Your prompt
Create a one-page "Get Your Home Ready to List" checklist I'll send a seller 7-14 days before we go live. From: [YOUR NAME], [YOUR BROKERAGE], [YOUR PHONE]. Home details: [HOME TYPE, AGE, OCCUPIED OR VACANT, KNOWN ISSUES, LISTING DATE] Sections: - Curb appeal - Decluttering, room by room - Small repairs worth doing vs. ones to leave (flag anything that needs an inspector or contractor) - DIY staging basics - Photo-day prep (what to clear, what to add) - Showing prep (lockbox, pets, and securing valuables, medications, firearms, and personal papers) - Documents to gather (HOA docs, warranties, permits, utility bills, disclosure info) Mark items that vary by state, HOA, or municipality so I can confirm them. Scannable checkboxes, plain language, no jargon.
AI output is a draft. Read every word before a client does.
When to use it
One to two weeks before a listing goes live, when the seller needs a clear to-do list.
Tip for a better answer
Add your walkthrough notes on this house ("dated light fixtures, packed garage") so it prioritizes the seller's actual problems instead of generic advice.
How to push the first draft further
- Reply “shorter” or “half the length”. First drafts run long.
- Ask for “three versions with different tones” and keep the best lines from each.
- Paste something you wrote that sounds like you and say “match this voice”.
