What’s inside

Everything you need to start
using AI responsibly

The framework covers the decisions you’re already making — and the ones you’ll face next week. Designed to be read once and referenced often.

01
Core Principles
Five principles in priority order. When they conflict, you’ll know which one wins.
02
Acceptable Uses
Listings, market analysis, client comms, admin — with specific verification requirements for each.
03
Uses Requiring Caution
AVMs, client data, contract language, lead scoring — and the minimum safeguards before proceeding.
04
Prohibited Uses
A clear table of what not to do, with the specific legal and ethical reason behind each prohibition.
05
Fair Housing
How AI creates fair housing risk — and the minimum safeguards every agent must apply.
06
Data Handling
What should never go into an AI tool, and a six-point checklist for vetting any new platform.
07
Disclosure Language
One ready-to-use template for buyer and seller engagement letters — adapt and use immediately.
08
Oversight & Accountability
Human review standards by use case, error correction procedures, and recordkeeping guidance.

Why this matters now

The risks are real.
The guidance hasn’t kept up.

Fair housing enforcement is expanding
HUD has issued guidance applying the Fair Housing Act to algorithmic tools. Steering is illegal whether a human or an algorithm executes it — and enforcement activity is increasing.
You’re responsible for what AI generates
AI does not carry a real estate license. You do. Every listing description, market analysis, and client communication you send is yours — regardless of what produced it.
State rules are moving fast
California, Colorado, Illinois, and New York all have AI-specific legislation in progress. What’s acceptable today may require adjustment within months.
