Why we publish
Every guide must solve a recognizable listing, marketing, or tool-selection problem. Search demand can help us prioritize, but it is not enough reason to publish a page.
Trust & transparency
Editorial and AI-Assistance Policy
The short version: automation can accelerate the work, but it cannot supply the judgment, evidence, or accountability required to publish it.
Effective July 18, 2026
How AI assists
AI may help organize research, generate controlled draft variations, or improve structure. A human reviews the final page, verifies claims and links, and decides what is useful enough to publish.
What counts as evidence
Tool claims must come from documented workflow tests or clearly identified first-party sources. Editorial demonstrations are labeled as examples and are never presented as tool output.
Accuracy and compliance
Property facts, pricing, legal requirements, MLS rules, fair-housing obligations, and brokerage policies can vary. Our guides are educational and do not replace local professional review.
Commercial relationships
We may earn a commission from partner links. Commercial relationships do not determine whether limitations are disclosed or which workflow observations we publish.
Corrections and updates
Substantive changes update the visible modified date. When a tool, price, workflow, or source changes, we revise or retire guidance that is no longer dependable.
Our publication gate
A guide must have a distinct search intent, original value, accurate metadata, useful internal links, visible authorship, sources where facts require them, and a human approval before its status changes from draft to published.
