how to use Chatgpt
for real estate agents

1. Know What ChatGPT Can Help With
Here are just a few real estate-specific tasks ChatGPT can handle:
  • Write listing descriptions in your tone/voice
  • Draft email templates or social posts
  • Brainstorm open house ideas or event invites
  • Create content for newsletters or postcards
  • Answer client questions (and help you prep answers)
  • Rewrite or simplify legal-sounding language

2. Start with a Clear Prompt
The better your question or request, the better the result.

✔️ Example (good):
“Write a listing description for a 3-bed, 2-bath ranch in Cheyenne with a finished basement and large backyard. Make it upbeat and less than 150 words.”

❌ Example (bad):
“Write something about this house.”

3. Talk to It Like a Human
You don’t need fancy instructions. Just speak naturally. You can even say:

  • “This needs more excitement.”
  • “Can you make it shorter?”
  • “Write this like I’m texting a friend.”

You’re allowed to ask for edits and tweaks — treat it like your marketing assistant.

4. Add Local Flair
Make results feel personal and relevant by mentioning:

  • Your city or neighborhood
  • Local landmarks, schools, or events
  • Who your target audience is (e.g., first-time buyers, downsizers, military families)

5. Don’t Copy + Paste Without Reading
  • ChatGPT gives you a starting point — but always proofread.
  • Make sure the info is accurate, and sprinkle in your own touch or style.

Bonus Tips
  • Use it on your phone or computer — just go to chat.openai.com
  • Save favorite prompts you use often
  • If something’s not right, just say: “Try again” or “Give me 3 new options.”
  • There's an app you can download that makes reaching for it easy.
  • There's a free version and a $20/mo paid version. The paid version can be worthwhile if you want: 

Free Version (GPT-3.5):
  • Great for basic tasks like writing listing descriptions, emails, or brainstorming ideas. 
  • Fast and helpful, but not always as accurate or creative.

Paid Version ($20/month – GPT-4):
  • Access to GPT-4, which is smarter, more reliable, and better at understanding context. 
  • Handles more complex tasks
  • Remembers details better during longer chats, and often gives higher-quality results.

Bottom line: Free is solid for everyday use. Paid is worth it if you use it often or want more polished, professional output.
