The Kansas Real Estate Commission (KREC), in partnership with the Information Network of Kansas (INK) and the Kansas Information Consortium, LLC (KIC), is proud to announce the launch of “Kansas Real Estate,” the Kansas Real Estate License Verification skill for your Amazon device.
This first-in-class solution allows users to access KREC’s License Verification information via their Amazon home assistant. This new channel provides additional avenues for both those in the Kansas real estate industry and the public to access information about licenses, continuing education requirements, and answers to frequently asked questions. The skill prioritizes convenience and allows users to access the information 24/7.
“This skill simplifies doing business and working in Kansas,” said Erik Wisner, Kansas Real Estate Commission Executive Director. “It is the first of its kind in this industry and will benefit all users who want to find answers and access the database.”
Here are some ways to vocally interact with the skill:
- “Alexa, open Kansas Real Estate.”
- “Alexa, ask Kansas Real Estate for my license status.”
- “Alexa, ask Kansas Real Estate for their contact information.”
- “Alexa, ask Kansas Real Estate to look up a license.”
Development of the Kansas Real Estate Alexa skill was performed by INK’s network manager, KIC. The solution is a beneficiary of INK’s and KIC’s self-funded model, which delivers innovative solutions at no cost to the state.
