Lundy Provides PrimeMLS with Voice-Enabled Search for Real Estate Properties

San Diego, CA – Lundy, Inc., the most comprehensive property search engine available by voice, is revolutionizing the real estate industry with the launch of voice-enabled search capabilities for real estate searches in New England. This capability is available through the multiple listing service (MLS) organization in New Hampshire and Vermont markets. All current listings in those MLS markets will have voice-enabled capabilities through this arrangement.

As a result, potential homebuyers in these markets can now search for properties using voice commands by interacting with Alexa, the Amazon Echo voice-activated system. Additionally, the Finding Homes service is now available in Spanish, expanding accessibility to a broader audience.

How consumers can interact with the new technology:

Anyone shopping for a home in those markets can use their Alexa device or the Alexa app to start a search using voice prompts. Once they launch the skill, they can use natural language to ask about any listing. To launch the skill, the user says:

“Alexa, start finding homes.”  

“Alexa, launch finding homes.”  

What the enhanced technology does for the consumer:

The user can refine a search with extensive detail. Alexa understands search criteria preferences such as location, budget, number of rooms, and specific scenarios described by the user. 

“I’m looking for a home with three bedrooms and two baths.”  

“I need a large fenced backyard to run and play with my dogs.”  

How this differs from current real estate search capabilities:

Now, through Finding Homes with PrimeMLS, consumers in those markets can easily search for a property without relying on a dropdown menu or having to sift through multiple pages of results. Instead, the user can vocalize their preferred criteria and have it delivered to them. Users can enhance their query by including more specific information during the search process.

What real estate leaders are saying:

Chad Jacobson, CEO of PrimeMLS is excited about the technology and how Finding Homes will enhance agents’ capacities. “PrimeMLS is thrilled to partner with Lundy to offer its cutting-edge voice-powered home search capabilities to our members and consumers. We are particularly excited to provide an inclusive tool for the blind and vision-impaired community, enabling them to fully participate in the homebuying process.”

“We have improved the ability for consumers to use natural and instinctive language to search home listings,” said Justin Lundy, CEO of Lundy, Inc. “With Alexa, our goal is to create an all-encompassing information center that meets the homebuyers where they are comfortable, using a voice-enabled property search engine. This technology will become the top choice for discovering real estate properties in the future.”

The service is now free to PrimeMLS subscribers, clients, and consumers. Anyone can launch Finding Homes with a simple command, “Alexa, start Finding Homes.”
