Amazon now has a finger in absolutely every pie, after the online retail giant’s latest announcement revealed it made moves into the property market.
How?
Amazon.com Inc collaborated with US real estate company Realogy to launch ‘TurnKey’, which helps customers reach real estate agents from Realogy’s brands, which include Century 21 and Sotheby’s International Realty.
The platform is available in 15 US cities already, and for Realogy, the partnership is giving its brands a leg up in the residential real estate agency, Bloomberg reported.
What does TurnKey do?
Amazon’s TurnKey platform purports to match you with a “hand-selected, local real estate agent” who then helps you find and purchase your “dream home”.

“After closing, your Amazon team will take the lead, providing you with thousands back in Amazon Home Services and fully installed smart home products,” Amazon’s site says.
