CONGRATULATIONS, 2019 TOP PRODUCERS!<br />
The 2019 Sales Awards recognize the hard work and industry cooperation that<br />
has helped build successful businesses. We honor the achievements of our Top<br />
Producers, in addition to the collective efforts of our members to bring the<br />
highest level of professionalism, ethics, commitment and service to buyers and<br />
sellers in Chicagoland.<br />
Data was pulled and compiled from Midwest Real Estate Data (MRED) on<br />
January 13, 2020 for the 2019 year. Brokers and offices which changed during<br />
this time may not necessarily reflect a broker’s current office or a new office<br />
name. Residential transactions are solely based on data from MRED. Teams<br />
have been recognized from the brokers’ own declaration in MRED as a “team”<br />
and by using the team lead’s ID when entering information.<br />
We wish you continued success in 2020 as you continue to do excellent work<br />
on behalf of your clients and our industry.<br />

PRESIDENT’S PERSPECTIVE<br />
Many REALTORS ® believe that their professional<br />
integrity and worth depends on the hours<br />
they put into their jobs. Real estate can be<br />
an around-the-clock career at times. But this<br />
mindset can be detrimental to your personal life, mental health, your<br />
general wellbeing and so much more.<br />
It is important that we make sure to handle our personal problems as<br />
they arise, because putting them off can lead to larger, more dangerous<br />
problems down the road. Beginning healthy and practical habits ensures<br />
we are prioritizing our wellbeing.<br />
Here are some steps that we can take to ensure we are leading our<br />
best lives.<br />
• Set boundaries with your business and clients.<br />
Setting boundaries in your career and sticking to them is critical.<br />
Communicate with your clients what those boundaries are early, so<br />
they can determine if you are a right fit for them and vice versa.<br />
• Make time for important things outside of work.<br />
Whether it’s your passions outside of work, planning personal time<br />
like vacations or carving out time to spend with loved ones,<br />
spending time doing things that make you happy will help make<br />
you feel more fulfilled. Make sure to focus on them.<br />
• Take time for your mental health.<br />
Your health is your most valuable asset. I’m not just talking about<br />
your physical health, but also your mental health. A great starting<br />
point is to change your negative thoughts to positive ones. Your<br />
perceptions will become your reality, so make sure to remember<br />
that before letting negative thoughts take over.<br />
• Know when to see a professional.<br />
It can be hard to acknowledge when we need help from someone<br />
else. Being able to tell when something isn’t right and knowing<br />
when to seek outside assistance isn’t a sign of weakness; it’s a sign<br />
of strength and self-awareness. Plus, talking to an unbiased person<br />
outside of your life can be a great way to get a new perspective on<br />
yourself and those around you.<br />
If we ensure we are creating a healthy personal life, it will continue to every<br />
other facet of our lives. With these tips and tools, I hope we can all aim to<br />
become the best versions of ourselves.<br />

FROM THE CEO<br />
At the beginning of the pandemic, I read a blog<br />
post about leadership preparedness. One quote<br />
from Sherry Budziak of .OrgSource stood out<br />
to me: “For CEOs, this is a once-in-a-career<br />
opportunity to demonstrate that you can lead your organization through<br />
an unprecedented challenge with courage and confidence.” This has<br />
motivated me to execute, execute, execute!<br />
But this isn’t just about CEOs demonstrating leadership. Clearly, this<br />
is a chance for everyone to show up and demonstrate resilience at a<br />
vulnerable time.<br />
That includes you, our members, who are finding creative ways to still<br />
conduct your business, from virtual showings with drones and FaceTime,<br />
to revised office policies to ensure everyone’s safety. By ensuring your<br />
clients have the opportunity for a basic human need (a home), you’ve<br />
shown the continued value of a REALTOR ® .<br />
Yes, all this has been stressful, but we’ve seen so many of you answer<br />
the call to leadership. There’s also a silver lining: the ability to continue<br />
to connect, albeit virtually, with your loved ones, to continue to celebrate<br />
those who mean the most to us.<br />
I’m reminded of longtime Chicago REALTORS ® Marion and Joan Valle<br />
who recently celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary. Marion is<br />
one of the founders of our Foundation, and a past president of CAR.<br />
Together, they founded Valle Realty. This achievement is a testament to<br />
the importance of having great partners — in business and in life.<br />
The last few months have been quite interesting. There’s been a<br />
seamless pivot to virtual everything — Board of Director and committee<br />
meetings, all-member town-hall events and forums, online learning<br />
and CE, mastermind sessions and advocacy efforts, to name a few.<br />
This experience is sure to change the trajectory of how we interact and<br />
conduct business in the months and years ahead. It’s forced us to get<br />
even more creative with how we deliver value to you — and how we can<br />
partner together to thrive in the current climate.<br />
This is COVID-19. But, this is also REALTORS ® adjusting and persevering<br />
like only REALTORS ® can. That’s Who We R.<br />
Joan and Marion Valle celebrate their 60 th wedding anniversary<br />

