Copy. Paste. Replace the brackets. Every prompt below is tested, specific, and ready for your next listing, lead, or social post.

Why Most AI Prompts Give You Generic Garbage

Placester reports that 58% of US real estate agents now use ChatGPT. That means more than half the industry is typing into the same box. And most of them are getting the same bland, corporate-sounding output.

The problem is not ChatGPT. The problem is the prompt.

Vague input gets vague output. "Write me a listing description" gives you something that reads like it was written by a committee. "Write a 120-word listing description for a mid-century modern in Silver Lake emphasizing the original walnut paneling and canyon views, using short punchy sentences" gives you something a buyer stops scrolling for.

Colibri Real Estate found that agents who use AI prompts well cut 15-20 hours per week of manual work down to 3-5 hours. That is 10-15 hours back. Every week.

The SPEAR Framework from Britney Muller nails the structure: Specificity, Persona, Examples, Ask, Refinement. Every prompt below follows this pattern, even when you do not see it labeled. The specificity is in the brackets. The persona is implied by the task. The ask is the instruction.

These 50 prompts are not cute suggestions. They are field-tested instructions organized by the work you actually do.

How to Use These Prompts

Every prompt below has [BRACKETS] where you plug in your details. Property address, client name, market stats, whatever the prompt needs. Replace the brackets, hit enter.

Two rules from Andrew Ng at DeepLearning.AI that make everything work better:

  1. Write clear, specific instructions. The more detail you give, the less editing you do after.
  2. Give the model time to think. For complex tasks, add "Let's think step by step" before the main instruction. This alone cuts errors on analysis prompts.

Want to go from good to great? Load a Context Card before any prompt. A Context Card tells ChatGPT who you are, your market, your voice, and your client base. Every prompt below gets better when the AI already knows your context.

The HOME Framework structures your Context Card: Hero (your role), Outcome (what you need), Materials (your data), Execution (format and constraints). When you see prompts below that feel like they are missing something, that something is usually your Context Card.

Listing Description Prompts

Listing descriptions are the gateway drug. Every agent starts here because the ROI is obvious: 20 minutes of writing becomes 90 seconds of prompting. But the difference between a generic description and one that generates showings is specificity. Each prompt below targets a different property type so the AI frames the copy around what buyers for that type care about.

Feed the AI your MLS data, your photos notes, and the one feature that makes this property different. That is the Materials step from the HOME Framework. Without it, you get descriptions that could apply to any house in any market.

1. Luxury Property

Prompt
Write a 150-word luxury listing description for [PROPERTY ADDRESS]. The home is [BEDS] bed, [BATHS] bath, [SQFT] sq ft. Key luxury features: [FEATURE 1], [FEATURE 2], [FEATURE 3]. The property sits in [NEIGHBORHOOD] and the target buyer is [BUYER PROFILE — e.g., executives relocating, empty nesters downsizing from estates]. Use sophisticated but not stuffy language. Short sentences. Lead with the most visually striking feature. End with a lifestyle statement about the neighborhood.

2. Starter Home

Prompt
Write a 120-word listing description for a first-time buyer home at [ADDRESS]. [BEDS] bed, [BATHS] bath, [SQFT] sq ft. Price: [PRICE]. Emphasize affordability, move-in readiness, and proximity to [NEARBY AMENITY — schools, transit, downtown]. Tone: friendly, encouraging, zero condescension. Mention the monthly payment estimate at [RATE]% is approximately $[MONTHLY]. End with a call to schedule a showing.

3. Investment Property

Prompt
Write a 130-word listing description for an investment property at [ADDRESS]. [UNITS] units, [TOTAL SQFT] sq ft, current gross rent $[MONTHLY RENT]/month. Cap rate: [CAP RATE]%. Occupancy: [OCCUPANCY]%. Target audience: investors, not owner-occupants. Lead with the numbers. Include NOI if gross rent and expenses are provided. Mention [VALUE-ADD OPPORTUNITY — below-market rents, conversion potential, zoning upside]. Skip emotional language. Investors want math.

