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. Plenty of sites in this corner of the internet imply credentials they do not have. What I do is narrower and, I think, more useful: I sign up for the AI tools being marketed to agents, run them on real listing data, and write down what actually happened, including the times a tool turned out to be worthless.
Why this site exists
Agents get pitched a new AI product almost every week. Most of the coverage is either a press release with a headline on top, or an affiliate roundup written by somebody who never opened the software. Meanwhile the questions agents actually ask are boring and specific: what does it cost after the trial, does it connect to my CRM, will my MLS let me publish what it produces, and is the output good enough to send to a client without rewriting it.
Those are the questions this site tries to answer.
How I test
- I pay for the tool myself or use its public free tier. No vendor gives me a special account, and no vendor sees a review before it is published.
- Competing tools get the same inputs: the same property, the same photos, the same brief, the same amount of time.
- Every screenshot is mine, taken during the test. If an image came from the vendor, it says so.
- Prices are checked on the date shown in the article, in US dollars, on the public pricing page.
- I write down what went wrong, not only what went right. A review where everything is excellent is a review nobody should trust.
How this site makes money
Display advertising, and affiliate links on some of the tools covered here. If you buy through one of those links I may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. It never changes a score, a ranking, or whether a tool gets recommended. The editorial policy spells out exactly where that line sits.
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 tests, the screenshots, the prices, and the opinions. If you need to reach a human, the contact page goes straight to me.