your clients through the pandemic. We’d love to hear from you!<br />

EDITOR’S NOTE<br />
JESSICA KERN<br />
Vice President, Communications<br />
jkern@chicagorealtor.com<br />
As is tradition, our CAR team began working on this issue expecting<br />
to unveil it at our annual Sales Awards event. But as we send it off to<br />
press in the world of COVID-19, we are unsure when we might be able<br />
to host our most popular event of the year.<br />
We are no longer in a time of traditions. This unprecedented time is<br />
for innovation, collaboration and uplifting our communities. CAR’s<br />
leadership and staff teams have worked tirelessly to ensure our<br />
membership is updated as often as possible on the ever-changing<br />
landscape. While our offices are closed our teams have been working<br />
remote, with Zoom being our new best friend.<br />
STAYING CLOSE THROUGH PHYSICAL DISTANCE<br />
Many of our continuing education classes have moved to webinar and<br />
online formats to help you renew your license without delay. Our YPN<br />
is providing a virtual space for members to connect and learn twice<br />
a week. We’ve hosted virtual forums to provide legal updates and<br />
a place for members to share ideas with one another. Our partners<br />
have pitched in to provide virtual panels on closing changes, lending<br />
changes and legal updates.<br />
NOW & FUTURE THINKING<br />
We’re in an adapt-or-don’t environment, and REALTORS ® have<br />
answered the call with grit, courage and a shared determination. I’ve<br />
been hearing a common message of positivity I want to share with<br />
you: the way we do business has changed, but it will advance our<br />
industry forward. I believe our association will, too.<br />
It is now more than ever that this association strives to be a resource<br />
to keep you informed and connected. We will continue to work to<br />
provide the education, tools and services you need to succeed.<br />
As always, we’d love to hear from you.<br />

CAR Foundation Donates $ 10,000 to Support<br />
Hephzibah House & High-Need Children<br />
In late January, the CAR Foundation spent the morning touring the<br />
Hephzibah House in Oak Park, which provides intensive therapeutic<br />
care for severely traumatized young children. The tour concluded<br />
with a $10,000 check presented to Hephzibah House executive<br />
director Merry Beth Sheets, MS, LCPC.<br />
Founded in 1897 by Mary Wessels, Hephzibah Children’s Association<br />
is Oak Park’s oldest social service agency and runs several programs<br />
geared towards providing shelter and services for children. In<br />
addition to an after school and summer enrichment program for<br />
kids with working parents in eight of Oak Park’s elementary schools,<br />
Hephzibah also engages in child welfare work, serving as a foster<br />
care provider for 100 kids in need of foster care, providing licensing<br />
and oversight for foster parents, and through their Intact Family<br />
Services, providing crisis intervention support that stabilizes families<br />
and protects children at risk of abuse and neglect.<br />
Through Hephzibah House, high-need, high-risk children are able<br />
to have physical and emotional transformations and receive the<br />
care, safety and security they need to begin to cope with and heal<br />
from past traumas.<br />
Hephzibah House was the recipient of the step stools and<br />
conference table built from repurposed scrap metal and wood by<br />
over 60 Chicago REALTORS ® at last October’s REBUILD Project.<br />
The CAR Foundation is proud to continue our support of Hephzibah<br />
House’s mission.<br />