4. Condo / Townhome

Prompt
Write a 120-word listing description for a condo at [ADDRESS] in [BUILDING NAME]. [BEDS] bed, [BATHS] bath, [SQFT] sq ft. Floor [FLOOR NUMBER]. HOA: $[HOA]/month (covers [HOA INCLUSIONS — water, insurance, pool, gym]). Key features: [FEATURE 1], [FEATURE 2]. Highlight the low-maintenance lifestyle and what the HOA covers. Mention walkability to [NEARBY DESTINATIONS]. Short paragraphs. No cliches like 'urban oasis' or 'city living at its finest.'

5. Vacant Land

Prompt
Write a 100-word listing description for [ACRES] acres of vacant land at [ADDRESS/AREA]. Zoning: [ZONING TYPE]. Utilities: [AVAILABLE UTILITIES — power, water, septic, well]. Road access: [PAVED/GRAVEL/EASEMENT]. Best use case: [INTENDED USE — custom home, ranch, development, agriculture]. Target buyer: [BUYER TYPE]. Skip flowery language about 'endless possibilities.' Be specific about what you can build, what permits exist, and what infrastructure is already in place.

6. Fixer-Upper

Prompt
Write a 120-word listing description for a fixer-upper at [ADDRESS]. [BEDS] bed, [BATHS] bath, [SQFT] sq ft. Listed at [PRICE]. Estimated ARV (after-repair value): $[ARV]. Major items needed: [REPAIR 1], [REPAIR 2], [REPAIR 3]. What is in good condition: [GOOD FEATURE 1], [GOOD FEATURE 2]. Target both investors and ambitious owner-occupants. Lead with the spread between price and ARV. Be honest about the work needed — buyers who walk into a fixer expecting a turnkey are wasted showings.

7. New Construction

Prompt
Write a 130-word listing description for a new construction home at [ADDRESS] in [COMMUNITY NAME]. Builder: [BUILDER]. [BEDS] bed, [BATHS] bath, [SQFT] sq ft. Completion date: [DATE]. Included upgrades: [UPGRADE 1], [UPGRADE 2], [UPGRADE 3]. Energy features: [ENERGY FEATURES — spray foam, tankless water heater, smart thermostat]. Emphasize warranty coverage, modern floor plan, and energy savings. Compare estimated monthly energy cost to older homes in the area if data is available. Avoid 'brand new' — the reader already knows.

8. Waterfront Property

Prompt
Write a 140-word listing description for a waterfront home at [ADDRESS] on [BODY OF WATER]. [BEDS] bed, [BATHS] bath, [SQFT] sq ft. Waterfront features: [DOCK/BOAT LIFT/SEAWALL/BEACH ACCESS]. [FEET] feet of water frontage. Views from [WHICH ROOMS HAVE VIEWS]. Lead with the water — that is why anyone is reading this listing. Then cover the home. Mention any flood zone status, insurance implications, or waterfront-specific features (elevated foundation, impact windows). End with the experience: what it feels like to have morning coffee on that dock.

9. Historic Home

Prompt
Write a 130-word listing description for a historic home at [ADDRESS]. Built in [YEAR]. [BEDS] bed, [BATHS] bath, [SQFT] sq ft. Architectural style: [STYLE — Craftsman, Victorian, Colonial Revival]. Original features preserved: [FEATURE 1], [FEATURE 2], [FEATURE 3]. Modern updates: [UPDATE 1], [UPDATE 2]. Historic district: [YES/NO]. Tax credits available: [YES/NO]. Balance charm and practicality. Buyers love old houses until they learn about the plumbing. Address both the romance and the reality.

10. Open House Announcement

Prompt
Write a 100-word open house listing description for [ADDRESS] happening [DATE] from [TIME]. [BEDS] bed, [BATHS] bath, [SQFT] sq ft at $[PRICE]. The one feature that will get people in the door: [STANDOUT FEATURE]. Include parking instructions: [PARKING DETAILS]. Create urgency without being pushy — mention [DAYS ON MARKET] days on market or [NUMBER] showings scheduled this week. End with RSVP instructions or just 'walk in.'

Lead Follow-Up Prompts

Speed to lead matters. Conduit AI research shows AI-powered lead follow-up boosts volume 300% and conversion 30-40%. But speed without personalization is spam. These prompts balance both.

