Voice to Text for Real Estate Agents
Your clients expect fast responses, but you're always on the move between showings, open houses, and closings. Blurt lets you dictate listing descriptions, client follow-ups, and CRM notes without pulling over to type. Hold a button, speak naturally about that gorgeous kitchen or the motivated seller, release. Your words appear instantly in your email, MLS system, or CRM. Stay responsive, capture property details while they're fresh, and never lose a lead because you couldn't reply fast enough.
The Typing Problem
Writing listing descriptions after property visits
You just walked through a stunning home and noticed a hundred details worth mentioning. The chef's kitchen, the natural light in the primary suite, the mature landscaping. But by the time you're back at your desk, half those details have faded. You stare at the MLS form trying to remember if the countertops were quartz or granite. Your listing descriptions end up generic when they should be compelling.
Client follow-ups while driving between showings
You're in the car between your 2 PM and 3 PM showings when a hot lead texts asking about that new listing. You know you should respond immediately — this market moves fast. But you're driving. By the time you park and type out a thoughtful reply, 45 minutes have passed. That buyer already scheduled a showing with another agent. Speed wins deals, and typing loses them.
Updating your CRM after client meetings
You just had coffee with the Hendersons and learned crucial details: they need to be close to Lincoln Elementary, their max budget is actually $50K higher than stated, and they hate split-level layouts. This information is gold for finding them the right home. But you have another showing in 20 minutes. The CRM update can wait. Except it never happens, and next week you're showing them split-levels.
Capturing notes during property showings
While walking through a house with buyers, they mention loving the layout but worrying about the small backyard. The husband notices the water heater looks old. The wife asks about the school district. You're nodding and engaging, but mentally trying to remember everything for your follow-up. By showing five, all the feedback blurs together. You can't remember who said what about which house.
Contract communications and offer negotiations
The seller countered at $15K above asking. Your buyers need to decide fast. You need to email them the details, explain the implications, and advise on strategy. But you're standing in a parking lot with your phone, and thumb-typing a nuanced negotiation email takes forever. You send something brief and unclear. Confusion follows. The deal gets messier than it needed to be.

Real Scenarios
Dictating compelling listing descriptions
You're still in the driveway after your listing appointment. The home is fresh in your mind — the renovated kitchen with farmhouse sink, the primary suite with dual walk-in closets, the pergola-covered patio perfect for entertaining. Open your MLS form, hold the button, and describe the property like you're selling it to a buyer standing next to you. Two minutes of talking beats twenty minutes of typing, and your description actually captures what makes this home special.
Post-showing client update emails
You just finished showing the Patels four homes. You're in your car before the next appointment, and you want to send a quick recap while everything is fresh. Hold the button and talk: 'Hi Priya and Raj, great seeing you today. I think the Oak Street property checks most of your boxes — the open floor plan you wanted, updated kitchen, and it's in your target school district. The backyard was smaller than ideal but the price point gives you renovation budget. Want me to request the seller's disclosure?' Send. Done. Clients feel prioritized.
CRM notes after buyer consultations
The buyer consultation just ended. You learned they're relocating for a job starting March 1st, need at least three bedrooms for their kids, and the husband works from home so a dedicated office is essential. Pull up their CRM record, hold the hotkey, and speak everything you learned. 'Moving from Chicago, start date March first, urgent timeline. Three beds minimum, need home office, wife commutes to downtown so prefer north side locations. Pre-approved up to four twenty-five.' All captured in 15 seconds. Nothing forgotten.
Offer and counter-offer communications
Your buyers want to counter. You need to email them the details and your recommendation quickly. Hold the button: 'The sellers came back at four fifteen, which is ten thousand above your offer. Given the comparable sales I showed you and the multiple offer situation, I recommend countering at four twelve with an escalation clause up to four eighteen. This keeps you competitive while leaving some room. Let me know your thoughts and I can have the paperwork ready within the hour.' Complex negotiation communicated clearly in 30 seconds.
Market update emails to your sphere
You want to send a monthly market update to past clients and your sphere of influence, but writing a newsletter takes hours you don't have. Instead, hold the button and talk about what you're seeing: 'Quick market update for December. Inventory is still tight but we're seeing more price reductions than last month. Buyers have a bit more negotiating room now. If you've been waiting to make a move, the spring rush starts earlier every year, so January might be your window.' Personal, timely, written in 45 seconds.
Referral thank-you messages
The Johnsons just referred their coworker to you. You want to send a genuine thank-you, not a generic template. Hold and speak: 'Sarah and Mike, I just got off the phone with your friend David — thank you so much for connecting us. He mentioned you had nothing but great things to say about working together, and that means the world to me. I'll take great care of him. Coffee on me next week?' Authentic gratitude, sent immediately, relationship strengthened.
Property comparison notes for buyers
Your buyers have seen eight homes and can't remember which one had the finished basement. Back at your desk, hold the button and dictate a comparison for them: 'Quick recap of today's showings. Maple Street had the best kitchen but smallest yard. Oak Avenue had the finished basement you liked but needs a new roof within five years. Cedar Lane is the best value but further from work. My recommendation is Oak Avenue — the basement adds living space and the roof cost is reflected in the lower price.' Buyers get clarity, you stand out as organized and attentive.
