Live campaign production

Compliance Considerations
What to check before using Otter.ai in client-facing work
Otter.ai can support faster real estate workflows, but final responsibility stays with the licensed agent. Use the checks below before publishing, sending, or relying on AI-assisted work.
Verify property facts
Check CV/RV references, land area, school zones, building details, LIM notes, and comparable sales against trusted source material.
Review marketing claims
Make sure descriptions, visuals, buyer feedback summaries, and campaign statements are accurate, balanced, and not likely to mislead.
Protect client data
Avoid entering sensitive vendor, buyer, or unlisted property information into public AI tools unless your agency process allows it.
This page provides general workflow support, not legal advice. For a broader checklist, read the AI advertising compliance guidance and confirm your process with your agency principal or legal adviser where needed.
