Tool
Listing language scanner
Paste listing text and flag phrases that often sound stronger than the tract may be. This is useful when a listing feels convincing before the parcel details are clear.
Run the scanner first, then take the flagged phrases back to the tract and ask whether the parcel itself proves them. The tool is most useful when the marketing language is doing more work than the map.
Paste a listing and run the scan.
Run the homesite pressure test when the listing is making the tract sound like a clean build site.
