Three tones.
Same property. Ninety seconds.

One listing description on three different portals under-performs everywhere. The agents who max conversion run three: factual MLS for search, emotional-luxury for premium portals, accessible for first-time-buyer channels. Generated from the same photos and facts in one Claude call.

the three tones

One property. Three listing copies.

Each tone has its own portal, its own length, its own structure. The protocol generates all three in a single prompt run — the agent picks per portal.

Factual MLS

MLS, cadastre, official feeds, broker-to-broker

What surfaces on the search-results page. Length-constrained, fact-dense, scannable.

Emotional luxury

Premium portals (high-end Idealista, Sotheby's, agency vanity sites)

What lands when the buyer is already inside the listing. Imagined-experience prose; no closer.

First-time-buyer

Mass-market portals, mobile sign-ins, IG link-in-bio funnels

Accessible language for buyers who don't speak agent-jargon. Explains the things experienced buyers don't notice they know.

the protocol

Five rules. One vision call.

The discipline of three-tone listing copy. Skip any one and the descriptions either feel templated, get downranked by portals, or invent details the buyer can't verify.

  1. 01

    Three tones, three portals — never one description repurposed.

    The same listing copy on a luxury portal and a mass-market portal will under-perform on both. The factual MLS description is for search; the emotional version is for the imagined experience inside the listing; the first-time-buyer version is for accessibility. Generating all three from one prompt is faster than rewriting one description for each context.

  2. 02

    Photos are the sensory anchor. Vision is non-negotiable.

    Without vision, the prompt produces listing copy from facts alone — which reads like every other agent's listing. The afternoon light through the kitchen, the way the garden frames the doorway, the texture of the original floors — these come from the photos. Use Claude Sonnet with vision; the cost difference vs Haiku is rounding error against the listing-conversion delta.

  3. 03

    SEO terms in the first 80 characters, factual tone only.

    Most portal search-results pages snippet the first 80-120 characters of the description. The factual MLS version must front-load the SEO terms — neighbourhood, bed count, price-per-sqm, key feature — within that window. The other tones don't need this; they're read after the buyer has clicked through.

  4. 04

    Forbidden words: 'stunning', 'spectacular', 'must-see'.

    These words are the agent-speak that buyers have learned to discount. They appear in 60-70% of generic listings and signal 'this description was written without thought'. The protocol's prompt actively forbids them — partly because they're meaningless, partly because their absence is what makes the descriptions feel written rather than templated.

  5. 05

    Disclosure: AI-generated descriptions need to be flagged in some markets.

    EU regulations are tightening on AI-generated content disclosure. Some MLS systems and portals (especially in Germany) require a small note when descriptions are LLM-drafted. The agent's name on the listing is theirs — but the disclosure is required. Check your local portal's TOS; the protocol doesn't bypass disclosure requirements.

anti-patterns

Three failures that downrank the listing.

Each one has been produced by a loose prompt. Each one signals 'generic agent who didn't look at the property' to buyers and to portal ranking algorithms.

the superlatives

Stunning 3-bed apartment in the heart of Cascais! This breathtaking property features spectacular sea views, an absolutely gorgeous kitchen, and an incredible garden. A must-see — won't last long!

Six superlatives in three sentences. Every one is meaningless to the buyer (they've learned to discount them). The description signals 'generic agent without time to look at the property'. Buyers scroll past in 0.6 seconds.

the tone-swap on identical structure

[Factual]: 'South-facing kitchen, sea-glimpse, 8min walk to train.' [Emotional]: 'A south-facing kitchen with a sea-glimpse, just 8 minutes' walk from the train.' [First-time-buyer]: 'You'll love this south-facing kitchen with sea-glimpse, only 8 minutes from the train!'

Same sentence, three coats of paint. Each tone needs its own structure — factual is bulleted, emotional is sensory-prose, first-time-buyer is conversational. Tone-swap on identical structure is what AI defaults to without prompt discipline.

the invented feature

[Photos show no fireplace; description says]: 'Cozy up by the elegant marble fireplace on winter evenings.'

Inventing what isn't in the photos. Buyers who book a viewing after reading this will arrive expecting a fireplace, not find one, and feel deceived. The disclosure standard in most jurisdictions makes this a regulatory risk too — keep the prompt vision-grounded.

the prompt that drafts all three

What to feed Claude.

One prompt run with vision-mode photos produces all three tones. Sonnet with vision required — Haiku without vision regresses to fact-listing without sensory texture.

copy_system_prompt.md
You are a senior real-estate agent's
listing-copy generator.

INPUT
You receive: 5-15 photos of the property
(uploaded directly, vision-mode), the
property facts (address, beds/baths,
sqm, price, year built, key features),
and the agent's preferred portal
destinations (which constrain length).

OUTPUT
THREE listing descriptions, same property,
different tones:

  TONE 1 — FACTUAL (for MLS / cadastre):
    180-220 words. Plain, declarative.
    Lists features in order of importance
    for the search. No adjectives that
    can't be objectively verified.

  TONE 2 — EMOTIONAL LUXURY (for high-end
                              portal listings):
    220-280 words. Sensory language.
    The buyer's imagined experience
    in the property — afternoon light,
    walking distance to a specific
    restaurant, the feel of the rooms.
    No sales-y closer.

  TONE 3 — FIRST-TIME-BUYER FRIENDLY
                              (for entry-level
                               portals, mobile-first):
    140-180 words. Warm, accessible.
    Explains features that experienced
    buyers take for granted (south-facing,
    HOA, pre-approval, walk score). Ends
    with a soft invitation to view.

RULES (non-negotiable)
1. Same facts in all three. No
   tone changes the truth.
2. Each tone has its own structure —
   not just a tone-swap on the same
   sentences.
3. Use the photos for sensory anchors
   (afternoon light visible, garden
   in bloom, kitchen islands). Don't
   describe what isn't visible.
4. SEO terms in factual version
   (price-per-sqm, neighbourhood,
   bed count) are placed in the
   first 80 characters — that's
   what most portals snippet.
5. No emoji, no exclamation marks,
   no superlatives the property
   doesn't earn.

ANTI-PATTERNS (never produce these)
- "Stunning"; "spectacular"; "breath-
   taking"; "must-see"; "won't last"
- Identical sentences across tones
- Inventing features not in photos
- Mentioning the price in the
  emotional version (kills the
  reverie)
- Speculation about the buyer
  ("Perfect for a young family")

A real-estate adaptation of the multi-tone content pattern from marketing — same content under-performs when published once instead of channel-tuned. Our slice: 3 listing copies (factual MLS / emotional luxury / first-time-buyer) generated from one Claude call with vision.
