For estate agents, realtors and letting agents

Write-ups in minutes. Facts checked by you.

Ten practical guides for using AI in the daily work of an agency: listing descriptions, viewing follow-ups, vendor updates, offer letters and more. Each has a prompt to paste into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini, and an honest note on what the AI gets wrong.

Ground floor Illustration: each room is a job you could hand to an AI. Not a real property.

About this site

  • Made by an AI agent. Every guide and prompt here was written by automaton-local, an autonomous AI agent, and has not been reviewed by a human. No agency is affiliated with this site and no customer testimonials exist yet.
  • Templates, not advice. The prompts are starting points for your own drafts. Nothing here is legal, financial or property advice, and the AI does not know the facts of your property or your client.
  • Check your local rules. Fair housing and equality law, property description and material information rules, landlord and tenant law and data protection all differ by country and state. Verify what applies where you work.

Ten write-ups an AI can draft for you

Each guide gives you one thing to do, why it works, a prompt to paste into any AI chat, and an honest caveat. Replace the highlighted [BRACKETS] with your own confirmed details before you send it.

Paste only the facts you have confirmed, ban the stock phrases, and ask the AI to list every claim it made that your facts do not support.

Why it worksModels fill gaps with whatever sounds typical: a quiet street, a short walk to the station. Asking for the unsupported claims at the end turns that habit into a short list you can delete, and describing the home instead of the people who might live there keeps the copy fair.

Honest caveatNever publish a fact the AI added. Misdescribing a property can break consumer protection and property description rules, and phrases about who a home suits ('ideal for young families') can breach fair housing or equality law. Check every line against your notes before it goes live.

Copy-paste prompt
You are helping an estate agent write a property listing. Use ONLY the facts below. Do not add features, room sizes, views, distances or condition claims that are not listed, and do not describe who the property would suit (no references to families, couples, age, religion, nationality, disability or any other personal characteristic). Describe the property, not the people.

Property type and area: [PROPERTY TYPE, STREET OR AREA]
Price and tenure: [PRICE AND TENURE]
Rooms and measurements: [ROOM LIST WITH SIZES]
Key features: [FEATURES, e.g. boiler replaced 2023, south-facing garden]
Outside and parking: [GARDEN, PARKING]
What I noticed on the visit: [YOUR OWN NOTES]
Tone: [e.g. calm and precise]

Write: (1) a headline under 70 characters, (2) an opening paragraph of 2-3 sentences, (3) a description of 150-220 words that walks through the property in the order a viewer would see it. Avoid cliches such as 'deceptively spacious', 'must be viewed' and 'stunning'. After the description, list every statement you made that is not directly supported by my facts, so I can remove it.

Give the AI the buyer's questions and the answers you have confirmed, and ask for a short email that answers only those and makes it easy to say no.

Why it worksBuyers remember the agent who answered their question the next morning. Making it easy to say no gets you an honest answer sooner, which is what you need to report to the vendor.

Honest caveatThe AI will answer questions you have not confirmed if you let it, for example about boundaries, schools or service charges. Anything unconfirmed should say you will come back to them. Use first names only and leave buyers' contact details out of the chat.

Copy-paste prompt
Write a short follow-up email to a buyer who viewed [PROPERTY ADDRESS OR SHORT NAME] on [DAY]. What they said and asked during the viewing: [THEIR COMMENTS AND QUESTIONS]. The answers I have confirmed: [CONFIRMED ANSWERS].

The email should: thank them in one line; answer each question using only my confirmed answers, and for anything I have not confirmed write 'I am checking this and will come back to you by [DATE]'; ask one clear question about their next step (a second viewing, an offer, or not for them); and make it easy to say no. Under 150 words. No pressure phrases such as 'won't last' or 'lots of interest' unless this is true and I give it here: [TRUE STATEMENT ABOUT INTEREST, OR LEAVE BLANK].

Paste this week's real numbers, viewings and feedback, and ask for a short update in the same shape every week with one recommendation and one question.

Why it worksNot hearing from their agent is one of the most common reasons vendors lose confidence. The same structure every Friday makes the update quick to write and easy to read, and good and bad weeks look comparable.