The key: feed ChatGPT the lead's context. Where did they come from? What did they look at? How long ago? The 5 Essentials framework starts with knowing your audience, and your lead source tells you a lot about intent. A Zillow lead browsing $800K homes at 11 PM is different from an open house sign-in who asked about schools.

11. First Response (Speed to Lead)

Prompt
Write a first-response text message (under 160 characters) and a follow-up email (under 100 words) for a new lead from [SOURCE — Zillow, Realtor.com, website, Facebook ad]. Lead name: [NAME]. They were looking at [PROPERTY OR SEARCH CRITERIA]. The text should feel human, not automated — use their first name and reference what they were looking at. The email should add value: one relevant listing, one market stat, one question to start a conversation.

12. Cold Lead Re-Engagement

Prompt
Write a 3-email re-engagement sequence for a lead who has not responded in [NUMBER] days. Lead name: [NAME]. Last known interest: [PROPERTY TYPE/AREA/PRICE RANGE]. First email: provide a market update relevant to their search — something changed that they should know about. Second email (3 days later): share a specific listing that matches their criteria with one personal note. Third email (5 days later): a soft close — 'Are you still looking, or has your situation changed?' Keep each email under 80 words.

13. Post-Showing Follow-Up

Prompt
Write a follow-up email (under 100 words) after a showing for [PROPERTY ADDRESS]. Buyer name: [NAME]. Their reaction during the showing: [POSITIVE/MIXED/CONCERNED ABOUT SPECIFIC ISSUE]. If positive: reinforce what they liked, mention one thing they might not have noticed, and suggest next steps (second showing, lender intro). If concerned: acknowledge the concern directly, provide context (inspection data, repair estimate, neighborhood trend), and offer an alternative property at [ALTERNATIVE ADDRESS].

14. Price Reduction Alert

Prompt
Write a personalized email (under 80 words) notifying [LEAD NAME] about a price reduction on [PROPERTY ADDRESS]. Old price: $[OLD PRICE]. New price: $[NEW PRICE]. Reduction: $[AMOUNT] ([PERCENTAGE]%). This property matches their criteria because [REASON — location, size, price range]. Create urgency with facts, not hype: mention [DAYS ON MARKET], [NUMBER OF SAVES/VIEWS], or [COMPETING OFFERS IF KNOWN]. End with one clear call to action.

15. Client Anniversary / Check-In

Prompt
Write a home purchase anniversary email (under 80 words) for [CLIENT NAME] who bought [PROPERTY ADDRESS] on [DATE]. Their home has appreciated approximately $[AMOUNT] ([PERCENTAGE]%) based on [DATA SOURCE — Zillow estimate, recent comps, your CMA]. Tone: warm, celebratory, not salesy. Mention the equity gain as a fun fact, not a pitch. Close with 'If you ever have questions about your home's value or the market, I am always here.' — genuine, not transactional.

16. Referral Request

Prompt
Write a referral request email (under 80 words) for [CLIENT NAME] who closed [TIMEFRAME] ago. Reference a specific positive moment from your transaction: [SPECIFIC MOMENT — the negotiation win, the inspection save, finding their dream home after X showings]. Do not say 'I would love your referrals.' Instead: 'If anyone you know is thinking about buying or selling, I would be happy to give them the same level of attention.' Subtle difference. Massive impact.

17. Open House Lead Follow-Up

Prompt
Write a same-day follow-up email (under 80 words) for [VISITOR NAME] who attended the open house at [ADDRESS] today. They mentioned interest in [WHAT THEY MENTIONED — the kitchen, the backyard, the school district, the price]. Provide one piece of value they did not get at the open house: [A COMP, A NEIGHBORHOOD STAT, A COMING-SOON LISTING]. Ask one question to continue the conversation. Do not attach a pre-approval pitch in the first email.

18. Expired Listing Outreach

Prompt
Write a prospecting email (under 100 words) for the owner of [ADDRESS], an expired listing that was on the market for [DAYS] days at $[PRICE]. Do not trash the previous agent. Instead: 'The market has shifted since your listing expired. Here is what changed: [1-2 SPECIFIC MARKET CHANGES — inventory levels, interest rates, buyer demand in their area].' Offer a free updated CMA. Position yourself through data, not promises. End with: 'Would a 15-minute call this week make sense?'

