You check AI listing copy for real estate agents against dated property sources before brokerage review and publication. Consider a synthetic listing alert: a 4-bedroom colonial, 2,400 square feet, on a cul-de-sac. Which buyers should you call? You scroll the CRM. You check your notes. You try to recall what each buyer said at showings three weeks ago. You rebuild context that should be at hand. Then you draft the listing description. You open the AI assistant. It does not know your market or your brokerage's listing format. It does not know that you never use "charming," because buyers read it as "small." So you teach the assistant your business again. This page focuses on listing-copy source checks and contract milestone tracking. For lead follow-up and matching, use [AI for real estate agents: Keep a file for each lead.](/articles/ai-for-real-estate-agents) Keep the property and contract records separate from the lead notes. ## What the assistant must know about your business Real estate is relationship management at volume. You handle dozens of clients, hundreds of properties, and several transactions at different stages. Each client, market, and brokerage adds its own details. The assistant needs these facts: - buyer search criteria, budgets, timelines, and deal-breakers; - property details and neighborhood facts; - local market data and price trends in your areas; - transaction checklists and timeline milestones; - your brokerage's contract language and disclosure requirements; - vendor contacts: inspectors, lenders, title companies, contractors; - your communication style and listing language. Today these facts sit across your CRM, phone notes, email, and memory. The assistant can reach none of them. ## How `context.md` holds your business context `context.md` is a Markdown file on your computer. You write your business context once: market knowledge, client management habits, transaction steps, and vendor network. Configure your AI assistant to read it at the start of each session in that folder. The file is plain text. It needs no CRM integration, and cloud sync is optional. The model runs on the provider's servers, though. When a hosted AI assistant reads the file or a client record, that text goes to its provider during the session. Here is an example structure. Names are placeholders: ```markdown ## Business context - Markets: three suburban towns north of the metro (primary); two cities to the south (secondary) - Focus: first-time buyers (60%), move-up buyers (30%), investors (10%) - Price band: entry to middle of the local market ## Client management - Text for quick updates, email for documents, calls for strategy - Showing feedback: collect within 2 hours; log in the CRM - Offers: verify pre-approval before the first showing; escalation clauses are common in this market - Timeline: 45 to 60 days from first showing to close ## Market facts (verifiable only) - TOWN-A: school assignment per district map; low inventory - TOWN-B: 20-minute commute to the main employment center - TOWN-C: newer construction, larger lots, longer commute - Flood zones: check FEMA flood maps for lots near the river - Highway noise: note lots that back onto the beltway ## Listing descriptions - Lead with location value and daily life, then features - Never use: charming (reads as small), cozy (reads as cramped), needs TLC (reads as major repairs) - Always state: assigned schools, commute times, recent upgrades - Format: 3 to 4 sentence narrative, feature bullets, neighborhood facts ## Transaction process - Contract to inspection: 7 to 10 days - Appraisal: 10 to 14 days - Final walkthrough: day before closing - Close: 30 to 45 days total - Standard contingencies: financing, appraisal, inspection, HOA document review ## Vendors - Inspectors: INSPECTOR-A (thorough, fast reports), INSPECTOR-B (good with first-time buyers) - Lenders: LENDER-A (fastest), LENDER-B (best rates), LENDER-C (works weekends) - Title: TITLE-A - Pre-listing repairs: HANDYMAN-A - Staging: STAGER-A (3-day turnaround) ``` Keep one file per listing and transaction, with dated source references. Buyer matching uses the separate lead workflow and minimum client data; a client ID does not make a personal record anonymous. ## Four jobs the folder supports ### Match a new listing to active buyers A new listing hits the MLS. You paste the details and ask which active buyers you should contact. The AI assistant checks the listing against each buyer file: - budget range and pre-approval amount; - location preferences and school assignment requirements; - must-have features: bedrooms, bathrooms, lot size, garage; - deal-breakers: HOAs, busy streets, split-bedroom layouts; - timeline limits: lease end dates, school-year start. It returns a short list. Buyer 1 fits: four bedrooms, the required school assignment, within budget, and a workable closing date. Buyer 2 is above budget: flag the mismatch for review. Skip Buyer 3, who needs a single-story house, and Buyer 4, who is already under contract. You check the matches before calling. [Separate client context before an agent touches the work](/articles/separate-client-context-before-agent-work) explains how to keep each buyer's file apart when you draft for one of them. ### Listing marketing copy You list a 3-bedroom ranch. You need an MLS description, social posts, an email to your database, and flyer copy. Your file stores what buyers in the area ask about and your brokerage's required disclosures and format. It also stores your style and each platform's rules, such as the MLS character limit. You give the AI assistant the square footage, lot size, recent updates, and nearby amenities. It drafts all four pieces in your voice, formatted for each platform. Your time goes to review instead of four first drafts. ### A synthetic listing paragraph and source check These property facts and the paragraph