MLS Listing Description with Fair Housing Rules

Describes the home, never the buyer. The fair housing rules are built in, and anything risky in your notes gets flagged instead of used.

Pick the type it's listed as in the MLS.

Use the bedroom count from the MLS listing.

Use .5 for a half bath, e.g. 2.5.

Use the figure on the MLS listing. The description won't change or estimate it.

Leave blank if you don't know it.

Key features

One per line. Describe the home, not who it suits: "fenced backyard", not "great for kids".

Selling points to lead with

Pick 1 or 2. The opening sentence leads with these.

Nearby amenities and distances

One per line, with a distance: "0.4 mi to Riverside Park". Facts only, no "safe" or "desirable".

Optional. Drop the MLS input sheet or a feature sheet. It's read on your device.

Anything else worth mentioning. If something here could raise a fair housing issue, it's left out and listed under "Flagged".

Tone

Straightforward suits most listings. Upscale leans on materials and finishes. Warm reads more personal.

1000

Set to your MLS's public remarks limit. Spaces count.

Adds a second opening line to choose from.

Prompt preview

Write the MLS public remarks for this property. Property: Property type, Beds bed, Baths bath, Sq ft sq ft Year built: Year built Features: Key features Lead with: Selling points to lead with Location facts: Nearby amenities and distances Property sheet: Property sheet My notes: My notes Be plain and factual. Short sentences, and no adjectives that a listed feature doesn't back up. Stay under 1000 characters, including spaces. When in doubt, go shorter. Rules: - Describe the property and its features, never the people who might live there. No "perfect for families", "ideal for retirees", "great for young professionals", or anything else that implies who should buy. - No references to race, color, religion, sex, disability, familial status, or national origin, direct or indirect. - For location, state facts and distances ("0.4 miles to Riverside Park"), not judgments ("safe", "exclusive", "desirable area"). - Accessibility features are fine to list as features ("zero-step entry", "grab bars in primary bath"). Don't say who they're for. - Only use facts from the lines above and the property sheet. Don't invent upgrades, views, or square footage. If the sheet and a line above disagree, use the line above and note the mismatch under "Flagged". - If a line above is empty, skip it. Don't fill the gap. - No phone numbers, emails, websites, or showing instructions. - If anything in my notes or the property sheet could raise a fair housing issue, leave it out and list it under "Flagged" with a one-line reason. Reply with the description, then "Flagged:" followed by the flagged items, or "none". Then give me one alternate opening line.