19. FSBO Outreach

Prompt
Write a prospecting email (under 100 words) for a FSBO seller at [ADDRESS] listed at $[PRICE]. Do not open with 'I can sell your home faster.' Open with value: 'I noticed your listing on [PLATFORM]. Similar homes in [NEIGHBORHOOD] have sold for $[COMP PRICE RANGE] in the last [TIMEFRAME]. Here is a quick comp analysis.' Offer one specific service for free (professional photos, pricing analysis, open house support). Respect their decision to go FSBO. Earn the meeting through expertise.

20. Investor Lead Follow-Up

Prompt
Write an investor-focused follow-up email (under 100 words) for [INVESTOR NAME] interested in [INVESTMENT TYPE — rental, flip, BRRRR, multifamily] in [MARKET]. Skip the emotional language. Lead with numbers: [1-2 DEALS WITH CAP RATES OR CASH-ON-CASH RETURNS]. Reference a specific off-market or coming-soon opportunity if you have one. Investors respond to deal flow, not relationship pitches. End with: 'Want me to send you the full analysis on any of these?'

Social Media Content Prompts

Social media for real estate is not about going viral. It is about staying top of mind in your sphere. The agents who win on social are the ones who post consistently, not the ones who post brilliantly once a month. These prompts give you a week of content in 15 minutes.

The OODA Loop applies here: Observe what is happening in your market, Orient around what your audience cares about, Decide on the content angle, Act by posting. Do not overthink it.

21. Market Update Post

Prompt
Write an Instagram/Facebook post (under 150 words) with a market update for [CITY/NEIGHBORHOOD]. Data: median price $[PRICE] ([UP/DOWN] [PERCENTAGE]% YoY), [NUMBER] active listings ([UP/DOWN] [PERCENTAGE]% from last month), average days on market: [DOM]. Translate the numbers into what it means for buyers and sellers in plain English. End with a question to drive comments: 'Are you seeing this in your neighborhood?' Include 5 relevant hashtags.

22. Just Sold Celebration

Prompt
Write a just-sold social media post (under 100 words) for [ADDRESS]. Sale price: $[PRICE]. The story: [BRIEF STORY — first-time buyers, relocated family, investor flip, downsizers]. What made this deal work: [KEY FACTOR — negotiation, off-market, timing, creative financing]. Celebrate the client without revealing private details. Do not say 'another one closed!' — tell the story instead. Include a subtle CTA: 'Thinking about your next move? Let's talk.'

23. Educational Carousel Script

Prompt
Write a 7-slide Instagram carousel script about [TOPIC — e.g., 'What to Expect at Closing,' 'Hidden Costs of Buying,' '5 Things That Kill Deals']. Slide 1: Hook — a bold statement or question that stops the scroll. Slides 2-6: One point per slide, 15-25 words each. Use numbers and specifics, not generalizations. Slide 7: CTA — 'Save this for later' + 'DM me [KEYWORD] for more info.' Format: Slide number, headline, body text.

24. Local Business Feature

Prompt
Write a social media post (under 120 words) featuring [BUSINESS NAME], a local business in [NEIGHBORHOOD]. What they are known for: [SPECIALTY]. Why you recommend them: [PERSONAL EXPERIENCE OR CLIENT FEEDBACK]. Tag them: @[HANDLE]. This is community marketing — you are not selling real estate, you are proving you know the neighborhood. End with: 'What is your favorite [BUSINESS TYPE — coffee shop, restaurant, gym] in [AREA]?'

25. Behind-the-Scenes Post

Prompt
Write a behind-the-scenes social media post (under 100 words) about [ACTIVITY — prepping for a listing appointment, reviewing comps at 6 AM, staging day, inspection walkthrough]. Be specific about what you are doing and why it matters for the client. This is a trust-building post, not a brag post. Show the work that clients never see. Tone: honest, slightly self-deprecating, relatable. End with a question: 'What does your morning routine look like?'

