Written between open homes, not in a marketing office

Most "AI prompts for real estate" lists are written by people who have never had a buyer go quiet the week before a decision. I sold property on the Gold Coast for years, and the prompts below come from the pack I built — the follow-up, negotiation-prep and inbox prompts in particular are straight out of my own week. All seven are quoted in full, so you can copy, paste and use them today without buying anything.

Two things before we start. First, nothing here promises you a result. A prompt drafts; you verify, edit and send. What it can do is take the blank-page part off your plate, and how much time that hands back depends on you. Results vary. Second, this article is general information, not legal advice. Your state legislation, your licensing body and your principal licensee come first, always.

The 15-minute setup that makes every prompt work better

Prompts underperform when the AI has no standing instructions, because you re-explain yourself every session and the output drifts. The fix is a saved workspace: a Project in Claude, a Custom GPT in ChatGPT, or a Gem in Gemini (the names and where they live are as publicly reported at time of writing, so verify in-app).

In the instructions box, tell it where you work, that you write in Australian English, that it must never invent features, measurements or legal claims, and that every email ends with a clear next action. Then upload one of your best past listings and tell it: this is the voice I want, match the rhythm, not the words. That one upload does more for output quality than any clever prompt wording.

1. The listing description without the agent-speak

You did not get into real estate to rewrite the same listing description for the 400th time. This prompt structures the copy the way buyers actually read: lifestyle first, then a spatial walk through the home, then the location angle for that specific buyer profile. The banned-words list at the end is doing quiet compliance work too, because the same superlatives that make copy sound like every other agent are also where misleading-conduct risk tends to live.

Write a long-form listing description for a property I'm taking
to market. Format for REA and domain.com.au. Length: 180-220
words. Australian English. Lead with the buyer's "Monday
morning" — what life in this home actually looks like, not
the feature list. Three short paragraphs:

  Paragraph 1 — The lifestyle hook (no features, just the
                experience). 50-70 words.
  Paragraph 2 — The home itself, walking the buyer through
                it in spatial order (front door → main living
                → kitchen → outdoor → bedrooms). Embed
                features here, don't list them. 70-90 words.
  Paragraph 3 — The location — the 3 things that matter most
                for THIS buyer profile. End with a soft
                call-to-action. 50-70 words.

Then give me a 60-word "highlights" version for syndication
to social. Never use: "nestled", "elevated", "boasts", "stunning",
"a must-see", "in the heart of", "tightly-held".

Property details:
[PASTE THE FULL PROPERTY BRIEF HERE — bedrooms, bathrooms,
car spaces, land size, key features, the buyer profile,
the suburb, the price guide]

Practical note: the output is only as honest as the brief you paste in. Give it the real bedroom count, the real land size and the real buyer profile, and read the draft against the contract and the plan before it goes anywhere near REA.

2. The post-inspection follow-up buyers reply to

The generic "thanks for coming through Saturday" email gets deleted. The follow-up that references the exact thing the buyer said at the door gets a reply. This prompt forces that specificity, and just as importantly it stops you asking for a decision the buyer is not ready to make.

I met [NAME] at today's inspection at [ADDRESS]. They said
[KEY THING THEY SAID — e.g., "we love it but we're worried
about the school catchment"]. Write the follow-up email
that:
  - References what they said (specific, not generic)
  - Gives them the answer or the next step on their concern
  - Doesn't ask them to make a decision yet
  - Ends with a low-stakes next move

Under 130 words.

One compliance caution: if their concern is a factual one, like a school catchment or a zoning question, do not let the AI answer it from thin air. Look it up on the official source, then give the buyer the verified answer or point them to where they can check it themselves.

3. The two-minute prep before an offer call

This is the prompt I would keep if I could only keep one. Run it in the car before you dial. The bullet that earns its place is "the 1 number I shouldn't volunteer", because most negotiation damage happens when an agent talks past the close.

I'm about to call [VENDOR / BUYER] about an offer on
[ADDRESS]. The offer is [AMOUNT] versus the vendor
expectation of [AMOUNT]. Give me a 5-bullet brief:
  - The 3 things I should open with
  - The 1 number I shouldn't volunteer
  - The 2 objections most likely to come up
  - How I land the close if they say yes
  - What I do if they say no — the immediate next move

The AI does not know your vendor or your market, so treat the brief as a rehearsal partner, not a script from on high. It structures your thinking; the judgement on the call is still yours.

4. The compliance check before anything goes live

Every listing in your pipeline should pass through something like this before publication. It will not replace your principal's sign-off or your state's rules, but it catches the lazy claim you wrote at 9pm before it becomes a complaint.

Read this listing description and flag:
  - Any claim that needs substantiation (statements about
    investment return, capital growth, school catchments,
    council approvals, future development)
  - Any superlative that crosses into misleading conduct
  - Any wording that could expose me under ACCC /
    state real-estate legislation

Then rewrite the flagged parts in compliant language.

[PASTE LISTING]

Use it as a first filter, not a final authority. An AI can flag risk patterns; it cannot certify compliance, and it does not know this week's regulatory guidance unless you tell it.

5. The quality check on copy you already wrote

This one takes a draft you have already written and turns the critic on you. It tells you where the copy lapses into agent-speak, where a scroller would bail in the first eight words, and the single change that would improve it most, then rewrites the opening paragraph so you can see the difference rather than imagine it.

Critique this listing description I wrote. Australian
real-estate market. Tell me:
  - Where it lapses into agent-speak
  - Any banned words ("nestled", "stunning", etc.)
  - Where it would lose a scroller in the first 8 words
  - One change that would make the strongest single
    improvement
Then rewrite the opening paragraph.

[PASTE YOUR DRAFT]

Running it over your last three published listings is an uncomfortable, useful hour. Expect to lose an adjective habit or two.

6. The price-reduction call nobody enjoys

For the conversation every private treaty agent dreads: weeks on market, soft numbers, and a price that has to move. Full disclosure — I sell off-the-plan for a developer, so this exact call is not part of my own week. If you carry private listings it will be part of yours, and the prompt's own instructions are the point: no softening it into nothing, no apologising for the market.

I need to call [VENDOR] and tell them that after [WEEKS]
weeks on market with [NUMBER] groups through and [NUMBER]
offers, the market is telling us the price needs to come
down to [AMOUNT]. Write the script. Don't soften it into
nothing. Don't apologise for the market. Land the ask.

Read the script out loud before you dial and change anything that does not sound like you. A vendor can hear a script; what they should hear is preparation.

7. The morning inbox triage

A morning routine rather than a writing task. Paste your subject lines and first sentences, and it sorts everything into four piles with a one-line reply drafted for each urgent item.

I'm going to paste the subject lines + first sentences of
the 20 emails in my inbox. Sort them into:
  - URGENT (vendor / buyer in current deal — reply today)
  - WARM (prospect or active lead — reply within 24h)
  - LATER (admin, vendor that can wait, newsletters)
  - ARCHIVE (no action needed)
And for the URGENT pile, give me the 1-line reply for each.

[PASTE INBOX HERE]

It aims to turn the morning email fog into a short list; how much time that actually hands back will vary week to week, and the one-line replies are drafts to edit, not sends.

The compliance notes most prompt lists skip

If you hold a licence in Australia, the AI's output is your representation the moment you publish it. The tool is not accountable to the ACCC or your state regulator; you are. So a few working rules, framed for Queensland agents but relevant everywhere.

Superlatives are a two-part problem. "Stunning" and "a must-see" are merely lazy, but claims like "the best street in the suburb" or anything implying investment return or capital growth can cross into misleading or deceptive conduct under the Australian Consumer Law. Industry guidance in most states pushes agents toward factual, substantiated advertising — if you work in Queensland, check the REIQ's current guidance directly rather than taking my word for it — and the compliance prompt above exists precisely to catch this category.

Never publish an AI-stated fact without checking the source document. Measurements, school catchments, council approvals, zoning and body corporate details must come from the contract, the plan, the council or the official catchment map, not from a language model's confident guess. And price representations carry state-specific rules: NSW and Victoria have statutory underquoting regimes, and Queensland has its own restrictions on price guides for auction properties. Check your state's current rules before you write a guide into anything. Again: general information, not legal advice.

What these prompts won't do

An honest limits list, because the hype versions of these articles never include one. These prompts will not win you a listing, sell a property, or earn you a dollar; they draft words, and words are maybe a fifth of the job. They do not know your comparables, your buyer's real motivation, or what the vendor said at the kitchen table, so a thin brief in means a generic draft out. They will confidently invent facts if your input has gaps, which is why every factual claim needs your eyes before it ships. They cannot hear tone on a phone call, and the negotiation prompts are rehearsal aids, not a substitute for judgement.

Free tiers of Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini are genuinely enough to run everything above, with usage limits as publicly reported at time of writing, so verify current terms in-app. Start free, and only pay for a tool once it is clearly earning its keep in your week. That is the whole philosophy: a process you own and control, not a subscription treadmill, and results that depend on how you use it.
