Can I post about my own product?
Yes, but only if you are an active contributor and your post gives real value to members instead of selling. Rule “Give more than you get” allows it on those conditions only.

Rule summary
- Give more than you get: Don’t come to this sub ONLY to promote, get feedback on your new idea, participation in your project, etc. Our community views these posts as spam - so it's ONLY allowed from folks who are ACTIVE contributors to the community, and when posted in a way that gives value to our members (rather than just trying to sell us something). Same thing on posts that are just asking what would be helpful for agents - we get these posts all the time and they add no value to members.
- Be kind and courteous: Negativity is heavily moderated to keep this a positive environment. We're all working hard in this industry - let's treat each other with respect.
- Questions are just fine: All posts that help real estate professionals are welcome. No question is a bad question. We're all here to help each other get better. Real estate is a tough industry, and we were all new at some point. So, don't be afraid to ask for help! Keep all questions in the group though so everyone can benefit (no DM requests).
- Marketing/Vendor discussions are encouraged: Unlike other agent-focused subreddits, we err on the side of allowing content discussing vendors as long as it's not blatantly self-promotional. It's understood that as real estate professionals, often you have to spend money to be successful. Let's post helpful content that helps other real estate professionals succeed.
- New posts require some karma: In order to create a new post in the community, your account must have at least 10 or more post and/or comment karma. This is to help us combat spam.
- No Spam: No AI generated posts or otherwise low effort posts. Posting listings is prohibited. This group is meant for agents to share their knowledge and expertise - not for spamming your listing to our nationwide group. Please don't post - your listings/ LOCAL events, your candle MLM (or whatever), your videos used to attract buyers/sellers (wrong audience)
Works well
- A comparison of two real estate tools you have actually used, with an honest take on where each one wins and falls short.
- A detailed walkthrough of a workflow that makes agents or brokers faster, written so members can copy it without buying anything.
- A question asked publicly, like asking agents how they handle a specific tech problem, so the whole group can benefit from the answers.
- A breakdown of a proptech trend or funding story, with your own take on what it means for working professionals.
- A story about a mistake you made choosing or building real estate software, and what you would do differently.
Avoid
- Promoting your tool without a history of commenting and contributing here first, which breaks “Give more than you get”.
- Posting from a fresh account with under 10 karma, which gets removed under “New posts require some karma”.
- Using AI to draft your post, which is banned under “No Spam”.
- Asking members to DM you for details instead of keeping the conversation public, which breaks “Questions are just fine”.
- Posting your listings, local events, or buyer and seller attracting videos, which are all prohibited under “No Spam”.
- Writing a post that only asks what features agents would want, which the rules call out as adding no value to members.
What r/RealEstateTechnology Is For
This community is for real estate technology. The people here are real estate professionals, so agents, brokers, investors, and proptech professionals. The description says the space covers lead generation, marketing, websites, SMS, and SaaS for real estate, plus consumer behavior and residential and commercial software. It is also a place for broader proptech trends, like mobile apps, business and funding news. The simple version from the description is this: if it is a tool that makes life easier for real estate professionals, it belongs here. The rules add that agents come here to share knowledge and expertise with each other.
Rules That Matter Before Posting
Four rules decide your fate here. “Give more than you get” is the big one, because it says promotion is only allowed from people who are active contributors and only when the post gives value to members. “Marketing/Vendor discussions are encouraged” is the good news, because this community allows vendor talk that is not blatantly self-promotional. “New posts require some karma” means your account needs at least 10 post or comment karma before you can post at all. “No Spam” bans AI generated posts, low effort posts, and listings. “Questions are just fine” also matters because it welcomes questions but requires you to keep them public, with no DM requests.
What To Post
A good post here teaches something useful about real estate technology. Since “Marketing/Vendor discussions are encouraged” is part of the rules, you can talk about vendors and tools, as long as you are not blatantly self-promotional and you are already an active contributor under “Give more than you get”. A walkthrough of a real workflow, an honest comparison of tools, or a lesson from working with real estate software all fit. Questions are welcome too, and the rules promise no question is a bad question, but keep every question public in the group and never ask for DMs. Write the post yourself in your own words, because AI generated content is banned under “No Spam”.
What To Avoid
The fastest way to get removed is to show up only to promote, because the community sees that as spam. Low karma accounts get filtered before anything else matters, so do not post with a brand new account. AI written posts are banned, so write everything yourself. Posts that only ask what would be helpful for agents are called out by name as valueless, so skip that shape. Never post listings, local events, or videos meant to attract buyers and sellers, since those are explicitly prohibited. Do not ask people to DM you, because questions must stay in the group so everyone benefits. Negativity is heavily moderated, so stay kind even when someone disagrees with you.

Can I post with a brand new account?
Yes, the rules are explicit. You need at least 10 combined post or comment karma before you can create a post here.
Can I ask questions here?
Yes. Rule “Questions are just fine” welcomes any question that helps real estate professionals, as long as you keep it public in the group.
Can I include a link to my site?