26. Neighborhood Guide Post

Prompt
Write a neighborhood guide post (under 150 words) for [NEIGHBORHOOD]. Cover: top 3 restaurants, best park or outdoor space, school ratings, median home price, and one insider tip that only a local would know. Format as a mini-guide with bullet points. This positions you as the local expert. End with: 'Thinking about [NEIGHBORHOOD]? I can send you what is on the market right now.'

27. Myth-Busting Post

Prompt
Write a myth-busting social media post (under 120 words) about [MYTH — e.g., 'You need 20% down,' 'Spring is the only time to sell,' 'Zillow Zestimates are accurate']. State the myth. Bust it with one specific fact or data point: [DATA POINT]. Explain why the myth persists. Give the real answer. Tone: confident but not condescending. You are educating, not lecturing. End with: 'What real estate myth drives you crazy?'

28. Video Script (60-Second Reel)

Prompt
Write a 60-second video script about [TOPIC — e.g., '3 Things to Do Before You List,' 'The Biggest Mistake Buyers Make,' 'Why Your Home Is Not Selling']. Format: Hook (first 3 seconds, pattern interrupt), Problem (10 seconds), 3 Points (30 seconds, 10 seconds each), CTA (5 seconds). Write it conversational — the way you talk, not the way you write. Include stage directions: [LOOK AT CAMERA], [SHOW PROPERTY/SCREEN], [WALK AND TALK].

29. Testimonial Spotlight

Prompt
Write a testimonial spotlight post (under 100 words) based on this client feedback: '[CLIENT TESTIMONIAL TEXT].' Client name: [NAME] (or anonymous). Do not just post the quote. Set it up: what was the client's situation, what was the challenge, what was the outcome. Then the quote. Then a one-line CTA. Format it so the quote stands out visually (use quotation marks or line breaks).

30. Weekly Content Calendar

Prompt
Create a 5-day social media content calendar for a real estate agent in [MARKET]. My niche: [NICHE — luxury, first-time buyers, investors, relocation]. For each day, provide: platform (Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, or TikTok), content type (post, carousel, reel, story), topic, a 2-sentence content brief, and best posting time. Monday: educational. Tuesday: listing or market data. Wednesday: personal/behind-the-scenes. Thursday: community/local. Friday: engagement/question. Keep it realistic for a solo agent — nothing that takes more than 15 minutes to create.

Client Communication Prompts

Clear communication is the difference between a 5-star review and a 1-star complaint. These prompts handle the emails and messages that eat your time: status updates, tough conversations, and the explanations you have given 200 times but still need to sound fresh.

Context Cards shine here. When ChatGPT knows your communication style, your brokerage policies, and your transaction timeline, these prompts produce emails you can send with zero edits. That is the goal: zero edits.

31. Buyer Consultation Prep

Prompt
Write a pre-consultation email (under 120 words) for [BUYER NAME] meeting with me on [DATE]. Cover: what to bring (pre-approval letter, wish list, timeline), what we will cover (search strategy, market overview, the buying process), and how long it will take ([DURATION]). Set expectations without overwhelming them. If they are first-time buyers, add one reassuring line: 'There are no dumb questions. That is literally what I am here for.'

32. Listing Presentation Follow-Up

Prompt
Write a follow-up email (under 100 words) after a listing presentation for [SELLER NAME] at [ADDRESS]. Reference one specific thing you discussed: [SPECIFIC DISCUSSION POINT — pricing strategy, staging plan, marketing timeline]. Restate your recommended list price: $[PRICE].

End with a clear next step: 'If you are ready to move forward, I can have the listing agreement over by [DAY].'

33. Inspection Results Explanation

Prompt
Write an email (under 150 words) explaining inspection results to [BUYER/SELLER NAME]. Major findings: [FINDING 1 — estimated repair cost: $X], [FINDING 2 — estimated repair cost: $X], [FINDING 3 — estimated repair cost: $X]. Classify each as: critical (safety/structural), moderate (functional), or cosmetic. Recommend next steps: which items to negotiate, which to accept, which need specialist inspections. Tone: calm, factual, not alarmist. Help them understand what is normal in a [AGE]-year-old home versus what is genuinely concerning.

