North Shore-Barrington Association of REALTORS® Partners with Voiceflip
Northbrook, IL – April 23, 2025 – The North Shore-Barrington Association of REALTORS® (NSBAR) is proud to announce a strategic partnership with Voiceflip to launch Ardi, an AI-powered virtual assistant designed to enhance member services and support nearly 4,000 real estate professionals across Chicago’s North Shore and northwest suburban regions.
Ardi, short for Artificial Reasoning and Decision Intelligence, responds to member questions on a wide range of topics, including association policies, member benefits, and industry updates. Available 24/7 across five platforms, including SMS, voice, web app, WhatsApp, and Facebook Messenger, and fluent in more than 25 languages, Ardi makes it easy for NSBAR members to get what they need, when they need it.
“At NSBAR, we’re focused on helping our members grow, one professional at a time,” said Jeff Lasky, CEO of NSBAR. “Ardi is the next step in that mission, giving every member fast, accurate support right at their fingertips.”
Unlike traditional support systems, Ardi doesn’t wait on hold. It manages a high volume of questions instantly, gets smarter the more it's used, and frees up staff to focus on the work that truly needs a human touch. For REALTORS®, that means quicker decisions, better client conversations, and less time spent hunting down answers. Whether it’s understanding contract timelines or navigating association policies, Ardi delivers reliable information when it matters most—building confidence and reducing stress for everyone involved.
“We’re thrilled to help NSBAR bring Ardi to life,” said Kurtis Cicalo, CEO of Voiceflip. “Our mission is to make great information accessible, so REALTORS® always feel confident, supported, and one step ahead.”
With the introduction of Ardi, NSBAR reinforces its dedication to supporting REALTORS® and empowering them with tools that ultimately benefit consumers, ensuring a more seamless and informed real estate experience for everyone involved.
