AGENT AI LAB WITH JIM ABNER
10 Things Real Estate Agents Should Stop Doing and Let AI Do
Prompts to copy and adapt. Replace bracketed inputs and remove private details.

01. Build a showing brief
Using only [listing sheet], [price history] and [buyer priorities], write a 60-second showing brief. Give me three features to see in person, two questions for the listing agent and anything that conflicts across the sources. Label each fact with its source and date. Do not infer why the seller is moving.
Your check: Check the price and status before you leave. A photo of a backyard is not proof of water access.

02. Build a shortlist of comparable sales
Compare [subject] with [candidate sales]. Start in the subdivision. Stay east of Olio Road; exclude waterfront lots. Match style, above-grade area, basement and garage. Rank the three strongest closed sales, explain two exclusions, and flag anything you cannot verify. Keep active and pending listings separate. Do not invent concessions or adjustments.
Your check: Replace the example boundaries with yours. Verify sales and concessions in the MLS; you make the pricing call.

03. Draft a week of social posts
A buyer asked [anonymized question]. Using [my answer and verified facts], draft a short Facebook post, a 30-second video script and a three-slide carousel. Give each a different opening. Sound like a local agent talking to one person. Use no market statistics I did not supply.
Your check: Read each opening aloud. Cut the one that sounds like an ad. Review and schedule only what you would say yourself.

04. Write the second-showing follow-up
These are my notes from a second showing: [notes]. Draft a text under 60 words. Mention one detail the buyers liked and one question I promised to check. Ask one easy next-step question. Do not imply there are other offers or that I know what the seller will accept. Draft only; do not send.
Your check: Confirm the detail, recipient and contact preference. Add the turn of phrase that makes it sound like you.

05. Turn one fact sheet into listing copy
Using only [seller-approved feature sheet] and [verified listing facts], draft a listing description under [character limit], a flyer headline and three talking points for an open house. Describe the home, not who should live there. List any missing detail separately; do not fill it in.
Your check: Check every claim against the source. “Roof replaced in 2023” and “new roof” are not the same statement.

06. Turn a conversation into action items
Here are my anonymized meeting notes: [notes]. Make three sections: decisions made, open questions and next actions. For each action, name the owner and due date only when the notes say so; otherwise write “unassigned” or “not set.” Draft a five-line recap for my review. Do not send or add anything to a calendar.
Your check: Check names, dates and promises. Use your own notes or a transcript you have permission to use.

07. Find the right transaction document
Using [filenames and folder paths] plus [example filing structure], identify likely matches for [document I need]. Show each exact path, explain the match and flag versions that could be drafts. Put uncertain matches in a review list. Do not rename, move or delete anything.
Your check: Open the candidate and verify address, date and signatures. A filename ending in FINAL is not proof of execution.

08. Build a transaction milestone checklist
From [authorized, redacted excerpts and amendments], extract each milestone, exact clause wording, triggering event and time unit. List missing dates, conflicts and unclear terms. Do not treat the signing date as the trigger unless the text says so. Do not calculate unresolved deadlines or create reminders.
Your check: Check the signed agreement and amendments yourself. Only enter reminders after you verify dates, counting rules and ownership.

09. Troubleshoot one software problem
I expected [result] in [tool and version]. Instead I saw [redacted error]. I already tried [steps]. Give me the least disruptive test first, what I should see and what either result means. Ask for one missing detail if needed. Do not suggest deleting data, exposing credentials or changing live settings as a first step.
Your check: Use a sample record. If a fix requires a live change, check current vendor instructions and your rollback plan first.

10. Learn one workflow, not a whole platform
Coach me through [one specific task] using [tool] and a fictional practice record. First ask what I already know. Give me one step at a time and wait for my result. If my screen differs, ask what I see instead of guessing. Finish by having me repeat the task and write a five-step checklist.
Your check: Run the checklist on a second practice record without help. Keep the steps that work and correct the ones that do not.