34. Offer Explanation to Seller

Prompt
Write an email (under 120 words) presenting an offer to [SELLER NAME]. Offer details: $[OFFER PRICE] with [CONTINGENCIES], [CLOSING TIMELINE], [EARNEST MONEY]. Compare to asking price: $[LIST PRICE] (difference: $[AMOUNT] / [PERCENTAGE]%). Buyer's strengths: [STRENGTHS — pre-approved, cash, flexible closing, waived contingencies]. Buyer's weaknesses: [WEAKNESSES — FHA loan, extended closing, inspection contingency]. Give your honest recommendation without making the decision for them. End with: 'I will call you at [TIME] to walk through this together.'

35. Closing Timeline Update

Prompt
Write a closing timeline update email (under 100 words) for [CLIENT NAME]. Current status: [STATUS — appraisal ordered, title search complete, clear to close]. Next milestone: [NEXT STEP] by [DATE]. Anything needed from them: [ACTION ITEMS — insurance binder, wire transfer setup, final walkthrough scheduling]. Days until closing: [NUMBER].

36. Difficult Conversation (Low Appraisal)

Prompt
Write an email (under 120 words) to [CLIENT — buyer or seller] explaining that the appraisal came in at $[APPRAISED VALUE], which is $[SHORTFALL] below the contract price of $[CONTRACT PRICE]. Explain the three options: (1) seller reduces price to appraised value, (2) buyer covers the gap in cash, (3) meet somewhere in the middle. Be direct. Do not sugarcoat, but do not catastrophize. Frame it as a negotiation, not a disaster. End with: 'Let's talk through your options — I have a recommendation.'

37. Rate Change Buyer Update

Prompt
Write an email (under 100 words) to [BUYER NAME] about how the latest rate change affects their search. Old rate: [OLD RATE]%. New rate: [NEW RATE]%. Impact on their monthly payment at $[TARGET PRICE]: was $[OLD PAYMENT], now $[NEW PAYMENT] (difference: $[MONTHLY DIFFERENCE]). If rates dropped: frame as opportunity. If rates rose: reframe around adjusted price range or buying power and when refinancing makes sense. Skip the economics lecture. Give them the math that matters to their specific search.

38. Neighborhood Concern Response

Prompt
Write a response email (under 100 words) to [BUYER NAME] who asked about [CONCERN — crime stats, school ratings, noise levels, HOA issues, flood zone, development plans] in [NEIGHBORHOOD]. Provide factual data: [RELEVANT DATA POINTS]. Be honest about both positives and negatives. Suggest how to get more information: [RESOURCES — city planning website, school district office, HOA meeting minutes]. Do not sell them on the neighborhood. Give them the information to make their own decision. Trust builds transactions.

39. Contract Extension Request

Prompt
Write an email (under 100 words) requesting a [NUMBER]-day extension on [CONTINGENCY — inspection, financing, appraisal, closing] for [PROPERTY ADDRESS]. Reason: [REASON — lender processing delay, inspector scheduling, title issue]. Tone: professional, factual, cooperative. Do not over-explain or apologize excessively.

40. Post-Closing Thank You

Prompt
Write a post-closing thank-you email (under 80 words) to [CLIENT NAME] who just [BOUGHT/SOLD] [ADDRESS]. Reference one personal detail from your relationship: [PERSONAL DETAIL — their dog's name, the school their kids will attend, the renovation they are planning]. Keep it genuine, not corporate. Do not ask for a review in this email — that comes in 2 weeks. Right now, just celebrate with them. End with: 'Enjoy your [NEW HOME / NEXT CHAPTER]. I am always a text away.'

Business Building Prompts

These are the prompts that compound. A listing description helps you today. A business system helps you this year. From farming campaigns to SOI nurture sequences to market reports, these prompts build the infrastructure that turns a job into a business.

This is where the 5 Essentials framework matters most. You are not prompting for content. You are prompting for strategy. The AI becomes your thinking partner for business decisions that most agents make on gut instinct.

41. Farm Area Market Report

Prompt
Create a 1-page market report for [FARM AREA/NEIGHBORHOOD] that I can email or print as a mailer. Include: median sale price (current: $[PRICE], YoY change: [PERCENTAGE]%), average days on market: [DOM], active inventory: [NUMBER] homes, months of supply: [MONTHS]. Add a 2-sentence analysis of what the numbers mean for homeowners in this area. Format: headline stat at the top, supporting data below, my contact info at the bottom. Keep the language accessible — this goes to homeowners, not agents.

