How We Use Claude AI to Automate Real Estate Valuations

Our AI-powered valuation system processes thousands of properties daily. Here's how we built it.

The Challenge

Traditional property valuations are:

•Slow (days to weeks)

•Expensive ($300-500 per valuation)

•Inconsistent (varies by appraiser)

We built a system that:

•Processes valuations in under 1 second

•Costs pennies per valuation

•Provides consistent, explainable results

1.Property data ingestion: from MLS, public records, and market feeds

2.Feature extraction: using structured data processing

3.AI analysis: via Claude for contextual understanding

4.Confidence scoring: based on data completeness

We use Claude for:

•Natural language property descriptions

•Market condition analysis

•Comparable property selection reasoning

•Risk factor identification

After 6 months in production:

•50,000+: valuations processed

•< 1 second: average response time

•94%: accuracy vs traditional appraisals

1.Prompt engineering is critical: Small changes yield big improvements

2.Structured outputs are essential: JSON mode reduces parsing errors

3.Human review matters: AI assists, doesn't replace expertise
