QR code and text sign riders for real estate
An Agent Text sign rider puts a QR code and a text code on your yard sign. A buyer scans the QR code, their text app opens with the listing code filled in, and they tap send. They get the listing details by text and you get their mobile number. Buyers who stay in the car can text the code instead.
What's on an Agent Text sign rider
- A QR code that opens the buyer's text app with the listing code already filled in. One tap to send.
- A short property code unique to that listing, for buyers who would rather type a text.
- A local 10-digit number buyers can text from any phone, available in almost every US and Canadian area code.
- Clear "Text for pictures and price" call-to-action text so buyers know exactly what to do.
- Your code printed in large, easy-to-read type for buyers driving past.
Scan the QR code or type the code. Both paths deliver the same listing details and capture the buyer's real phone number automatically.
How to design and order your sign riders
Sign up and claim your codes
Pick a plan (1, 3, or 5 codes) and start your free 30-day trial. Each code is yours to keep. When one listing closes, just update the property details and put the same code on your next sign.
Add your listing details
Log in to your dashboard, assign a code to your listing, and enter the property info buyers will receive when they text: photos, price, beds and baths, key features, and a link to your full listing page.
Order your sign rider
From your dashboard, order a printed sign rider with your code on it. Riders are professionally printed, weather-resistant, and ship directly to you. First rider $44 shipped; additional riders priced per plan.
Mount and go
Attach the rider to your existing "For Sale" sign with the included hardware. Once it's in the ground, every drive-by buyer who texts or scans gets your listing info instantly, and you get their phone number in your dashboard.
Designed for drive-by buyers
A text sign rider works because it meets buyers exactly where they are: in their car, in front of your listing, with their phone in hand. There's no app to install, no form to fill out, and no waiting on hold.
One tap from the camera app
The QR opens the buyer's text app with your code pre-filled. They tap send and the listing arrives on their phone.
Type the code, hit send
Buyers send a short code to your local number and get property info in seconds, no app, no download, no friction.
You get their real mobile number
Whichever path the buyer takes, you get a callable, textable phone number, not a form fill or a fake email.
Why a QR code that opens a text beats a QR code that opens a form
Most QR codes on yard signs link to a web form or a listing page. The problem: forms get abandoned, fake email addresses get entered, and you end up with contacts you can't reach.
Agent Text riders use QR-to-text instead. The QR opens the buyer's native text app with your code already filled in. They tap send and you get the real phone number attached to their actual device, not whatever they typed into a form.
Wondering whether a free QR code would do the same job? It will send buyers to a page, but it will not tell you who they are. The full comparison is in Free QR code generator vs. a lead-capture QR sign rider.
Reusable from listing to listing
The rider carries your code, not the address. When a listing closes, the same rider goes on your next sign.
The rider carries your code
The QR code and the text code on the rider both point at a code that belongs to your account, not to the property.
Reassign the code in your dashboard
When a home sells, update that code with the next listing's photos, price, and details. It takes a few minutes.
Move the rider to the next sign
Nothing to reprint and nothing to reorder. The same rider moves from yard to yard.
Plans are priced by the number of codes you keep active, and you can move up or down whenever your listing count changes. No contract. More on that in how to scale sign rider costs down and back up.

Common questions
Are sign riders reusable?
Yes. The rider carries your code, and the code is yours to keep. When a listing closes, assign the code to your next listing in your dashboard and move the same rider to the new sign. Nothing to reprint, nothing to reorder.
Does the buyer need an app to scan the QR code?
No. The phone's camera reads the QR code and opens the built-in messaging app with the listing code already filled in. There is nothing to install, and buyers who would rather type can text the code instead.
Can I change my plan when I have fewer listings?
Yes. Plans are priced by the number of codes you keep active, and you can move up or down from your dashboard whenever your listing count changes. There is no contract, and your riders keep working on whichever codes stay active.
Do I have to use Agent Text's sign riders?
No. Any sign rider that shows your QR code, or your code and local number, works with the service. We print them so you do not have to coordinate with a sign shop, but the lead capture lives in the code, not the rider.
How long do the sign riders last?
Riders are weather-resistant and built to outlast a typical listing cycle. Most agents run the same rider across several listings by reassigning the code each time.
How fast do they ship?
Typically within a few business days of ordering, direct to the address on your account.
What if I already have my own sign printer?
Use them. As long as the rider shows your QR code, or your code and local number, Agent Text works the same way.