42. SOI Email Newsletter

Prompt
Write a monthly newsletter email (under 250 words) for my sphere of influence in [MARKET]. This month's content: (1) One market stat with analysis: [STAT]. (2) One local recommendation: [LOCAL BUSINESS/EVENT/TIP].

Open with a personal note about [SOMETHING REAL — what you did this weekend, a client win, something seasonal]. End with a soft CTA, not a hard sell.

43. Annual Business Plan Outline

Prompt
Help me build a 2026 business plan. My numbers: [LAST YEAR CLOSED TRANSACTIONS], [LAST YEAR GCI], average sale price: $[AVG PRICE]. My goal for 2026: [TRANSACTION GOAL] transactions, $[GCI GOAL] GCI. Calculate: (1) How many leads per month I need at a [CONVERSION RATE]% conversion rate. (2) How many contacts per week to generate those leads. (3) Monthly marketing budget if I allocate [PERCENTAGE]% of target GCI. Break it into quarterly milestones. Show me the math. Let's think step by step.

44. CMA Narrative Summary

Prompt
Write a CMA narrative summary (under 200 words) for [PROPERTY ADDRESS]. Subject property: [BEDS] bed, [BATHS] bath, [SQFT] sq ft, built [YEAR]. Comparable sales: Comp 1: [ADDRESS, PRICE, SQFT, SOLD DATE]. Comp 2: [ADDRESS, PRICE, SQFT, SOLD DATE]. Comp 3: [ADDRESS, PRICE, SQFT, SOLD DATE]. Recommended price range: $[LOW] - $[HIGH]. Explain the adjustments in plain English — not appraiser jargon. This is for the seller, not the underwriter. End with your pricing recommendation and why.

45. Objection Handling Scripts

Prompt
Write response scripts for these 5 common seller objections: (1) 'Your commission is too high.' (2) 'I want to try FSBO first.' (3) 'My neighbor sold their house for $X, so mine is worth more.' (4) 'I am not in a rush to sell.' (5) 'I want to wait until spring.' For each: acknowledge the concern (never dismiss it), provide one data point or logical reframe, and redirect to the next step. Under 50 words each. Conversational, not scripted.

46. Listing Marketing Plan

Prompt
Create a 14-day marketing plan for [ADDRESS] listed at $[PRICE] in [MARKET]. Include: pre-launch (professional photos, coming soon posts, agent network preview), launch week (MLS, Zillow syndication, social media blitz, email blast to buyers), week 2 (open house, retargeting, price evaluation checkpoint). For each day, give me: action item, platform/channel, and estimated time investment. Total weekly time should not exceed [HOURS] hours. I am a solo agent, not a marketing department.

47. Client Review Request Sequence

Prompt
Write a 3-touch review request sequence for [CLIENT NAME] who closed [TIMEFRAME] ago. Touch 1 (email, 2 weeks post-close): Check in on how they are settling in. Mention the review casually at the end, with direct links to [PLATFORMS — Google, Zillow, Realtor.com]. Touch 2 (text, 3 weeks post-close): Short, personal, easy. 'If you have 2 minutes, a Google review would mean the world.' Touch 3 (email, 5 weeks post-close): Only if they have not reviewed. Final gentle ask with a specific prompt they can use: 'You could mention [SPECIFIC THING] — that helps future clients know what to expect.'

48. Buyer's Guide Outline

Prompt
Create an outline for a first-time buyer's guide specific to [MARKET]. Sections: (1) How much home can you afford — include local price ranges, not national averages. (2) The buying process in [STATE] — state-specific steps, timelines, and costs. (3) Costs beyond the purchase price — closing costs ([TYPICAL PERCENTAGE]% in [STATE]), insurance, taxes, HOA. (4) Common mistakes — real ones, not generic filler. (5) Your first 30 days after closing. Each section: 3-4 bullet points with specific local data where possible.

