Questions estate agents ask

Can AI write my listings?

It can draft them from your verified facts, but every fact must come from documents, not the AI. Wrong or missing information can break consumer protection law.

Is it safe to put vendor and applicant details into AI?

Use addresses and names only in your CRM. For AI drafts, use property facts and anonymised feedback.

Which AI tool is free?

The free plans of ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot and Claude handle listings, updates and letters. Your CRM may also have built-in AI features. Check its data terms.

Privacy tip: don't paste customers' full names, addresses or other personal details into AI tools unless you need to and you've checked the tool's privacy settings.