PICTURE PERFECT:<br />
The Design Trends That Will Be<br />
Everywhere in 2020<br />
Interior design by Studio Gild/photo by Mike Schwartz Photography<br />
For the past decade, a few trends have risen above the<br />
algorithms to reign supreme. Shiplap comes to mind,<br />
along with the farmhouse chic look made popular<br />
by HGTV’s legendary Fixer Upper. Grey dominated<br />
color schemes — alternately moody or bright, but not<br />
simply white, with variable saturations and undertones.<br />
Millennial pink, too, rose to prominence, a rosy shade to<br />
complement whatever neutral paired with it. Cement tile<br />
was everywhere, a graphic punch to offset neutral baths<br />
and kitchens. And furniture began taking on a rounder,<br />
more serpentine or cloud-like quality following a long<br />
run of midcentury ubiquity.<br />
With the rise of Instagram, Pinterest and yes, HGTV,<br />
trends go further and change more quickly than ever.<br />
Buyers want homes that are Insta story-ready, which can<br />
present a challenge: how to keep up with ever-changing<br />
consumer tastes? We went to the experts and consulted<br />
with several Chicago interior designers to see what’s<br />
hot, what’s not and what’s next for design trends.<br />
COLOR<br />
A frequent client request? “Help me love my home, and help<br />
me to not be afraid of color!” Claire Staszak, Centered by<br />
Design, said.<br />
Color can be either a gamechanger or a space’s downfall —<br />
it’s crucial to use it correctly for your space and test colors<br />
out before slapping paint on the walls. While white and grey<br />
dominated most of the past decade, we’re starting to see<br />
more saturation and jewel tones creep back into prominence.<br />
“Crisp white is going to stick around for a while, but I still love<br />
contrast and bold pops of color to contrast the white,” Lauren<br />
Svenstrup, Studio Sven, said. “My current favorites are deep<br />
shades of aubergine and teal, and you can never go wrong<br />
with accenting architectural details in matte black.”<br />
Black is definitely poised to have a moment. “Black is my<br />
new neutral going forward — I think a hint of black belongs<br />
in every room,” Brooke Lang, Brooke Lang Design, said. “It’s<br />
so easy to play with textures, from matte black plumbing<br />
38 Chicago REALTOR ® Magazine
finishes, to woven black leather barstools<br />
to a blackened steel fireplace surround.<br />
Anything with a little oxidation to them, a<br />
little tarnish or wear can really warm the<br />
space but still bring in a raw material.”<br />

KITCHENS<br />
Kitchens continue to be the heart of the<br />
home — and one of the most-renovated<br />
spaces where clients are willing to throw<br />
down some dollars to get the look they<br />
want. Again, neutrals like white (or grey)<br />
cabinets have been in high demand —<br />
though that may change in the year ahead.<br />
“All-white kitchens had a big moment<br />
the last few years, and while we don’t<br />
necessarily think an all-white kitchen is<br />
‘out,’ we are ready to give it a little break<br />
and let other colors have their moment,”<br />
Jennie Bishop, Studio Gild, said.<br />
BATHS<br />
Staszak agreed. “Color, tile, statement hoods, mixed metals<br />
— you name it, it’s happening right now.”<br />
Also on the horizon — kitchens that don’t scream “kitchen.”<br />
“We love incorporating panel-ready appliances that<br />
integrate into the beautiful surrounding cabinetry, and love<br />
designing hidden pantry cabinets that conceal the essentials,<br />
like microwaves and coffee makers,” Svenstrup said.<br />
You can thank movements towards more sustainable<br />
consumption for this trend. “An increasing number of<br />
clients are doing away with upper cabinets and opting for<br />
just lower cabinets with a full wall of backsplash or just<br />
a short backsplash with an interesting wall treatment,”<br />
Lang said. “In the absence of perceived additional storage,<br />
clients are simply decluttering and getting more organized<br />
with their base cabinets so there’s less to store and more<br />
space in the room.”<br />
And while you’re considering your options,<br />
don’t forget about technology. It’s amazing<br />
how many of the new appliances on the<br />
market can be controlled with the touch<br />
of a button on your phone. “I’m excited to<br />
see the luxury side of kitchen design not<br />
only incorporate beautiful colors, exotic<br />
textures and custom finishes, but also<br />
embrace technology, [including] personal<br />
assistants such as Google or Siri, as well<br />
as new technology [allowing you] to<br />
preheat your oven, start your dishwasher<br />
or take a virtual look into your refrigerator<br />
to see if you’re out of milk,” Erik Kolacz,<br />
Contrast Design Group, said.<br />
Another space where technology is becoming more<br />
of a priority? Bathrooms. “Integrating technology in<br />
the bathroom will soon become the standard,” Kristen<br />
Ekeland, Studio Gild, said. “Think digital shower controls<br />
and speakers, faucets with electronic timers to cut<br />
down the amount of water wasted, and bathtubs with a<br />
chromatherapy function.”<br />
Interior design by Erik W. Kolacz/Contrast<br />
Design Group<br />
And bathrooms are also moving to more bold design<br />
territory. “Terrazzo is big as a material, as is using tile all<br />
over, not only on floor and shower walls,” Staszak said.<br />
Statement making marble has also moved beyond the<br />
kitchen and into the bath, as well. “Bring maximalist marble<br />
vibes into the home for a show stopping statement,” Lang<br />
said. “I love this style because it’s really about the beautiful,<br />
bold patterns for a dramatic effect. I’ve seen arabascato<br />
“blue-cheese” marble on every bathroom surface, from the<br />
walls bookmatched to the tub.”<br />
TEXTILES<br />
It’s not just the built environment<br />
— accessories are having a<br />
major moment, particularly<br />
textiles. Layering rooms with<br />
a mix of colors, patterns and<br />
fabrics really makes the design<br />
sing. “Texture, scale and<br />
color make for an interesting<br />
mix to the eye,” Staszak said.<br />
Svenstrup agreed. “We’re loving<br />
nubby textural solids, the more<br />

