Real Estate Listing Description Templates That Actually Sell

Five copy-paste MLS templates used by top-producing agents. Every template is written to be Fair Housing-safe — describe the property, never the buyer. Swap in your facts and go.

The universal formula every good listing follows:
Hook (strongest feature first) → Layout & flow → Finishes & systems → Location & lifestyle → Soft CTA. Keep it 120–180 words, third person, zero hype punctuation.
