MADISON, N.J., July 30, 2019 // PRNewswire // - Realogy Holdings Corp. (NYSE: RLGY), the largest full-service residential real estate services company in the United States, today launched Agent X, an innovative real estate focused Alexa Skill. Agent X is now available complimentary to affiliated agents with Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate, Century 21, Coldwell Banker, Coldwell Banker NRT and ERA brands.
Operating as a Skill on the Alexa platform, Agent X gives instant, voice-operated access to an impressive suite of productivity and coaching tools – from listings and client presentations, to productivity and goals tracking, to a daily digest that includes a briefing of the agent's day ahead, top industry headlines and more. As a Skill, Agent X allows agents the ability to be more efficient and productive simply by asking Alexa to "ask Agent X."
"At Realogy, we are focused on arming affiliated agents with great technology to help them best serve consumers. Our approach to that technology is about creating an open environment that allows them to access tools where and how they want, and Agent X is the perfect example of that productivity enabling technology," explained Dave Gordon, Realogy's chief technology officer.
Agent X, exclusively for Realogy affiliated agents, provides a flexible user interface via an Alexa device or through the Alexa app (available for iOS and Android) that allows access to an extensive amount of useful information via a user's voice, including:
"As voice technology's adoption rate continues to accelerate toward mainstream usage, we're excited to be able to set the example for how to use voice as a powerful business tool, which for us was utilizing Alexa's powerful network," stated Gordon. "Building Agent X as an Alexa Skill gives our agents the flexibility to use it on any device through the Alexa app. This results in an easier, voice-enabled user interface that relies solely on speech, saving our agents the time and stress of having to manually log-in to a separate platform, allowing them to quickly get the information they need, whenever and wherever, by simply asking Agent X."
Earlier this year, Agent X was piloted by groups of agents across Realogy's brands, giving the agents the opportunity to directly impact the final look and feel of Agent X through their ideas and feedback, including:
