2Use the prompt below, or the AI writer in your CRM or MLS.
3Check every fact and the MLS character limit.
4Remove any wording about who the home is "perfect for" (family status, age, religion and so on) to stay within fair housing rules.

Prompt to copy

Write a listing description for [ADDRESS OR AREA] under [CHARACTER LIMIT] characters. Facts: [BEDS, BATHS, SQ FT, LOT, YEAR, UPGRADES, FEATURES]. Highlight: [TOP 3 SELLING POINTS]. Tone: warm and specific, no clichés like "must see". Describe the property, not the type of buyer, and follow fair housing rules. Then write a 2-sentence Instagram caption and a 50-word email blurb. Use only the facts I gave.
