Top 10 AI FAQs for Real Estate Agents and Brokers in New York

AI often exaggerates or invents facts. Misrepresentation in advertising is a top reason DOS revokes licenses for real estate salespersons and associate brokers. Phrases like “waterfront” or “legal two-family” must match verified facts and permits.

Our real estate continuing education courses walk through real property law technicalities using cases where agents lost licenses for misleading ads. Taught by litigators, you learn exactly how DOS, NAR, and REBNY apply these rules and how to verify facts before publishing.

AI may suggest Fair Housing red flags like “perfect for families” or “safe neighborhood,” which regulators view as steering. Ads still require proper broker identification and compliance with platform rules and local MLS policies.

We review enforcement actions where social posts triggered complaints. Our CE shows how DOS, NAR, and REBNY apply Fair Housing and disclosure requirements, and gives you compliant language templates that pass review.

AI won’t track agency disclosure rules. If this is the first point of substantial contact, you may need to deliver agency disclosures immediately. AI can also insert sensitive details (family status, disability, income) that create Fair Housing and confidentiality exposure. It will not remind you of the exact local forms required by DOS, NAR, or REBNY. Also, don't provide confidential client information to AI as that could be a breach of your fiduciary duty of confidentiality.

We teach the disclosure timing, the right forms, and how regulators evaluate “substantial contact.” Our litigators use DOS cases where missed agency disclosures led to discipline and provide compliant message frameworks you can adapt.

Even scheduled content must meet license law: broker name, license status where required, fair advertising practices, and broker supervision. Unreviewed auto-posts can trigger DOS complaints.

We show disclosure checklists and real DOS cases on unsupervised ads. You leave with a pre-publication compliance workflow that aligns with NAR and REBNY guidance.

Oversimplified or wrong data can lead to negligent misrepresentation claims. Agents and brokers must verify sources, define assumptions, and document context.

We analyze litigation where market explanations were challenged in court and how DOS/REBNY standards applied. You get repeatable scripts and disclaimers that clarify scope and reliance.

Explaining or interpreting contract clauses to clients can be the unauthorized practice of law. Non-attorney licensees risk administrative action if they cross that line. Also, don't provide confidential client information to AI as that could be a breach of your fiduciary duty of confidentiality.

We map the boundary between permissible discussion and legal interpretation using DOS and REBNY matters. You’ll learn safe language, attorney referral triggers, and documentation best practices.

Data collection and targeting must avoid protected characteristics and comply with privacy laws and platform rules. Improper scripts or segmentation can invite Fair Housing scrutiny and consumer protection claims.

We cover privacy and Fair Housing technicalities with real investigations. You’ll get compliant audience criteria, consent language, and audit trails that satisfy DOS/NAR/REBNY expectations.

AI does not know New York disclosure rules. Omitting broker name, firm, license status, or required disclaimers can lead to suspension or fines.

We walk through DOS enforcement cases on ad disclosures and provide copy templates that include mandatory identifiers. You’ll learn how NAR/REBNY policies align with state rules.

Publishing AI output without verification exposes you to negligence claims. Courts and regulators hold the licensee responsible, not the tool.

We teach verification workflows, documentation, and disclaimers that reduce risk while keeping your speed advantage. Case studies show how judges evaluated “should have known” standards.

First-contact agency disclosures, ad identifiers, data privacy, and avoiding legal interpretation are the hot spots that trigger DOS actions and lawsuits.

Our CE courses focus on compliance technicalities with real disciplinary and litigation examples. You’ll get checklists for review, safe language libraries, and when to loop in counsel.
