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.