An unexpected — but impactful — place to incorporate textiles? Your walls.<br />
“Woven tapestries and knotted macramé make for the perfect wall hanging<br />
and bring life and movement to a space that framed artwork just can’t,”<br />
Melissa Benham, Studio Gild, said.<br />
TIP: “A good formula for a winning pillow combination is<br />
to keep the color palette tight and use one big print, one<br />
small print and one textured material.”<br />
– CLAIRE STASZAK<br />
WHAT'S TRENDING NEXT<br />
There are a few major trends that are on the verge of breaking through again<br />
in very modern ways.<br />
One is cane detailing, a very textural, classic trend. “The natural, woven<br />
quality of cane paired with modern furniture is a pairing we can’t get enough<br />
of,” Bishop said. “This detailing can be applied on anything from cabinet<br />
doors to dining room chairs.”<br />

The other means your furniture is about to get a little groovier. “First popular<br />
in the ’60s and ’70s, curved furniture is making a comeback,” Ekeland said.<br />
“Offering less structure and more asymmetry, curved furniture brings a<br />
softer, more organic element to the space.” Try a curvy<br />

velvet or nubby boucle to make a big statement. Looking for a smaller way<br />
to incorporate the trend? A pillowy armchair or pouf will do the trick.<br />

EASY UPDATES<br />
Looking to make a big bang on a budget?<br />
Our designers shared where a little extra love<br />
goes a long way.<br />
“Make your entry look amazing and welcoming,<br />
with lots of personality,” Staszak said. This can<br />
inject energy into your home the minute you<br />
walk through the door. You can accomplish this<br />
with paint or wallpaper — we love renter (and<br />
trend)-friendly removable wallpaper sheets.<br />
Another easy upgrade? It’s all in the details.<br />
“Upgrading baseboards, trim and doors to a<br />
more modern profile and upgrading lighting,<br />
light switches and outlets can give the<br />
impact of a high-end feel and a newer home,”<br />
Svenstrup said.<br />
Finally, have some space in the floor plan to<br />
play? “A dedicated laundry room on both the<br />
main and upper floor of the house may seem<br />
excessive, but it’s a major game changer,”<br />
Benham said. “Not having to lug dirty laundry<br />
from floor to floor helps make it feel less like<br />
a chore.”<br />
Interior design by Claire Staszak/Centered by Design,<br />

GOOD BONES<br />
Floorplan is key to design. “When starting a project, the thing<br />
that gets me the most excited is figuring out the best use<br />
of space,” Svenstrup said. “Of course, we want to design a<br />
beautiful home for our clients, but function should always<br />
come first. Little changes in a layout can have a huge impact<br />
on the day-to-day lives for our clients.”<br />
This doesn’t mean knocking down all the walls — regardless<br />
what HGTV tells you. “Don’t get me wrong — I love when two<br />
rooms are combined to create a multi-use space, like an<br />
eat-in kitchen, or a great room, but I’m over the fully open<br />
concept plans where the entire first floor of a home is<br />
practically one open space,” she said. “There needs to be an<br />
entrance to the home with a landing spot, a place to hang a<br />
coat and take off your shoes… that isn’t in your formal living<br />
room. Open floor plans also kill the ability to change the wall<br />
color from room to room or give rooms different personalities.<br />
You have to pick one paint color for the entire first floor and<br />
then those walls continue up to the second floor and down<br />
to the open basement without any stopping point for color.<br />
Replace it with casing for doorway, or molding details — any<br />
stopping point that provides the opportunity for a transition.<br />
You don't need to completely ditch the idea of an open plan,<br />
you just need to take it down a notch.”<br />

