Miami Association of Realtors Partners with Lundy to Enable Voice Search for Property Listings on Alexa

The MIAMI Association of REALTORS® (MIAMI) has teamed up with Lundy to provide voice-activated accessibility to all MIAMI property listings through Amazon's Alexa devices, enriching data accessibility for South Florida consumers, homebuyers, and sellers alike.

Empowering the Visually Impaired in the Home Buying Experience

Teresa King Kinney, CEO of MIAMI REALTORS®, highlighted the importance of making the South Florida home buying experience accessible to blind and visually impaired individuals, emphasizing inclusivity.

Lundy Takes the Spotlight as Alexa's Default Property Search

Lundy has earned Amazon's approval as the default property search for Alexa, Amazon's cloud-based voice service available on over 100 million devices. This integration allows consumers to initiate their Miami home search simply by asking their Alexa device questions like, "Alexa, are there any homes for sale near me?" or "Alexa, help me buy a home" or "Alexa, find me a house."

User-Centric Approach with Finding Homes Alexa Voice Skill App

Unlike other Alexa skills that cater mainly to real estate agents, Lundy's Finding Homes Alexa voice skill app is designed with the user in mind. Its primary objective is to assist homebuyers in finding the most suitable property. Powered by natural language processing, Lundy responds to users' queries about property details such as roof type, square footage, and more.

Enhancing User Experience

Lundy delivers listing information in bite-sized, informative sentences, ensuring a smooth user experience. Additionally, users have the flexibility to search by property address or refine their search by specifying criteria like price range or the number of bedrooms through Alexa.

A Thought Leader in Accessibility

Justin Lundy, Co-Founder and CEO of Lundy, Inc., expressed his excitement about partnering with the MIAMI Association of Realtors and commended them as industry thought leaders. Lundy's mission is to leverage voice technology and AI to enhance lives in Miami and beyond.

Prioritizing Accessibility and Collaboration with the Visually Impaired Community

Lundy has taken significant steps to prioritize accessibility. It collaborated with the National Federation of the Blind (NFB) to develop an agent training program and agent certification. Additionally, focus groups with NFB were convened to discuss the current state of homebuying for the visually impaired, ensuring that Lundy's solutions meet their unique needs.

This innovative partnership between MIAMI and Lundy underscores their commitment to making real estate information readily accessible to all, regardless of physical abilities, and sets a new standard for inclusivity in the industry.
