Home Seller Story Prompt

This prompt is a storytelling framework for real estate agents designed to transform a standard “Just Sold” update into a compelling, emotionally driven seller success story.

Anything inside [BRACKETS] is your cue

to personalize the prompt. The more

specific you are, the better your results.

Treat Every Output as a Draft

AI gives you a strong first draft, not a final product.

Always review for tone, accuracy, and compliance.

Add your voice, market experience, and brand

personality.

Instructions

Paste this prompt directly into ChatGPT (or your AI assistant).

Include the Inspection Report before submitting.

Act as a licensed real estate professional reviewing an inspection report.

Your goal is to create a concise, buyer-friendly summary that:

• Highlights the property’s overall condition.

• Categorizes findings into Major, Moderate, and Minor issues.

• Identifies which findings may be useful for negotiation leverage (e.g., credits, repairs, price adjustments).

• Ends with a short list of Next Steps for the buyer and agent.

Instructions:

1. Begin with a brief summary (2–3 sentences) describing the general condition of the home.

2. Use clear section headers for:

• Major Issues: Structural, safety, or costly repairs; explain why each matters.

• Moderate Concerns: Functional but aging systems, deferred maintenance, or mid-level repairs.

• Minor Items: Cosmetic issues or general upkeep.

3. Add a Negotiation Opportunities section that suggests how each major/moderate issue could be positioned (e.g., credit request, repair negotiation, price discussion).

4. Close with Next Steps — 2–3 bullets recommending how to proceed (e.g., obtain bids, prioritize safety items, consult contractor).

Tone: Professional, neutral, and easy to scan. Avoid speculation on costs or legal advice. Focus on clarity and negotiation usefulness.

Step 2 — Addendum Verbiage Prompt

Chain this directly after the analysis. It tells ChatGPT to turn the findings into ready-to-edit Form 35R draft language.

Based on the inspection summary above, generate draft Form 35R-style addendum language for the buyer’s agent to review.

• Only include items from the “Major Issues” and “Moderate Concerns” sections that clearly justify negotiation.

• Use concise, professional phrasing similar to:

• “Buyer requests that Seller [complete repair/provide credit/adjust purchase price] for [specific issue].”

• “Buyer requests that all work be performed in a professional manner by a licensed contractor where applicable.”

• Keep each line self-contained and editable.

• Avoid quoting costs, giving legal advice, or including deadlines.

• After the list, include a short “Next Steps” section with guidance such as obtaining estimates, confirming repair scope, or reviewing with the managing broker.

Tone: Professional and neutral; suitable for agent review and compliance with Washington Form 35R standards.

Optional Step 3 — Seller Response Mode

Once the buyer-side language is ready, you can flip perspectives and say:

Now act as the seller’s agent reviewing the buyer’s Form 35R requests. For each item, draft a brief, professional response option under these categories:

• Agree to Repair

• Offer Credit

• Decline Request (with rationale)

Keep responses factual and polite, suitable for inclusion in a Form 35R reply. Avoid legal or cost estimates.
