Property Listing Skill

A great listing sells the feeling of living there while staying truthful — it leads with what makes the home

special, paints the lifestyle, and gives buyers the facts they need to want a showing. This skill writes that

description: appealing, scannable, and accurate, without the tired clichés or anything that crosses fair-housing

lines.

> Note: this is a marketing aid, not legal advice. Listings are regulated — Fair Housing laws

> prohibit language that indicates a preference or steers based on protected characteristics (race, religion,

> familial status, disability, etc.), and claims must be truthful. Describe the property, not the ideal

> buyer; have material claims and compliance reviewed per your jurisdiction/MLS rules.

Working from a brief

Given the basics (beds/baths, key features), write the listing anyway — infer appealing, plausible framing

from what's given, and mark any specific claim (confirm) (square footage, year, schools, HOA). Never invent

facts (size, upgrades, permits) and never use buyer-preference language. Describe the home.

Required Inputs

Ask for these only if they aren't already provided (else infer/flag to confirm):

• The property — type, beds/baths, size, lot, and standout features (renovations, views, layout, outdoor space).
• The selling points — what makes it special and the likely buyer's needs it meets (in property terms).
• Location — neighbourhood, walkability, and nearby amenities (state facts, avoid steering).
• Voice & channel — tone (warm, upscale, cosy) and where it runs (MLS, Zillow, social), with any length limits.

Output Format

Listing: [property]

• Headline — a short, evocative hook (the single most compelling thing about the home).
• Description — 1–3 flowing paragraphs: open with the wow factor, walk the buyer through the home's best features and flow, evoke the lifestyle (entertaining, morning light, the yard), and close with location/convenience. Specific and sensory, not a feature dump.
• Highlights — a scannable bullet list of the key features and facts (beds/baths, size, upgrades, parking, year — mark any (confirm)).
• Neighbourhood — factual nearby amenities and conveniences (avoid statements that steer by demographic).
• Call to action — invite a showing / contact, with a placeholder for agent details.

Keep it truthful; mark figures to confirm.

Quality Checks

• [ ] Leads with the most compelling feature, then sells the lifestyle — not a dry spec list
• [ ] Specific and sensory, free of empty clichés ("must see!", "won't last!")
• [ ] Every factual claim (size, year, upgrades) is accurate or flagged to confirm — nothing invented
• [ ] Describes the property, not the "ideal" buyer — no fair-housing / steering language
• [ ] Scannable: a hook, a flowing description, and a highlights list
• [ ] Fits the channel's tone and length; ends with a clear call to action

Anti-Patterns

• [ ] Do not use buyer-preference or steering language ("perfect for a young family", "great for…") — describe the home
• [ ] Do not invent or inflate facts (square footage, upgrades, permits, schools) — flag to confirm
• [ ] Do not pile on clichés and exclamation marks — specifics sell, hype doesn't
• [ ] Do not bury the best feature — lead with it
• [ ] Do not present this as legal/compliance certification — flag for MLS/fair-housing review
