Agent evaluation for real estate teams shipping AI

An agent screening a tenant or drafting a listing is touching a high-value transaction and a fair housing standard that gets tested in court, and most teams cannot show how it reached a decision.

Every run scored for quality, performance and risk, and checked against the activity schema you define.

§01 / THE STAKESindustry: real estate
TL;DR

Every real estate agent run gets watched, evaluated for quality and risk, and checked against the rules you set. One record answers what any agent did, with evidence ready for review.

The stakes

What's at stake in real estate

For the brokers, leasing agents, and engineering teams behind a screening or listing agent, the stakes are a fair housing standard that gets tested in court and the applicant data the agent can reach on its way to a decision.

01
Fair housing exposure

A listing that reads as steering, or a screen on a protected factor, is exposure that predates AI.

02
Decisions you cannot explain

A decline nobody can explain in fair housing terms is the failure mode that reaches an inquiry.

03
No provenance per applicant

Few teams can show, for a given applicant, which criterion the recommendation actually used.

§02 / SOURCE OF TRUTHconnect: instrument + ingest
The solution

One source of truth for your real estate agents.

Instrument the agent frameworks you build on, and ingest the systems those agents touch as custom spans. Every run, score and signal lands in one place.

The loop

Observe. Evaluate. Act.

A record of what the agent used, and a check before it goes further. Each step below closes one of the problems above.

  • Observe. Every factor the agent used recorded as its own span
  • Evaluate. Each factor checked against the property's published criteria
  • Act. Written to an immutable audit trail, queryable per applicant and per listing

§05 / IN PRODUCTIONproof: two real agents
The proof

Two agents real estate teams are already shipping.

Hypothetical, but grounded in how real estate teams deploy agents today.

Tenant screening assistant

High risk · 87/100

A LangChain agent reviews rental applications against a property's published screening criteria, income and credit thresholds, and drafts a recommendation for a leasing agent to approve or decline.

  • Each application review recorded as its own span, with every factor the agent weighed attached to it
  • Validated against an activity schema that confirms the recommendation used only the published screening criteria, not an unpublished or protected factor
  • Scored for quality and risk on every run

For any declined applicant, a leasing agent can show exactly which published criterion the recommendation used.

Listing description agent

Medium risk · 90/100

A CrewAI agent drafts property listing descriptions from structured property data, and a listing coordinator reviews the draft before it publishes to a listing platform.

  • Every draft the agent produces captured as its own span
  • Validated against an activity schema and a language screen that flags terms with a history of fair housing concern, before a coordinator sees the draft
  • A draft that repeats flagged language can be held before it reaches the listing platform

A coordinator sees a flagged term before the listing publishes, with the flag and its resolution on the record.

Frequently asked questions

Can Prefactor instrument our existing real estate agents without re-architecting?
Yes. There are native SDKs for the frameworks you build on, a TypeScript and Python core SDK for anything else, and OpenTelemetry ingest for closed tools you can't reach with an SDK — no gateway in your request path and no rebuild of your agents.
Can we bring our own real estate systems and metrics into a run?
Yes, through custom spans. Attach data, evaluations or quality signals from any system your agents touch — Listing platform (MLS), Property records, Screening & credit and more — so every evaluation is grounded in what actually happened, not just the model output.
How does evaluation work on each run?
Every run is scored for quality and risk and checked against the activity schema you define. A run that breaches it can be held for review, escalated to a person, or blocked before it acts.
How is this different from an observability tool?
Tracing tells you what an agent did. Prefactor scores it and can hold or block the next action before it runs — observation plus enforcement, and one queryable record for every agent, not just a dashboard.
Where does our real estate data live?
Prefactor's primary infrastructure runs in Australia. For enterprise engagements it deploys where your data needs to live: your region, or your environment. Residency is part of the engagement conversation, not an add-on.
