Combining the power of ChatGPT and ListSMRT means that you have the ability to generate property descriptions that encompass a range of different tones of voice, depending on the particular audience that you are targeting. Below are some examples of the kind of property advertisements that you might be looking to create, and what exactly you need to input in order for the platforms to swiftly compile a well-thought out listing description.
*Remember, when writing a prompt to ask ChatGPT to write something for you, it’s important to tell ChatGPT to write using AU English. Always read and edit the answers you are provided to make sure they are correct.
Property Advertisement Examples
ListSMRT
If you're looking to put together a listing description with a neutral tone of voice, this is the perfect opportunity to make use of the ListSMRT system. Simply enter the address, give ListSMRT some context, and make any last many edits you wish before adding this to the relevant property.
ChatGPT
However, if you have a much more specific audience you are trying to target, ChatGPT is your friend. Below are some example audiences that you may wish to target, and exactly what you can input into ChatGPT to achieve your desired tone of voice:
Targeting a particular audience i.e., Renovators audience
1. “Using AU English, write a 250-word property description for a house for sale to appeal to people wanting to renovate - 37 Carter Street Thorngate SA 5082. The property is in very poor condition so create a cheeky headline followed by 3 bullet points summarising the best features and include enthusiastic quotes from the homeowner, talking about their experience living there, what they loved about the neighbourhood and the opportunity for somebody who wants to renovate. Mention that the house has 4 bedrooms, two bathrooms, a double lock-up garage, character fireplaces, and is within walking distance of North Adelaide, shopping centres, transport and local parks.”
Targeting a particular audience i.e., Renovator’s delight – agent’s video script
2. “Using AU English, write a 300-word HUMOUROUS video script for a real estate agent selling a house - 37 Carter Street Thorngate SA 5082. The property badly needs renovation so create a HUMOUROUS headline then have the real estate agent talk through the best features and the options available to the new owner, such as it would be their choice whether to renovate or detonate. Talk about the owner’s experience living there, what they loved about the neighbourhood and why they have not renovated. Mention that the house has 4 bedrooms, two bathrooms, a double lock-up garage, character fireplaces, and is within walking distance of North Adelaide, shopping centres, transport and local parks.”
Targeting a particular audience i.e., create an advert for downsizers
3. “Forgetting all previous instructions and using AU English, write a 250-word advertisement for a townhouse that is ideally suited to downsizers looking for their next home. Create a compelling headline followed by 3 bullet points summarising the best features. Mention that the property has 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, has been fully renovated, gas kitchen with Miele appliances that opens onto a balcony with city views, double garaging with direct access, excellent security, private sunny court-garden, is across the road from a park, and that you can walk to the city in 10 minutes.”

2. "Craft a headline for a cottage in the country that focuses on its scenic surroundings."

Mention that he loves helping people achieve their dreams, understands the importance of communication, ethics, and balancing the needs of everybody involved in the transaction, as well as achieving outstanding prices. Create compelling reasons why a homeowner would want to sell with Will. Finish with a call to action offering a free home appraisal.”
- Simply ask ChatGPT to mention any other specific character attributes unique to the person
Write a Suburb Profile
ChatGPT
With this style of prompt, you enter your description first and wait for ChatGPT to acknowledge the instructions. Then, you insert the suburb name and postcode, which helps reduce the risk of ChatGPT drawing its description from a suburb with the same name but in the wrong location.
“You are a web content writer for a real estate agency. You have been tasked with creating suburb profiles for various neighbourhoods. Write a suburb profile for a specific neighbourhood, providing detailed information and insights about the area. Ensure the generated profile is informative, engaging, and valuable for potential homebuyers or renters.
When writing, act as a knowledgeable resident who has lived in the selected suburb for years and is excited to share their insights with potential newcomers. You should provide a warm and welcoming tone while highlighting the unique features and benefits of living in the suburb. Avoid technical jargon and focus on the lifestyle, community, amenities available, and the property market. Provide useful information such as schools, parks, transportation, and local events to give a comprehensive overview of what the suburb has to offer.
All content should be unique, written in the third person or omits pronouns, written in Australian English and grammatically correct. Instead of titling your closing comments with 'In conclusion' say instead 'Why we love' followed by the suburb name.
I will provide the postcode to help you find the right suburb but don't mention this in the copywriting.
Hold on writing the profiles. Acknowledge the prompt above, and the specific suburb will be provided.”
Wait for ChatGPT to respond and ask for your next instruction. Then, enter suburb and postcode:
“Redlands, 4157”
Analyse a Document Like Monthly CoreLogic Market Updates
ChatGPT
With this style of prompt, you instruct ChatGPT to extract the most relevant information from CoreLogic’s monthly national update, but specifically localised to your area
After installing the ChatGPT File Uploader Extended, an upload option appears to the right of the ‘Send a message’ entry field. Upload your PDF and then use the below prompt to extract information about Sydney (or anywhere else) from the document.
“Using Australian English and acting as a real estate agent providing professional insights to people interested in buying homes or investing in rental properties in Sydney, write a 250-word article that of the most insighful parts of this monthly market update for Sydney homebuyers or property investors.”
*Please note, this only applies paid ChatGPT accounts using Google Chrome browser with Chat GPT File Uploader Extended installed
Lead Generation Strategies
ChatGPT
ChatGPT can assist you with developing strategies for generating leads for potential buyers and sellers. It can provide suggestions for creating engaging content, social media marketing, and email campaigns. Or, you can just ask First National to connect you to FN Social Express and we’ll look after the lion’s share of content generation for you.
Customer Relationship Management
ChatGPT
ChatGPT can help you improve your customer relationship management skills by offering advice on how to communicate with clients effectively, manage customer complaints, and develop relationships with new clients. Or, you can always ask First National’s Chief Communications Officer for help with strategies and written responses to tricky situations. Email stewart.bunn@firstnational.com.au or call (03) 9418 9144.
Legal Issues
Real estate transactions can be complicated and must comply with your state or territory’s property, stock and business agents Acts, and residential tenancy Acts. At a fundamental level, ChatGPT can be asked to provide guidance on legal issues such as property rights, contracts, and disclosures when you refer it to your specific local Act.
It is, however, recommended to seek legal advice from a professional solicitor or lawyer rather than ChatGPT.
