They are called "talking Houses" -- TRhat's the name of the
company that manufactures these transmitters/digital voice
recorders. A realtor puts one of these boxes in the house 
that's for sale, voices a 60 second spot on the chip, sets
a frequency, runs a wire and the thing is set. The 
transmitters pump out approximately 100 milliwatts, low
enough to be legal under current FCC regs.