49. Partnership Pitch Email

Prompt
Write an email (under 120 words) pitching a partnership to [BUSINESS TYPE — mortgage lender, home inspector, contractor, financial planner, moving company]. Propose: co-hosted [EVENT TYPE — webinar, workshop, client appreciation event] or cross-referral arrangement. What you bring: [YOUR DATABASE SIZE] client database, social media presence ([FOLLOWER COUNT] followers), [NUMBER] transactions per year. What you need from them: [WHAT YOU WANT — co-marketing, client referrals, expertise for content]. Keep it professional but not corporate. This is one small business owner talking to another.

50. End-of-Year Client Touchpoint

Prompt
Write an end-of-year email (under 150 words) to my full client database. Include: (1) A genuine thank-you for their business and referrals in [YEAR]. (2) One headline market stat for [MARKET] from this year. (3) One prediction or trend for the coming year. (4) A personal note about what I learned or how I grew this year: [PERSONAL NOTE]. Do not attach a market report. Do not make it a sales pitch. This is the one email all year where you are just a human being saying thank you. Make it memorable.

Making These Prompts 10x Better: The Context Card

Every prompt above works out of the box. But they work 10x better with a Context Card.

A Context Card is a pre-written block of text you paste before any prompt. It tells ChatGPT who you are, what you do, how you write, and who your clients are. Paste it once at the start of a conversation, and every prompt after it is automatically personalized.

Here is the structure, following the HOME Framework:

Hero: "You are a real estate marketing assistant for [YOUR NAME], a [YOUR SPECIALTY] agent in [YOUR MARKET] with [YEARS] years of experience. My typical client is [CLIENT PROFILE]. My brand voice is [2-3 ADJECTIVES — e.g., direct, warm, data-driven]."

Outcome: "Your goal is to produce ready-to-use content that matches my voice and requires minimal editing."

Materials: "My average sale price is $[X]. My farm area is [AREA]. My designations: [DESIGNATIONS]. Here is a sample of my writing: [PASTE YOUR BEST EMAIL OR LISTING DESCRIPTION]."

Execution: "Keep paragraphs under 3 sentences. Use specific numbers over vague adjectives. Never use the words: nestled, boasts, stunning, dream home."

Load this before any prompt in this guide. The AI stops guessing and starts writing like you. That is the difference between AI-assisted and AI-generated. One sounds like a robot. The other sounds like you, but faster.

The Prompt Engineering Guide from DAIR.AI calls this "system prompting" — setting the foundation before the task. IndyDevDan's Context-Prompt-Model framework takes it further: your context is the first-class citizen, not the prompt itself. The prompt is the instruction. The context is the intelligence.

Build your Context Card once. Use it forever. Update it quarterly. That 10-minute investment saves hours every week.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use these prompts with Claude or Gemini instead of ChatGPT?
Yes. Every prompt here works in Claude, Gemini, and ChatGPT. The bracket-replacement format is universal. Claude tends to follow formatting instructions more precisely. Gemini is strong at pulling in current web data if you enable search. ChatGPT has the largest ecosystem of plugins and integrations. Pick whichever model you prefer — the prompt structure is the same.
How do I make these prompts sound like me, not like AI?
Load a Context Card before any prompt. Paste a sample of your actual writing — your best email, listing description, or social post — and tell the AI to match that voice. The more examples of your writing you provide, the more the output sounds like you. Without a Context Card, the AI defaults to generic corporate tone.
Do I need ChatGPT Plus for these prompts?
No. Every prompt works on the free version of ChatGPT. The Plus subscription gives you faster responses, access to GPT-4o, and longer conversations before hitting limits. If you use AI daily for business, the $20/month is worth it for speed alone. But if you are testing the waters, start free.
How often should I update my prompts?
Update your Context Card quarterly with fresh stats, new client profiles, and updated market data. The individual prompts here are evergreen — the bracket structure does not expire. What changes is your market context. A prompt referencing a 6% mortgage rate needs updating when rates move. The Context Card handles this automatically: update it once, and every prompt gets the new data.
What is the biggest prompting mistake real estate agents make?
Being too vague. 'Write me a listing description' is a bad prompt. It gives the AI nothing to work with — no property details, no target buyer, no tone preference, no word count. The result is generic because the input was generic. Specificity is the single biggest lever. The prompts in this guide show exactly how specific you need to be for each task.