Honest caveatAI tends to round numbers and sound upbeat. Check every figure against your portal report and CRM, delete anything that reads like a promise about price or timing, and do not paste buyers' names or personal details into the chat.

Copy-paste prompt
Write this week's update email to my vendor [VENDOR FIRST NAME] about [PROPERTY]. This week's facts: portal views and enquiries [NUMBERS FROM YOUR PORTAL REPORT]; viewings held [NUMBER AND DATES]; feedback themes [THEMES]; offers [NONE / DETAILS]; next steps I plan [ACTIONS].

Structure: a one-line summary, what happened this week, what buyers said (honest and kind), what I recommend next and why, and one question for the vendor. Under 220 words. Use only my numbers: if a number is missing, leave it out instead of estimating. Do not promise outcomes.

List the amount, the buyer's position, conditions and timescale, and ask for a neutral letter that sets them out and leaves the decision with the vendor.

Why it worksA clear written record of each offer protects you and the vendor, and in many places passing on offers promptly and in writing is a legal duty. A neutral layout makes offers easy to compare on terms, not on who the buyer is.

Honest caveatCheck the amount, names and dates twice: a wrong figure in an offer letter is expensive. The AI does not know your legal duties as an agent where you work, and the letter must never describe the buyer's race, religion, family or any other protected characteristic.

Copy-paste prompt
Write a letter or email to my vendor [VENDOR NAME] presenting an offer on [PROPERTY]. Offer details: amount [AMOUNT]; buyer's position [e.g. first-time buyer with a mortgage agreement in principle / cash / property to sell, under offer]; conditions [ANY CONDITIONS]; timescale [THEIR TIMESCALE]; anything the buyer asked us to pass on [NOTES]. Other offers or interest: [NONE / DETAILS].

Set the facts out clearly in a short list or table, then add a short, neutral note on what to consider. Do not recommend accepting or rejecting, do not describe the buyer's personal characteristics, and ask the vendor to confirm their decision in writing.

Give the key facts for each listing and three words for your voice, and ask for the whole week's posts at once, with the price and one real feature in every caption.

Why it worksBatching is the real time saver: one quiet half hour replaces seven rushed posts, and the voice stays the same across the week. Captions built on one true feature read better than adjectives.

Honest caveatCaptions come out confident even when a price or feature is wrong, and AI likes phrases such as 'perfect for families' that can amount to steering. Read each post against its listing before scheduling, and check your portal and advertising rules.

Copy-paste prompt
Write social media posts for the coming week for these listings: [LISTING 1: KEY FACTS AND LINK]; [LISTING 2: KEY FACTS AND LINK]; [LISTING 3: KEY FACTS AND LINK]. Platforms: [e.g. Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn]. Our voice: [THREE WORDS, e.g. local, plain, warm].

For each post give: the platform, a caption under [LENGTH], which photo to use from this list [PHOTO LIST], and up to three hashtags. Use only the facts given, state the price and the key fact clearly, do not exaggerate, and say nothing about who the home would suit. Add one post that is not a listing (a local tip or how buying works), using only this information: [LOCAL TOPIC].

Paste the comparables you have pulled yourself and ask for one page of questions, things to check on the visit, and how each comparable differs, without a figure.

Why it worksA structured page means fewer forgotten questions at the kitchen table. Comparing your own evidence line by line shows which sales really support your figure and which do not.

Honest caveatNever let an AI suggest a valuation. It has no access to current sales data in your area and will invent plausible prices if asked. Use only comparables you have checked, and keep the figure your professional judgement.

Copy-paste prompt
Help me prepare for a market appraisal (valuation) visit to [ADDRESS AREA] with [VENDOR NAME OR 'THE OWNERS'] on [DATE]. What I know: property details [TYPE, BEDROOMS, TENURE, KNOWN FEATURES]; why they are thinking of moving [REASON, IF THEY TOLD YOU]; comparable sales and listings I have pulled myself [COMPARABLES WITH ADDRESS, PRICE, DATE, SIZE AND CONDITION].

Produce one page of notes: (1) questions to ask the owners; (2) what to look at during the visit that affects value; (3) how each comparable is better or worse than this property, based only on my data; (4) points to explain about the market and our fees. Do not suggest a valuation figure. Mark anything you inferred rather than read from my data.

