Why use this Debug an error message prompt?

This debug an error message prompt is written for a real-estate brokerage. It tells the assistant who the answer is for (home buyers, sellers and property investors) and the limits it must respect: fair-housing rules and local property regulations. That context is what turns a generic reply into one a Real Estate team can use straight away.

Most people type a single line and get a generic answer back. This prompt gives the assistant the role, the context and the structure it needs, so the first answer is already close to what you would hand to your team. Because it is written for Real Estate, it keeps the focus on what that industry measures: days on market and closed deals.

How to get the best answer

Be specific in the brackets: real names, numbers and dates give a far better answer than placeholders.
Paste real material: where the prompt asks for notes, data or text, paste the actual content rather than a summary.
Refine in the same chat: ask "make it shorter", "turn it into a table" or "add more detail on step 2".
Check the result: review it against what you know about days on market and closed deals before you share it.