are invented. A synthetic MLS export dated 2026.09.28 lists three bedrooms, 1,800 square feet, and living and dining spaces on one level. A seller-provided invoice dated 2025.06.12 records a roof replacement. Neither source documents a school rating or a commute time. > This three-bedroom ranch has 1,800 square feet, with the living and dining spaces on one level. The seller's 2025 roof invoice is available for review. See the property record and photographs for the room layout and yard details. Pass: every factual statement traces to the dated MLS record or invoice. Fail: the draft adds an undocumented upgrade, school rating, or travel time. Ask it to add "ideal for young couples." The review must reject wording that signals a preferred resident and retain the property description. The [Indiana Civil Rights Commission's advertising guidance](https://www.in.gov/icrc/enforcement/housing/advertising-and-housing-discrimination/), checked 2026.10.02, explains the property-focused wording principle. Your brokerage reviewer checks current federal, state, local, and MLS requirements before publication. ### Transaction coordination You have three buyers under contract, two listings about to go under contract, and one closing next week. Each deal has its own timeline and open tasks. Keep one project file per active transaction and link it from `context.md`. Each file holds contract dates, contingency deadlines, and open items such as repairs, appraisal, and title issues. It also holds vendor appointments and a client communication log. Each morning, ask the AI assistant what is due this week across all transactions. It returns a ranked task list: - an inspection deadline tomorrow on one deal; - an appraisal due back today on another; - a final walkthrough to schedule before Friday's closing; - HOA documents still pending on a fourth. Check each date against the executed contract, because the contract controls. A synthetic executed contract dated 2026.09.28 states an inspection deadline of 2026.10.08 at 5 p.m. Eastern, closing on 2026.10.30, and a walkthrough on 2026.10.29. Copy those dates from the relevant paragraphs into `transactions/DEMO.md`, with document version and paragraph references. This example states dates; it does not calculate a legal deadline from a default timeline. In a fresh session, ask what is due on October 8. Pass: it quotes the executed inspection deadline and source paragraph. Fail: it substitutes the root file's generic 7-to-10-day range. Add a signed amendment moving the deadline to October 12 and retest. The amendment controls; the broker verifies receipt and effect before changing a client notice. ### Market analysis for a buyer Buyers ask whether a price is fair and whether to offer at asking or above. Your file records current conditions for each area. It covers dated days-on-market figures, sales comparisons, and seasonal trends. Pull recent comparable sales from the MLS for each analysis, because comps go stale fast. The AI assistant drafts a comparison from those sales. You review the figures and any proposed offer strategy before sending. ## Keep fair housing rules in the file The Fair Housing Act bars discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, disability, familial status, and national origin. It also bars advertising that indicates a preference on those grounds. Write neighborhood notes as verifiable facts: school assignment, commute time, lot size, flood zone, and highway noise. Do not describe who lives in an area or who an area "suits." Words such as "family-oriented" can signal a preference based on familial status. Add a rule to the listing section: describe the property, not the people. Review every listing draft against fair housing advertising rules before you publish. ## CRM and context folder side by side Your CRM, such as LionDesk, BoomTown, or another real estate CRM, stores contacts and tracks your pipeline. It does that job well. The context folder stores what the CRM does not capture well: - why a client rejected a property; - your firsthand knowledge of neighborhoods; - communication habits that work with each client type; - your transaction steps and vendor preferences. The file can point to CRM data with a line such as `client list: see the CRM`. The folder holds your expertise, the part you cannot pull from a database. ## Keep client data minimal Buyer files hold personal and financial details: budgets, pre-approval amounts, and household needs. Store only what matching needs, under a client ID. Keep contact details, loan documents, and identity documents in the CRM and your transaction system. [What client data belongs in AI agent memory](/articles/client-data-in-ai-agent-memory) gives a general test for these records. Check your brokerage's policy on AI tools before any client data enters a session. ## Test the folder before you rely on it 1. Start a new AI assistant session in the business folder. 2. Paste a sample listing and ask which buyers fit. 3. Check each match against the buyer files. 4. Ask for a listing description, and search it for "charming," "cozy," and any description of residents. 5. Ask for this week's contract deadlines, and compare them with the executed contracts. The test passes when every match follows the files, the copy follows your style and fair housing rules, and every deadline matches the contract. ## Approval and stopping boundary The assistant matches listings, drafts copy, lists deadlines, and drafts market emails. You approve every listing, every client message, and every price opinion. The assistant does not post to the MLS, send client email, or change the CRM. [Who approves what an AI agent sends](/articles/who-approves-what-an-ai-agent-sends) sets out the approval roles. When the folder conflicts with the MLS, a contract, or brokerage policy, that source controls, and you correct the folder.
