Realty AI Desk is written by one person. Not a team, not an agency, and not a vendor.
I am not a licensed real estate agent, and I want that on the record before you read anything else here. What this site does is narrower than a review site and, I think, more useful: I read the primary sources that almost nobody in this corner of the internet reads, and I write down what they actually say.
What that means in practice
When an article here says virtual staging costs a particular amount, that figure was read off the provider’s own pricing page on the date shown, not estimated and not copied from another blog. The price comparison covering nine providers is re-checked every month, and the date at the top moves only when the check actually happens.
When an article cites what agents think about staging, the numbers come from the National Association of REALTORS® research, linked so you can check the wording yourself. Fraud figures come from the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center. Copyright questions come from the US Copyright Office’s own reports. Disclosure rules come from the statutes, quoted rather than paraphrased.
That is the whole method, and it is less glamorous than a testing lab. It is also where most of the value is, because the gap between what a trade body’s research actually found and what gets repeated about it is usually enormous.
What this site does not do
Being clear about this matters more than sounding impressive.
- These are not hands-on reviews. I do not currently buy each tool, run it on live listings and report what happened. If an article ever does include a hands-on test, it will say so plainly and show the evidence.
- There are no screenshots of software I have not used. The images on this site are original graphics made here, not vendor marketing material and not fabricated product shots.
- There are no affiliate links. Not one, anywhere on the site, today. If that ever changes it will be disclosed on the page where it applies, before you read the recommendation rather than after.
- No vendor relationships. Nobody supplies accounts, sees a draft before publication, or approves what is written about them.
How AI is used here
This is a site about AI tools, so being cagey about it would be absurd.
Articles are drafted with AI assistance. The research, the source-checking and the editing are the work, and they happen before and after the drafting. Every statistic, price, quote and legal citation is verified against the named source before an article goes live, and every article carries its sources at the bottom so you can do the same.
What does not happen: no invented statistics, no fabricated studies or experts, no quotes attributed to people who did not say them, no prices pulled from thin air, and no article about a product describing an experience nobody had.
How the site makes money
Display advertising, and nothing else at present. No affiliate commissions, no sponsored posts, no paid placements. If any of that changes, it will be stated here and on the affected pages.
About the byline
I publish as J.P. and keep my full name off the site, because I would rather keep this project separate from my working life. Everything else is real: the sources, the figures, the dates, and the opinions. If you need to reach a human, the contact page goes straight to me.
If something here is wrong, tell me and it gets fixed with the correction noted. The editorial policy sets out how that works.
