Ask AI about this page

Short answer

Can I use my AI to check property square footage and build years?

Yes. Your AI uses RentCast to pull official property records for specific addresses. You'll get direct answers on lot size, year built, and other metadata. Here is how it works.

The outcomes

What you get from these queries

The AI turns your questions into direct data lookups.

DATA

Verified property specs

The AI pulls exact numbers for square footage and lot size. You get hard facts instead of guessing from listing descriptions.

SPEED

Instant address checks

Instead of clicking through multiple real estate sites, you just ask. The AI fetches the specific record you need immediately.

ANALYSIS

Comparison ready info

Once the data is pulled, you can ask your AI to compare two properties side-by-side. It handles the math and the comparison for you.

HUMAN

Final decision making

The AI provides the raw data and facts. You still make the call on whether the property fits your investment or buying criteria.

The workflow

What your AI does when a property query arrives.

The AI acts as a bridge between your chat and the RentCast database.

  1. Identify the address

    Your AI parses your message to find the specific property address you're asking about.

    get_property_records

  2. Fetch the records

    The AI calls the RentCast tool to pull the official metadata for that specific location.

    get_property_records

  3. Extract specific details

    The AI looks through the returned data to find the exact field you asked for, like lot size or build year.

    get_property_records

  4. Deliver the answer

    The AI presents the verified data in a clear, conversational format in your chat window.
