Story

What happened.

In September 2018, Inman covered HomeyPoints under the headline "Alexa, get me seller leads." The story matters because it captured the early version of a behavior that has only become more common: homeowners asking an assistant for real-estate guidance.

At the time, HomeyPoints was focused on voice search. The same local marketing principle still drives the company today: make one agent clear, findable, and easy to contact in a specific market.

The question did not change

Homeowners still ask who to call, what their home might be worth, and which local agent knows their area. The platforms changed from voice skills to AI search, but the need for clear local source material stayed the same.
