Rule summary

  • Give more than you get: Do not join only to promote, request feedback, recruit project participation, or ask what agents would find helpful. Promotion is limited to active contributors and must give members value rather than simply sell to them.
  • Be kind and courteous: Treat other members with respect. The rule says negativity is heavily moderated to preserve a positive environment.
  • Questions are just fine: Questions that help real estate professionals are welcome. Keep questions in the community so everyone can benefit rather than asking for direct messages.
  • Marketing/Vendor discussions are encouraged: Helpful discussion of vendors is allowed when it is not blatantly self-promotional and helps real estate professionals succeed.
  • New posts require some karma: An account needs at least 10 post or comment karma to create a new post. The requirement is intended to reduce spam.
  • No Spam: Do not post AI-generated or other low-effort content, property listings, local events, multilevel-marketing promotions, or buyer-and-seller attraction videos.

Works well

  • Source-backed fit: technology that helps agents, brokers, investors, and proptech professionals, including lead generation, marketing, websites, messaging, and residential or commercial software.
  • Formal rule: questions that help real estate professionals are welcome and should stay in the public discussion rather than move to direct messages.
  • Formal rule: useful vendor and marketing discussions are encouraged when they are not blatantly self-promotional.
  • Formal rule: an active contributor may share something connected to their work only when the post gives the community value instead of merely seeking promotion, feedback, or participation.

Avoid

  • Formal rule: do not use the community only to promote, request product feedback, recruit project participation, or ask agents what to build.
  • Formal rule: do not request direct messages for a question that should remain available to the community.
  • Formal rule: new posts require at least 10 post or comment karma.
  • Formal rule: avoid AI-generated and other low-effort posts, property listings, local events, multilevel-marketing promotions, and buyer-or-seller attraction videos.
  • Formal rule: avoid blatant vendor self-promotion and disrespectful or persistently negative participation.

What r/RealEstateTechnology Is For

The public description serves agents, brokers, investors, and proptech professionals discussing tools and technology for real estate. It names lead generation, marketing, websites, messaging, SaaS, consumer behavior, residential and commercial software, mobile apps, funding, and industry news.

The rules make this a help-first professional community. Questions are welcome, and vendor discussions are more permissive than in many real-estate communities, but neither allowance overrides the restrictions on one-sided promotion and spam.

Rules That Matter Before Posting

r/RealEstateTechnology publishes six formal rules. Members should give more value than they take, remain courteous, keep useful questions in the public discussion, and avoid spam. New posts require at least 10 post or comment karma.

Vendor and marketing discussion is expressly encouraged when it helps real estate professionals and is not blatantly self-promotional. Promotion, feedback requests, and project recruitment are limited to active contributors whose post gives members value rather than merely extracting attention or free research.

What To Post

Source-backed fits include:

  • A clear question about a real-estate tool, workflow, vendor, or technology decision.
  • A useful comparison or experience that helps other real estate professionals make a decision.
  • A discussion of proptech trends, funding, software, lead generation, marketing, or consumer behavior.
  • A vendor-related contribution that is genuinely useful, non-blatant, and consistent with an established record of participation.

Keep the discussion in the thread rather than asking members to direct-message answers. That is stated directly in the questions rule.

What To Avoid

Do not arrive only to promote, recruit project participants, collect product feedback, or ask agents what you should build. Do not use an ostensibly helpful question as a sales or research funnel.

Avoid AI-generated and other low-effort content, property listings, local events, multilevel-marketing promotion, buyer-or-seller attraction videos, blatant vendor promotion, and disrespectful conduct. Do not create a new post until the account meets the published 10-karma requirement.

Rankhog Notes

r/PropertyManagement routes all property-management software matters elsewhere and is much stricter than this community. r/Landlord prohibits app, website, and tool feedback requests. r/BIM is a closer technical fit for building-information-modeling workflows. Match the post to the community's stated subject and promotion boundary.

Yes, when the discussion helps real estate professionals and is not blatantly self-promotional. A separate rule says contributors should give more value than they take.

Can I ask members to review my new proptech product?

Not as a newcomer or someone participating only to get feedback. Rule 1 treats those posts as spam and allows promotion only from active contributors when the post gives members real value.
