contact. Not a listing that expires, not a brokerage page you do not control, not a phone dialler that skips the decision the person is still making.
Why the destination decision is the whole decision
| Destination | Lifespan | Answers "why you"? |
|---|---|---|
| A specific listing | Weeks | No |
| A brokerage profile | Until you change firms | Rarely |
| A phone link | Permanent | No |
| A vCard download | Permanent | No |
| Your professional profile | Permanent, and yours | Yes |
An address that survives
Your CardCloser address belongs to your account rather than to a brokerage domain, so it survives a move. If you change it, the previous address keeps resolving to the current one — printed material does not break. Addresses you release are not reissued to someone else.
Why this matters before you printA code on a sign rider or a listing presentation outlives the listing by years. Confirm the address is permanent before the print order, not after.
Where to use it
Open houses
The highest-value placement most agents have: the visitor is standing in a house you are selling and is curious about you. Put the code on the sign-in table with a one-line label saying what it opens.
Listing presentations
On the back page, so a seller can look you up after you leave — which is exactly when they compare you with the other agents they interviewed.
Buyer consultations
Same logic. A buyer who scans afterwards is checking whether you are real.
Print and signage
Business cards, flyers, riders, door hangers. Size for the distance it will be scanned from; the QR code guide has a table.
Email signatures and social profiles
Use the link, not the code. The recipient is already holding a device.
Printing it so it actually scans
- Dark code on a light background. Never inverted, never over a photograph.
- Keep the quiet zone — the clear margin around the code — intact.
- At least 2 cm on a business card; 15–20 cm on a yard sign.
- Get a vector or a large PNG for anything bigger than a card.
- Test the printed proof, at the real distance, in bad light, on both an iPhone and an Android.
- Add a one-line label. "Scan for my profile" measurably outperforms a bare square.
Privacy, and what a QR code cannot tell you
A QR code is a URL. Anyone who scans it — or photographs your sign and scans it later — reaches a public page, so nothing should sit behind one that you would not put on a public web page.
And it does not identify anyone. CardCloser does not provide per-code scan analytics, and this page will not describe a capability that does not exist. Treat any product claiming to tell you who scanned a code with suspicion.

Common questions
How do I make a QR code for my real estate business?
Decide the destination first — a permanent profile, not a listing. CardCloser generates one for your published address; the destination decision is the part worth thinking about.
How big should a QR code be on a yard sign?
15–20 cm across, tested from a stopped car at about three metres. Signs are read from further away and in worse light than the usual sizing rule assumes.
Can I track who scans my QR code?
No. A QR code does not identify a person, and CardCloser does not provide per-scan analytics.
What happens to my printed codes if I change my profile address?
They keep working. The previous address continues to resolve to your current one.
