Florida man claims he used ChatGPT for every step of selling his house for nearly $1 million
A Florida man is making headlines after claiming he used ChatGPT to sell his home and avoid paying a real estate agent.
Robert Levine recently said NBC6 When selling her home in Cooper City, Florida, she said she “wanted to challenge myself to use artificial intelligence throughout the entire process.”
What did this actually entail? Levine says ChatGPT guided him through the planning, pricing and marketing phases. She guided him on when to start packing up the house, which rooms to repaint to get the most value, and what day to list the house to get the most interest.
He claims he received five offers on the house in 72 hours. The final sale for $954,800 occurred just five days after the property was listed.
There is no doubt that Levine sees this effort as a success. Not only did he avoid the commission fee he would have had to pay if he had approached a real estate agent, but he also said: Luck He said his home sold for about $100,000 more than the agents suggested.
Should you use ChatGPT to sell a house?
Tech bros and bots are foaming at the mouth over the story, positioning it as proof that AI will be a serious moneymaker for the average person.
But some people who actually listened to what Levine said and thought about the whole thing for more than five seconds were left scratching their heads, wondering why this was considered such a big deal.
@wellconnctd “This is no different than a for sale by owner” wrote In X “It’s been around for decades. There’s nothing groundbreaking about it.”
When you really dig into what ChatGPT has done for Levine, it sounds like it mostly consists of looking at basic information like real estate trends, tutorials on listing a home online, and other things that can be widely found through a quick online search.
Creating a timeline for the process, which Levine claims is the most helpful thing ChatGPT has done for him, is something most people can do on their own with a little brainpower.
One thing ChatGPT probably couldn’t do for Levine on its own was drafting a contract for sale. However, he also admitted that he hired a lawyer anyway; This is probably for the best considering how ChatGPT works.

Levine, on the other hand, seems generally excited about the sale of his home, as he should be. He seems equally excited as he points out the usefulness of artificial intelligence.
In fact, he recently wrote: LinkedIn post (or ChatGPT may have written this for him, depending on the style and format) praises the AI and says it made him “more skilled” in the process of selling his home.
“I didn’t do this for publicity; I did it to challenge myself.” he wrote. “At ComOps, we spend a lot of time helping our customers turn insights into action using AI.”
And if you’re one of those people wondering why a man who relied on ChatGPT as a sophisticated search engine to sell his house would somehow brag about it enough to be newsworthy, learning that he’s the CEO of a company that clearly wants to normalize the use of AI might just provide one answer.