GOING VIRTUAL:<br />
Tips & Tools to Help<br />
You Succeed<br />
TIPS FOR <strong>CR</strong>EATING<br />
A SUCCESSFUL<br />
VIRTUAL OFFICE<br />
These uncertain times make it essential to come up with creative<br />
ways to continue having success. This includes successfully<br />
pivoting your office to a virtual setting. With the help of Sam<br />
Powell, a Chicago REALTOR ® with Dream Town Realty, we have<br />
compiled a list of tips to help build a virtual office from home.<br />
TIME BLOCK<br />
Many of us have already come up with ways to time block during<br />
normal work settings, but you may find you have more time than<br />
usual right now while working virtually. On top of your regular work<br />
duties, there are great opportunities to focus on professional and<br />
personal development, such as listening to industry podcasts,<br />
online training, classes and more! Make sure to make time for<br />
everything you need to do, while also working on your growth!<br />
<strong>CR</strong>EATE A DAILY ROUTINE<br />
Part of getting in the headspace to work is creating normalcy<br />
around the circumstances you’re in. Getting up and going to sleep<br />
at the same time, changing out of pajamas, cleaning yourself off<br />
and creating a space that is specifically for work will all help with<br />
getting used to a new situation.<br />
BE VIRTUALLY PRESENT<br />
Become comfortable with getting in front of a screen and sharing<br />
information. Being a REALTOR ® means you are likely used to doing<br />
your work with an emphasis on in-person interactions. Allowing<br />
your sphere to still be able to see and hear from you will keep you<br />
present in people’s minds. Ways to do this include creating videos<br />
on your social media platforms, setting up virtual meetings and<br />
tools for your clients and, most importantly, creating virtual home<br />
tours. Sam suggests a variety of tools for this, including interactive<br />
floor maps, 3D home tours, taking aerial photos and videos or using<br />
video calls for homebuyers to take virtual tours without having to<br />
step foot in the home.<br />
HAVE BACKUP PLANS IN PLACE<br />
You never know when your internet might act up, if your computer<br />
may be on the fritz or your phone may run out of power. Having<br />
backup plans in place, such as having a hot spot to get internet<br />
access or having a backup computer or another way to access your<br />
work files and emails, are important for work continuity. As Sam<br />
likes to say, be your own backup plan!<br />

