—Partnership with Bay East Association of REALTORS® (Bay East), bridgeMLS, and Contra Costa Association of REALTORS® (CCAR) Brings Comprehensive Coverage to Regional Real Estate Market—

San Diego — September 16, 2024 — Lundy, Inc., the creator of the voice-driven property search platform, Finding Homes, is excited to announce its latest partnership with three prominent MLS organizations in the California Bay Area: Bay East Association of REALTORS® (Bay East), bridgeMLS, and Contra Costa Association of REALTORS® (CCAR), This collaboration expands Finding Homes' voice-activated search functionality to a broader audience, allowing homebuyers to discover listings across these regions with ease.

​

Specifically designed for the visually impaired, Finding Homes empowers all potential buyers by allowing them to search for properties using natural voice commands. Available on Amazon Alexa-enabled devices and the Alexa app, the platform offers users a simple and conversational way to find homes. Users can initiate the skill by saying, "Alexa, start Finding Homes," and begin searching for properties using everyday language.

​

With comprehensive coverage in the California Bay Area, homebuyers can refine their search based on location, price range, number of bedrooms, or start with their personal motivation for buying. Whether looking for a family home in the suburbs or a cozy downtown apartment, Alexa processes these requests in real time, providing personalized and immediate results. Examples of search scenarios include:

​

• “I travel a lot and need a low maintenance townhome in Oakland.”

• “I need a house in a walkable community with a dog park for a family of 4.”​

​​

The integration with Bay East, bridgeMLS, and CCAR brings convenience to the forefront by eliminating the need to navigate complex dropdown menus or scroll through numerous listings. Instead, users can simply state their preferences and receive relevant property options instantly.

​

"By partnering with multiple MLS organizations in the Bay Area, we're able to offer a comprehensive property search experience that caters to a wide range of homebuyers," said Justin Lundy, CEO of Lundy, Inc. "With Finding Homes now available in both English and Spanish, we're committed to making real estate more accessible and user-friendly for everyone, regardless of language or ability."
