AI can save real estate agents quite a bit of time when writing content. Need an idea for a blog? You can get one in seconds. Want to prepare a few LinkedIn posts? AI can help with that, too. Even if you have some thoughts but don’t know how to put them into proper sentences, you can use it to get started.
Have you ever noticed that many real estate articles have a similar message? Everyone is writing about establishing trust, understanding the market, and prioritizing clients. There is nothing wrong with these ideas. The problem is that readers see them so often that they don’t really remember who wrote what.
Your articles must let the audience know who you are and what you do. AI can help you with the writing but does not have to do the thinking for you.
Many believe that each blog post must have a formal tone. However, in communication with your colleagues, you probably prefer to use concise, straightforward phrases.
To explain to your audience why former customers are important, you could write an essay on the significance of building solid relationships. Or you might simply tell them that communication is important not only when you need a referral.
This way is more efficient and comprehensible.
When receiving content from an AI tool, it is necessary to analyze it and alter any parts of it which you dislike. As a result, you will ensure no repeated contents in your post. This applies especially to real estate agent bloggers who want their stories to be unique.
You want to write a blog post outlining the process of selling a house. You fire up your AI tool, input the topic, and ask it to create an article. In seconds, you receive a post containing significant information regarding pricing, photography, repair work, and marketing.
This is understandable since those processes are important steps when it comes to selling a house, however, such content won’t make your article unique.
Try thinking about your previous experiences in the industry. For example, maybe you had clients who wanted to invest a lot in renovations but ended up putting the property on the market without them. Alternatively, some buyers keep asking questions about something that is only mentioned in the listing. You may also have experimented with a particular approach that didn’t yield the results you had hoped for.
These are the topics worth writing about. There is no need to tell an interesting story or disclose information that is not easily accessible. Simply detailing issues encountered during your work might make the article valuable.
Write down your own ideas first and then ask AI to arrange them logically.
There’s a problem with using AI: people often feed it very little information. They will type in a title, expecting it to write a deeply personalized article.
How can it provide this information if it is not aware of your previous experience? For example, if you asked AI to write about marketing real estate, it would give you some tips concerning social media, email marketing, real estate photography, and online listings.
Let’s say that now you tell it that in the real estate deals at which you were involved, many people visited the information about the property but requests for its viewing were scarce. Now you want to talk about what can be done in such cases.
In this context, you could require AI to assist in organizing your idea, providing headings, or helping you to clarify some concepts that are hard to explain.
Just make sure that the final product delivers your meaning, as AI can sometimes provide irrelevant information.
Do not make use of any confidential information from your clients to make the article more illustrative.
Writing goes way beyond just conceiving some ideas and putting them into writing. Sometimes minor tasks take up more time than expected.
You may have a rough article that needs some improvement in terms of headings. You may have expressed the same thought in three various ways without even realizing it. Or you may feel comfortable with your message but cannot determine the right sequence of the paragraphs.
That is when AI becomes useful.
You can ask it to find grammar mistakes, detect repeating phrases, and provide you with unclear parts. In case of lengthy texts, you can ask AI for more simple wording without changing the meaning.
You can also use AI to make a short LinkedIn post out of your recent blog post. You should not just copy-paste everything into the AI tool and publish the text without any modifications. It is important to go through the outcome of the tool and ensure it is suitable for the chosen medium and audience.
You don’t have to do everything manually; you just need to control the decisions that will help promote your business.
Your site isn’t the sole platform for sharing your insights, and producing content for other real estate outlets can connect you with professionals who otherwise would not find you.
For instance, real estate guest posting in real estate allows you to share ideas among a new group of people. You can write about various aspects of publishing property ads, answering buyers’ queries, or lessons you acquired from cooperating with sellers. AI can assist you in arranging your article but is not supposed to be used to craft its main content.
Imagine an agent who mainly handles residential properties in a particular area. The agent has spent years dealing with sellers, answering questions about asking prices, and helping people prepare their homes for sale.
Would it make sense for that person to publish one week about commercial leases, the next week about luxury property investment, and then an article about buying land overseas, simply because AI suggested those topics?
Not necessarily.
You don’t have to write about everything happening in real estate. Pick subjects you understand, and explain them in a way that other people can use. This is also what makes a real estate agents blog useful to its intended readers.
This is something that can easily be ignored as AI gives answers that seem correct even when it has got something wrong.
If you have mentioned property prices, tax, legality, local rules and regulations in your writing, be sure to verify it before publishing. Don’t base the details of your content on the AI given response.
This is true for statistics as well. If you do not know where the number is coming from, do not include it to make your content sound accurate.
Additionally, take care when it comes to your experience. Just because you have had a certain experience with one property does not mean that the same experience will happen with all properties in the market. Discuss what you have experienced, but do not present it like it is true for everybody.
Remember that people may use what you wrote, so make sure that what they find out under your name is not wrong.
Before AI tools became popular, writing monthly articles was quite hard to manage. Now it is easier to get the work done. This can be useful for agents who do not have enough time for content marketing projects.
But there is a catch. When producing content becomes easy, it is tempting to publish something even when you don’t have much to add.
You might be able to write five articles per day but if they are all about the same content, what is the point?
Look beyond the number of articles you produce and focus on the reaction of your audience. Has your post been shared by other agents? Have people commented on it? Has some helpful discussion started due to what you have written?
Such reactions can provide insights into what to write about in the future. You can find out that people like practical examples rather than general advice.
You don’t have to stop using AI for the sake of your brand. That means losing out on a system that will really help with writing.
You can use it to put your ideas on paper, improve wording, check grammar and get a rough draft when you have issues starting your paper. Just feed it the necessary information about your subject instead of thinking that it will guess what exactly you do in your business.
What is key is you read everything before publishing. Does the text correspond to your experience? Is it based on real examples? Would you feel comfortable discussing these same ideas with another realtor?
If something doesn’t sound right, change it.
At the end of the day, people have plenty of places to find general real estate advice. What you share should stems from your own expertise and approach to your work. AI can undoubtedly assist you in getting your knowledge out there but it will not create your professional persona for you.