CONTINUE TO WORK YOUR PIPELINE<br />
Sooner or later, we will be back to normal working circumstances,<br />
and it’s important to have your pipeline in place to jump right back<br />
to business as usual. Use your downtime to work your pipeline and<br />
be prepared when this time comes.<br />
CONNECT WITH YOUR CLIENTS DAILY<br />
Sam says that she takes time every day to reach out to five of her<br />
clients. Whether it’s sending cards, videos or gifts, it’s important to<br />
continue to check in on them and let them know you’re a resource<br />
if they need it.<br />
HOW TO CONNECT<br />
WITH CLIENTS DURING<br />
SOCIAL DISTANCING<br />
Real estate is a business based on the service of taking care of<br />
your clients’ needs and solving their problems before your own. If<br />
there has ever been an important time to keep this in mind, it’s now.<br />
As people around the planet are bearing down and sheltering in<br />
place, REALTORS ® are left wondering how they can conduct their<br />
42 Chicago REALTOR ® Magazine
usiness. Those who have seen success have done so by returning<br />
to the fundamentals of being a REALTOR ® : putting themselves in<br />
their clients’ shoes.<br />
Just like you, people around the country are feeling isolated and<br />
are worried about how they’re going to get through the coming<br />
weeks. Many REALTORS ® are using videos to maintain face-to-face<br />
relationships with their clients in an effort to curb that isolation.<br />
Here are some ideas on how you can use video to connect with<br />
your clients.<br />
USE VIDEO TO COMMUNICATE IMPORTANT<br />
INFORMATION<br />
REALTORS ® around the country are finding success shifting the<br />
way they communicate with clients through using video. Where<br />
you might make a phone call or send an email, consider sending<br />
a short video message instead. Think of it as a video voicemail.<br />
This can help give a personal touch when you’re communicating<br />
information to your clients. Also, if you have to send this message<br />
to multiple parties, it ensures that everyone is getting the same<br />
information.<br />
USE VIDEO TO CONNECT ON A<br />
PERSONAL LEVEL<br />
Within the stress of COVID-19 are opportunities to creatively<br />
grow your business in ways you might not have considered<br />
while conducting business as normal, like developing personal<br />
relationships with your clients. Many REALTORS ® are reporting<br />
success in connecting with their clients over video chat to simply<br />
talk about how they’re doing rather than speaking strictly about<br />
business and the market.<br />
Offer to have coffee dates with your clients, or virtual happy hours,<br />
to talk about what they’re going through. Now is a good time to be<br />
good neighbors for your clients, especially if they’re in the process<br />
of moving from out of town. Start a video, find out what they’re<br />
worried about and see what you can do to take care of their needs.<br />
This can go a long way in helping grow your business through<br />
referrals.<br />
The key to these trying times is to do what we can to adapt to<br />
constantly changing “new normals.” There’s one thing REALTORS ®<br />
throughout the nation are agreeing on: the importance of face-toface<br />
interaction via video chat.<br />
There are many different video conferencing tools available to<br />
choose from, and finding the best fit for you can be overwhelming.<br />
Here are some options you can use to help conduct your business<br />
from home.<br />
ZOOM<br />
Zoom is a popular video conferencing tool commonly used for<br />
webinars. Because of its popularity and versatility, Zoom has<br />
developed a guide to help you through its systems.<br />
BOMBBOMB<br />
BombBomb is a video tool useful for including video in email<br />
messages. Some REALTORS ® have seen success using video<br />
messaging in lieu of a phone call or regular email.<br />
CAMTASIA<br />
Camtasia is another video tool useful for screen grabbing. With<br />
Camtasia, you can record audio with your screen so you can walk<br />
through documents with your clients.<br />
NETFLIX PARTY<br />
Netflix Party is an extension for Google Chrome that allows you<br />
to watch Netflix with other people over video chat. It will stream a<br />
show or movie and open a group chat so you can talk about what<br />
you’re watching with other people in your party.<br />
These are just a few tools at your disposal to help you connect<br />
with your clients and run your business from home. If you’re<br />
worried about what to talk about, or what to do when you actually<br />
connect with your clients, read our tips on How to Connect with<br />
Clients During Social Distancing.<br />
Check out our resources to help<br />
you take your business virtual.<br />
BSET UP ONGOING COMMUNICATION<br />
Speaking of referrals, now is the perfect time to set up ongoing<br />
communication with clients after you’ve closed with them.<br />
Establishing ongoing monthly emails or creating social media<br />
groups are great ways to stay in your clients’ minds when it comes<br />
time for them to sell years down the line. Developing ongoing<br />
relationships can solidify YOU as their REALTOR ® , and now is a<br />
great time to do so.<br />
VIDEO TOOLS TO<br />
USE DURING SOCIAL<br />
DISTANCING<br />
As the world grapples with the impact of<br />
COVID-19, REALTORS ® across the country are asking themselves,<br />
“How can I conduct my business from my home?”<br />

When it comes to voice search, Amazon Echo<br />
and Google Home have become synonymous<br />
with home technology. According to a report by<br />
Jupiter Research, at the end of 2018, there were<br />
an estimated 2.5 billion voice assistants in use, and we can expect<br />
to see around 8 billion voice assistants in use by 2023.<br />
Based on this data, we can only expect to see voice assistants<br />
increase in popularity, and we’ve only just began to scratch<br />
the surface with these devices’ capabilities — expect voice<br />
searching to expand to cars, TVs and more in the coming years.<br />
Incorporating voice skills into your business tool kit can be a new<br />
way to create more exposure for your brand and ease of access<br />
to information your clients want.<br />
WHAT IS A VOICE SKILL?<br />
Voice skills are the apps for voice devices. Skills are voice-driven<br />
commands that can be developed to give consumers access<br />
to information simply by opening the skill. There are skills for<br />
everything from listening to the news, streaming music, accessing<br />
weather information or playing trivia games. You can download<br />
and remove skills by using the device’s app or website, then use<br />
the voice capabilities to ask the device to open the skill — like,<br />
“Alexa, open Chicago REALTORS ® ” or “Google, open Chicago<br />
REALTORS ® .”<br />
VOICE SKILLS AND SPEAKER<br />
CAPABILITIES THAT CAN HELP<br />
YOUR BUSINESS<br />
Your voice assistant can almost work as a personal office<br />
assistant for you. Start by syncing the apps on your mobile<br />
device, such as your calendar and reminders, to your voice<br />
assistant to be reminded of upcoming appointments. You will<br />
also be able to ask the voice assistant to make a calendar<br />
appointment, which will sync with both the device itself and<br />
your phone.<br />

