Actual terms will vary by lender, credit profile, and market conditions.* ``` --- ## Quality Rules 1. **Use current rates** — Always search for today's rates. Stale rates produce wrong numbers. 2. **Include all costs** — PITI + PMI + HOA = true monthly cost. Never quote P&I alone as "the payment." 3. **Location matters** — Property tax rates vary from 0.3% (Hawaii) to 2.5%+ (New Jersey). Use local rates. 4. **Round appropriately** — Monthly payments to nearest dollar, rates to nearest 0.125%. 5. **Show the math** — Mortgage math should be transparent and reproducible. 6. **Conservative affordability** — Use the 28/36 rule as baseline, not the maximum a lender will approve. 7. **Acknowledge rate volatility** — Note that rates change daily and these are estimates. 8. **No emojis** — Use text-based formatting only. ## Source & license This open-source skill is cataloged on AgentStack and links to its original source — we do not rehost the code. - **Author:** [zubair-trabzada](https://github.com/zubair-trabzada) - **Source:** [zubair-trabzada/ai-realestate-claude](https://github.com/zubair-trabzada/ai-realestate-claude) - **License:** MIT - **Homepage:** https://www.skool.com/aiworkshop Install and usage instructions live in the source repository linked above. ## Pricing - **Free** — Free ## Security capabilities Automated source analysis of v0.1.0 — what this tool can access: - **Network access:** no - **Filesystem access:** no - **Shell / process execution:** no - **Environment & secrets:** no - **Dynamic code execution:** no *"Yes" means the capability is present in the source — more access means more to trust, not that it is unsafe.* ## Versions - **0.1.0** — security scan: passed — Imported from the upstream source. ## Links - Listing page: https://agentstack.voostack.com/l/skill-zubair-trabzada-ai-realestate-claude-realestate-mortgage - Seller: https://agentstack.voostack.com/s/zubair-trabzada - Browse the marketplace: https://agentstack.voostack.com/browse --- Listed on AgentStack — the marketplace for AI agent skills and MCP servers.
