SAN FRANCISCO, July 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Sidekick, the pioneering generative AI assistant designed to elevate the productivity and effectiveness of real estate agents, teams, and brokerages, today announced a partnership with The MLS. This partnership marks Sidekick's entry into the Greater Los Angeles market, bringing its cutting-edge integrated datasets and AI workflow tools to over 18,000 members.

Since its launch in November 2023, Sidekick has led the industry conversation in AI Assistants by offering capabilities such as real-time market and property data analysis, valuation assessments, and a comprehensive suite of productivity tools—all at a speed and cost significantly more favorable than traditional virtual assistants.

Sidekick has also been honored as a Finalist for both Company of the Year and Most Innovative Use of AI in the 2024 Inman Innovator Awards. 

"Extending Sidekick’s footprint to the Los Angeles market is an exciting milestone for us," said Michael Martin, co-founder of Sidekick. "The enthusiasm we’ve already seen from Realtors in LA is a reflection of Sidekick’s growing popularity, and we can’t wait to collaborate with the team at The MLS to bring Sidekick’s full capability suite to its membership."

Sidekick users benefit from features such as creating CMA presentations, generating detailed market reports, and managing emails and calendars—all through a user-friendly conversational interface. The AI's adaptability to learn user preferences and implement them in real-time has made Sidekick an essential tool for real estate professionals looking to stay ahead in a dynamic market environment.

Sidekick’s partnership with The MLS is a combination of two innovative industry leaders; The MLS is also a finalist for Top MLS, Association, or Industry Organization in the 2024 Inman Innovator Awards.
