The Agent Who Doubled Her Business
Sarah was a good real estate agent. She closed 18 transactions last year. She knew her market. Her clients trusted her. But she was drowning.
Every listing took three hours to write. Market analyses ate entire afternoons. Client follow-ups fell through the cracks. Marketing campaigns? She’d get to those “next week.” Next week never came.
Then she integrated AI into her workflow. Not as a replacement for her expertise, but as an accelerant. Listings that took three hours now took forty minutes. CMAs that consumed an afternoon were drafted in an hour. Follow-up emails went out consistently, not sporadically.
She closed 34 transactions the next year. Same market knowledge. Same relationship skills. Twice the output.
What to Expect
This course is broken into focused, practical lessons. Each one builds on the last, with hands-on exercises and quizzes to lock in what you learn. You can work through the whole course in one sitting or tackle a lesson a day.
Where AI Fits in Real Estate
Real estate professionals spend their time in five areas. AI’s impact varies dramatically across them:
| Activity | Time Spent | AI Impact | How |
|---|---|---|---|
| Research & analysis | 25% | Very high | Market data synthesis, CMA preparation, neighborhood analysis, investment calculations |
| Writing & communication | 30% | Very high | Listings, emails, marketing copy, social media, newsletters |
| Client relationship | 20% | Moderate | Preparation for meetings, follow-up systems, personalized recommendations |
| Showing & negotiation | 15% | Low | AI helps prepare, but the human does the work |
| Administration | 10% | High | Transaction timelines, document checklists, task management |
The pattern is clear: AI transforms the 65% of your time spent on research, writing, and administration. This frees you to invest more in the 35% that drives your business, client relationships and deal-making.
The AI-Powered Real Estate Workflow
Here’s the workflow this course teaches:
RESEARCH → AI synthesizes market data, neighborhood info, comps
↓
LISTING → AI drafts compelling property descriptions
↓
MARKETING → AI creates campaigns, social posts, email sequences
↓
COMMUNICATION → AI drafts client emails, follow-ups, negotiation prep
↓
ANALYSIS → AI runs investment calculations, ROI projections
↓
TRANSACTION → AI manages timelines, checklists, documentation
↑
YOU VERIFY EVERYTHING → Your expertise, local knowledge, and judgment
That last line is non-negotiable. AI is your first draft, your research assistant, your analytical engine. But everything that reaches a client, a listing, or a transaction must pass through your professional judgment.
Setting Up Your AI Real Estate Toolkit
Your AI Assistant
Claude, ChatGPT, or similar. For real estate, you want an AI that handles long context well, since you’ll feed it property data, comparable sales, and client histories.
Your Real Estate Data Sources
AI is only as good as the data you give it. Gather your go-to sources:
- MLS access for comparable sales data
- County assessor records for property details and tax history
- Neighborhood data from sources like Walk Score, school ratings, crime statistics
- Market reports from your brokerage, NAR, or local association
- Your own transaction history and client notes
Your Template Library
Over this course, you’ll build a library of AI prompts for every common task. Start a document:
# MY REAL ESTATE AI TEMPLATES

[Prompts for different property types]
## Client Communication
[Email templates, follow-up sequences]
## Market Analysis
[CMA prompts, neighborhood research]

## Investment Analysis

## Transaction Management
[Timeline prompts, checklist generators]
Critical Guardrails: Fair Housing and Accuracy
Before you use AI for anything in real estate, understand the non-negotiable rules:
Fair Housing Compliance
AI doesn’t understand fair housing law. It might generate language that describes neighborhoods in ways that violate the Fair Housing Act, or use descriptive terms that are discriminatory.
Never use AI-generated descriptions without checking for:
- References to the racial, ethnic, or religious composition of a neighborhood
- Language that could be interpreted as steering
- Descriptions that favor or discourage certain types of buyers
- Any reference to protected classes
Data Accuracy
AI sometimes generates plausible-sounding data that’s completely fabricated. In real estate, inaccurate data can cost clients money and cost you your license.
Always verify:
- Property facts (square footage, lot size, year built, zoning)
- Comparable sales data (prices, dates, property details)
- Market statistics (days on market, median prices, inventory levels)
- School ratings, crime statistics, and neighborhood data
- Mortgage rates and financial calculations
Professional Standards
AI output is a draft, not a deliverable. Your professional reputation depends on accuracy, local knowledge, and expertise that AI doesn’t have.
Quick Win: Your First AI-Powered Task
Let’s do something immediately useful. Take a property you’re currently listing (or one you know well) and try this:
I'm a real estate agent writing a property listing.
Property details:
- Address/neighborhood: [location]
- Type: [single family, condo, townhouse, etc.]
- Beds/baths: [number]
- Square footage: [approx]
- Key features: [list 5-7 standout features]
- Target buyer: [who would love this home?]
- Price range: [listing price]
Write a compelling listing description that:
1. Opens with the most emotionally appealing feature
2. Paints a picture of the lifestyle, not just the specs
3. Mentions the neighborhood character briefly
4. Includes a call to action
5. Stays under 200 words
6. Avoids any language that could violate fair housing guidelines
Read the output. It’s probably 70-80% of the way there. Your local knowledge, your understanding of the buyer pool, and your feel for what makes this property special turn it into a listing that sells.