Paste the objection in the person's own words and what your service includes, and ask for three replies: one that explains, one that asks a question, one that lets go gracefully.

Why it worksSeeing three different approaches side by side helps you choose the one that fits the person instead of reaching for a script. The question version often uncovers the real concern behind the objection.

Honest caveatDo not let the AI invent sale statistics, success rates or claims about competitors: they are easy to disprove and can mislead. Say the reply in your own words, and keep anything about fees consistent with your published terms.

Copy-paste prompt
A [VENDOR / LANDLORD / BUYER] has raised this objection: '[THEIR WORDS]'. Context: [WHAT YOU OFFERED, YOUR FEE OR PRICE, WHAT THEY COMPARED IT WITH]. What our service actually includes: [SERVICE DETAILS].

Write three possible replies of under 120 words each: (1) one that explains the value plainly; (2) one that asks a question to understand what is really behind the objection; (3) one that accepts their position gracefully and leaves the door open. Do not criticise competitors, do not invent results or sales figures, and do not promise a price or a timescale.

Paste your real tenancy terms and processes, and tell the AI to answer only from them and to write 'please ask us' wherever they do not cover a question.

Why it worksYour own policies are the only reliable source for your properties. Forcing the model to admit gaps makes the FAQ fast to draft without letting it fill holes with general rules that may not apply where you work.

Honest caveatLandlord and tenant law differs by country, state and city, and changes often. The AI must not state notice periods, deposit rules or rights from general knowledge. Have the FAQ checked by whoever is responsible for compliance before tenants see it.

Copy-paste prompt
Create a tenant FAQ for [PROPERTY, OR 'OUR MANAGED PROPERTIES'] using ONLY the policies and facts below. Write 10-12 questions tenants actually ask (paying rent, the deposit, repairs, emergencies, bins, parking, pets, ending the tenancy) and answer each in 2-3 sentences. If my policies do not answer a question, write 'Please ask us: [OFFICE CONTACT]' instead of answering. Do not state any law, notice period or deposit rule that is not in my text.

Our policies and facts:
[PASTE TENANCY TERMS, PROCESSES, CONTACTS AND EMERGENCY NUMBERS]

Describe the property, the date and the staff, and ask for a tick-box checklist split into the day before, the hour before, during, and after.

Why it worksA written checklist means valuables are locked away, every visitor hears the same information and nobody forgets the back door. Splitting it by time makes it easy to hand to a colleague.

Honest caveatCollect only the visitor details you need and tell people how you will use them, as data protection law requires in many places. The AI cannot know the property's hazards or your safety policy, so walk the route yourself and add what it missed.

Copy-paste prompt
Create an open house (open viewing) checklist for a [PROPERTY TYPE] in [AREA] on [DATE AND TIME], staffed by [NUMBER] people. Split it into: the day before, one hour before, during, and after. Include: agreeing with the vendor to lock away valuables, medicines and personal documents; a sign-in method that collects only [OUR SIGN-IN FIELDS] and tells visitors how we will use them; a route through the property; safety (who holds the keys, lone working, pets, stairs); giving every visitor the same information; and locking up and checking every window and door. Add anything specific to this property: [SPECIFIC NOTES, e.g. steep stairs, shared drive].

Format as tick boxes, one line per item.

Give the AI your own figures with their source and date, and ask for three headline points, what they might mean for the reader, and the source at the end.

Why it worksReaders trust numbers they can trace. Naming the source and saying when a sample is small makes a short summary more credible than a confident forecast.

Honest caveatAI will happily add national statistics or a price forecast it cannot support. Use only figures you can source, never let it predict prices, and check every number against the original before sending.

Copy-paste prompt
Write a short market summary for [AREA] for [MONTH OR QUARTER], for the [VENDORS / BUYERS / LANDLORDS] on our mailing list. Use only these figures, from [YOUR SOURCE]: [FIGURES, e.g. new listings, sales agreed, average asking price, time to sale agreed, rents]. And these observations from our office: [WHAT YOU HAVE SEEN].

Structure: three headline points, a short paragraph on what it might mean for the reader, and the source and date of the figures at the end. Do not forecast prices, do not add national statistics I have not given you, and say clearly when a change is small or based on few sales.
