Lundy and Williamsburg Area Association of Realtors Partner to Bring Voice-Activated Property Search to Virginia
Williamsburg Area Association of Realtors Enhances Accessibility with Voice-Driven Property Search for Homebuyers
San Diego — September 10, 2024 — Lundy, Inc., which powers the innovative Finding Homes platform, is excited to announce its latest partnership with the Williamsburg Area Association of Realtors (WAAR). Through this collaboration, the Finding Homes platform, a voice-driven property search tool designed to make homebuying easier, will now be available to homebuyers looking in the Williamsburg, Virginia area, enabling them to search for properties using voice commands on Amazon Alexa-enabled devices.
Finding Homes was created to serve the needs of the visually impaired but is accessible to all homebuyers, allowing them to search for properties by engaging in simple, conversational voice interactions. By saying, “Alexa, start Finding Homes,” users can initiate their search and specify criteria such as location, price range, and home features.
This partnership underscores the Williamsburg Area Association of Realtors' dedication to making the real estate process more accessible and user-friendly for all members of the community.
Homebuyers can use voice commands to refine their searches, including:
-
“I’m looking for a three-bedroom house near the historic district.”
-
“I want a home with a large yard and space for entertaining.”
The integration of Finding Homes with WAAR’s listings allows users to move beyond traditional search methods, eliminating complex navigation and empowering them to find relevant property listings instantly. Whether buying a home for the first time or exploring new neighborhoods, the voice-activated scenario search personalizes results in real-time.
“Williamsburg REALTORS® have always prioritized accessibility, and this partnership with Lundy, Inc. further demonstrates our commitment to offering innovative solutions that serve all members of our community,” said Charlie Willits, CEO of Williamsburg Area Association of Realtors. “We’re proud to offer this voice-activated search feature to enhance the homebuying experience to our members and market.”
“We’re excited to collaborate with WAAR to bring the future of real estate search to Williamsburg,” said Justin Lundy, CEO of Lundy, Inc. “By offering Finding Homes in both English and Spanish, we’re breaking down barriers and creating an inclusive, accessible platform that empowers everyone to find their perfect home.”
The service is now available to WAAR subscribers, their clients, and homebuyers in the region. To begin searching for homes with voice commands, users can simply say, “Alexa, start Finding Homes.”
