Write listings with AI, safely

Get great listing copy without invented features or Fair Housing problems.

3 min read · Guide 3 of 10

AI is excellent at listing descriptions, but it has two risks: it can invent details, and it can slip in language that describes people instead of the property. Both are fixable with the right prompt and a quick review.

Step by step

  1. Start from verified facts

    Copy beds, baths, square footage, upgrades and features from your listing sheet.

  2. Tell it not to invent

    Add: "Use only these facts. If something is missing, ask me instead of guessing."

  3. Describe the home, not the buyer

    Avoid phrases about who should live there ("perfect for young families", "ideal for retirees"). Describe features: "three bedrooms near a park".

  4. Check your MLS rules

    Character limits, required disclosures and words your MLS bans.

  5. Read it out loud

    If anything isn't true or sounds off, fix it before publishing.

Facts-only listing description

You are an experienced real estate copywriter. Write an MLS listing description using ONLY the facts below. Do not add features, upgrades, views, measurements, school names or distances that aren't listed. If a detail would help but is missing, list it under "Questions for the agent" instead of guessing.

Rules:
- Lead with the single strongest feature.
- [WORD LIMIT] words maximum, plain language, no clichés ("nestled", "boasts", "must-see").
- Describe the home and its features, never the type of buyer.

Facts:
[PASTE BEDS, BATHS, SQ FT, YEAR, UPGRADES, LOT, PARKING, NEIGHBOURHOOD FEATURES YOU HAVE VERIFIED]
