Start safely
Best practices
Fair Housing first
AI listing copy can quietly produce language that violates the Fair Housing Act. Phrases like "perfect for families," "great for young professionals," or "safe and quiet neighborhood" can read as steering on protected classes. The law looks at effect, not intent. HUD confirmed in 2024 that the Act applies to AI-generated advertising, so review every description before it goes live.
Fact-check every output
AI will confidently invent square footage, school names, or features. Verify everything against the MLS sheet.
Human review before publish
AI drafts, you approve. Never paste and publish.
Mind MLS and brokerage rules
Check your MLS and brokerage policies on AI-generated content and disclosures.