There are multiple skills already available for REALTORS ® to help<br />
enhance your customer experience.<br />
Agent NEO provides REALTORS ® with their own personalized<br />
Alexa App that can be shared with clients and leads. This app<br />
allows you to do a variety of different things. First, you can add<br />
your listings into Agent NEO’s system, where it will pull together<br />
listing information from multiple sources. Then, during high<br />
demand open houses, those visiting the home can still get their<br />
questions about the property answered. Questions such as, “Alexa,<br />
ask Agent NEO about nearby public schools,” or “Alexa, ask Agent<br />
NEO how much the monthly electricity bill is,” can be answered<br />
instantly and accurately. For questions the app is unable to<br />
answer from the content it collected online, you will receive a text<br />
message so you can ensure no question is left behind.<br />
The app can be downloaded for free, and plans can be purchased<br />
beginning at $ 9.99, which includes your own app, location inquiries<br />
and upgrades anytime.<br />
Ask A REALTOR ® , created by the National Association of<br />
REALTORS ® , helps answer real estate questions by providing the<br />
expertise, experience and professionalism of a REALTOR ® . This<br />
skill allows clients to ask questions about ownership, purchasing<br />
and selling directly to a smart device. Get the most accurate and<br />
trustworthy information about real estate from the true experts in<br />
the field through a simple voice command or question.<br />
This skill will help answer questions such as “How much is my<br />
house worth?,” “How can I find a REALTOR ® ?” or “What is an<br />
appraisal?”<br />
Real Estate is a skill your clients can use to search for homes<br />
available to buy and rent in their area. Once you have asked the<br />
skill for results, a full list of information based off your search will<br />
be emailed directly to them.<br />
Connect MLS is MRED’s skill for subscribers to access their personal<br />
business information. Members can hear about their own business<br />
including upcoming expiring listings, violations and on-hold listings.<br />
Housing market statistics are also available through the skill and<br />
are searchable by zip code. Also, if you receive messages through<br />
MRED, they can be read to you on the spot when the app is in use.<br />
<strong>CR</strong>EATING YOUR OWN VOICE SKILL<br />
Voice skills are being utilized in the real estate industry in a<br />
variety of different ways. For consumer-facing businesses,<br />
creating a voice skill makes a lot of sense. A voice skill can create<br />
value for your business. Why?<br />
• Convenience: Your clients will find it easy and convenient to<br />
ask their voice assistant device to simply open your voice<br />
skill and hear everything they need to know about your<br />
business, news and anything else you wish to include in your<br />
skill, all at once.<br />
• Increased Digital Traffic: Many skills will direct customers to<br />
a website for more information, increasing traffic and<br />
information about your brokerage.<br />
• Lead Generation: Voice skills can gather the names and<br />
information of the people who ask to open your skill, creating<br />
another option to generate leads and potential clients.<br />
• A Better Customer Experience: Voice skills will help you<br />
to be there for current and potential clients even if you aren’t<br />
physically with them!<br />
These are just a few of the ways that voice skills can help your<br />
brokerage! Now, are you interested in getting started on creating<br />
your own skill? Here are the five steps to follow when creating<br />
your skill.<br />
Step 1: Brainstorm and plan your skill.<br />
Step 2: Set up the skill on the speaker developer’s website.<br />
Step 3: Write and test the code for your skill.<br />
Step 4: Submit your skill for approval.<br />
Step 5: Your skill is published!<br />
To find out more, Amazon and Google have step-by-step<br />
instructions for how to create your skill for their platforms. Also,<br />
there are multiple skill developers on the market that can help<br />
in the process of creating a skill. Voiceter Pro and Skills are two<br />
developers that specifically focus on and help REALTORS ® create<br />
skills for their businesses.<br />
