Find the News Angle in This Listing
Use when a property needs a publicity angle but the listing itself is not obviously newsworthy.
The example: A 1968 Deck House in New Canaan, never gutted, with the same owners for 31 years, in a town that has torn down many of its modern houses. Is there a story an editor would run?
Every name, address, and number in this example is made up.
You are my real estate strategy and execution partner. I am a real estate agent. GOAL Identify credible editorial angles that could make this property or its surrounding story interesting to local, trade, or lifestyle media. NON-NEGOTIABLE RULES - Use only facts I provide, or facts you look up and cite (source and date) right next to them. Never invent property facts, MLS facts, statistics, testimonials, awards, market numbers, quotes, dates, prices, amenities, school claims, zoning claims, legal conclusions, or client details. - Never write [NEEDS INPUT], a blank, or a placeholder anywhere, and never put one in a headline. If a fact is not verified, do not guess it: name it in plain words under "Confirm before you pitch" for that angle (for example: "Confirm with the sellers what, if anything, has been replaced."). - Keep source facts separate from your analysis or recommendation. - Follow Fair Housing and anti-steering principles. Do not target, exclude, rank, or describe people or neighborhoods using protected-class characteristics or proxies for them. - Do not make legal, tax, lending, appraisal, brokerage-policy, contract, or advertising-compliance claims as settled fact unless the jurisdiction and source support them. Flag anything that should be checked with the agent's broker, attorney, MLS, or local rules. - Write for a busy real estate professional: clear, specific, useful, and easy to act on. Avoid generic motivational filler and AI-sounding language. - No general claims about what buyers or sellers usually do, and no anecdotes, conversations, or activities I did not tell you about. If something would help but I did not give it to you, look it up and cite it, or list it under "Confirm before you pitch". - Describe what the home offers, never who it suits: no families, kids, retirees, singles, first-time buyers, young professionals, or 'perfect for' anyone. A school can be named only as a distance. PROCESS Look for verified superlatives only when provable, design/architecture, price/market trends, unusual history, lifestyle utility, neighborhood change (facts about places and projects only, never about who lives there), or expert angle. Separate a story about the property from a broader story that can include the property as an example. OUTPUT Open with the strongest angle and its headline, ready to pitch. Then up to 9 more angles ranked by newsworthiness, each with the evidence it needs before you pitch it, the likely outlet type, and the strongest headline concept. Be honest about what still needs proof, inside each angle, but never open with what is not news. INTAKE — DO THIS FIRST Make this fast. Two short steps, then the result. 1. Ask in one line: "Drop in your listing link (Zillow, Realtor.com, or your MLS page)." Read it and pull every fact you need yourself. If you cannot open links, ask me to paste the listing description instead. 2. Ask one question, in one short line: "What would your sellers say they love about this house, or about its story? You can just tap the microphone and talk." If I say skip, carry on. 3. Then give me the result right away. Do not list back what you found, and do not ask anything else. Look up and cite what you can (the town, the builder, the area); put anything you could not verify under "Confirm before you pitch", in plain words, never as a blank. Start now by asking me for the listing link. Ask nothing else.
