1. Characteristics of a Great Prompt
Crafting a great prompt is like setting the stage for a conversation—you guide ChatGPT by providing all the right details so it can deliver exactly what you need. Here's how to structure your prompts to get professional, tailored results for Malaysian real estate tasks.
What Makes a Prompt Effective?
- Specificity: Be clear about what you want. Mention details like property type, location, audience, or tone.
- Goal-Oriented: State the purpose or outcome—whether it’s drafting a property ad, explaining a legal term, or creating social media content.
- Contextual Relevance: Include Malaysian-specific references, such as tenancy laws, public transport, or cultural nuances, to ensure the response resonates locally.
Examples of Well-Written Prompts
1. Property Listings
- Prompt:
“Create a property listing for a 3-bedroom condominium in Bangsar. Emphasize its proximity to the MRT and international schools.”
- Output:
“Discover this stunning 3-bedroom condominium in the heart of Bangsar! Just a 5-minute walk to the MRT station, this property offers unparalleled convenience. Ideal for families, it’s also located near top international schools. Featuring spacious rooms, a modern kitchen, and scenic city views, this condo is perfect for urban living.”
2. Explaining Legal Concepts
- Prompt:
“Summarize Malaysian tenancy laws for explaining to a new landlord in simple terms.”
- Output:
“Under Malaysian tenancy laws, landlords are responsible for maintaining the property in good condition, while tenants must pay rent on time and avoid causing damage. Agreements typically include clauses on deposit refunds, termination notice periods, and allowable uses of the property.”
3. Social Media Content
- Prompt:
“Write a Facebook post promoting a serviced apartment for rent in Mont Kiara, highlighting its facilities and suitability for expatriates.”
- Output:
“Looking for a luxurious serviced apartment in Mont Kiara? This stunning unit offers world-class amenities like a gym, pool, and 24-hour security. Perfect for expatriates, it’s located near international schools, shopping malls, and top dining spots. Book a viewing today!”
Quick Tip:
When in doubt, ask yourself:
- Does my prompt include the who, what, where, and why?
- Have I provided enough context for ChatGPT to work with?
- Is the tone appropriate for my audience?
By taking these steps, you can ensure your prompts lead to professional, polished, and Malaysia-specific results every time!
2. Common Prompt-Writing Mistakes and Troubleshooting
Even the best tool needs the right input to deliver great results. Writing effective prompts is about balance: too vague, and you’ll get generic responses; too overloaded, and the output might miss the mark. Here's how to avoid common pitfalls and troubleshoot issues for better results.
A. Being Too Vague
- Bad Prompt:
“Write a property description.”
- Why It Fails:
This gives ChatGPT no specific direction, leading to a generic response that lacks relevance.
- Improved Prompt:
“Write a luxurious property description for a 2-bedroom condo in KLCC targeted at expatriates. Include details about nearby landmarks and amenities.”
- Output:
“Experience upscale living in this elegant 2-bedroom condominium in KLCC, offering breathtaking views of the Petronas Twin Towers. Located near premier shopping malls, fine dining, and international schools, this property is perfect for expatriates seeking convenience and luxury.”
B. Lack of Context
- Bad Prompt:
“Explain property taxes.”
- Why It Fails:
Without specifying Malaysia or the type of tax, the response may be generic and not applicable to your needs.
- Improved Prompt:
“Explain Malaysia’s Real Property Gains Tax (RPGT) for a landlord selling a residential property within five years of purchase.”
- Output:
“Malaysia’s Real Property Gains Tax (RPGT) applies to property sales made within the first five years of ownership. For individuals, the tax rate is 30% for disposals in the first three years, reducing to 15% in the fifth year.”
C. Overloading the Prompt
- Bad Prompt:
“Write a property listing for a 3-bedroom condo in Bukit Bintang with details about its design, facilities, nearby landmarks, rental price, and why it’s a good investment.”
- Why It Fails:
Overloading a single prompt with too many requirements can confuse ChatGPT, resulting in a response that’s either disorganized or incomplete.
- Improved Prompt:
- “Describe the design and facilities of a 3-bedroom condo in Bukit Bintang.”
- “Highlight nearby landmarks and their appeal for renters.”
- “Explain why this property is a good investment for landlords.”
Break it into smaller, focused prompts:
By handling each aspect separately, you can piece together detailed and cohesive content.
Troubleshooting Tip:
If your output feels off, ask yourself:
- Did I provide enough context (location, audience, purpose)?
- Is my goal clear (e.g., sell, inform, or attract)?
- Am I asking for too much in one go?
A little clarity in your prompt can go a long way in improving the quality of ChatGPT’s responses!
4. Practical Tips for Writing Effective Prompts
Writing effective prompts is like giving instructions to a trusted assistant—be clear, concise, and purposeful. A well-crafted prompt ensures ChatGPT delivers accurate and actionable responses tailored to your needs. Here's how to master prompt writing for Malaysian real estate workflows:
1. Be Direct
Think of your prompt as a task you’re delegating. Avoid vague language and go straight to the point.
- Instead of:
“Tell me about a property in KLCC.”
- Use:
“Write a description of a luxury 3-bedroom condo in KLCC targeted at high-net-worth individuals.”
Why It Works:
Specificity helps ChatGPT provide a response that aligns with your expectations, avoiding unnecessary guesswork.
2. Include Audience Details
Tailor your prompts to reflect the preferences and needs of your target audience.
- Prompt:
“Write an Instagram caption for a cozy studio apartment in Bangsar targeting young professionals.”
- Output:
“Looking for the perfect space to match your vibrant lifestyle? 🏙️ This cozy studio in Bangsar offers trendy vibes, great amenities, and unbeatable convenience. DM us for a tour today! 💼✨”
Why It Works:
Defining the audience ensures that the tone, content, and delivery are aligned with your marketing goals.
3. Use Action Words
Start your prompts with action verbs like “Create,” “Summarize,” “Explain,” or “Generate” to focus on the desired outcome.
- Prompt:
“Summarize the pros and cons of investing in landed properties in Selangor.”
- Output:
- High appreciation value in strategic locations like Shah Alam and Subang Jaya.
- Strong demand for family homes with gardens and private space.
- Higher upfront costs compared to high-rise units.
- Limited availability in urban areas.
Pros:
Cons:
Why It Works:
Action words create a clear objective, ensuring the output is both actionable and relevant.
4. Specify the Output Format
Clearly indicate how you’d like the information to be organized—lists, paragraphs, bullet points, or structured outlines.
- Prompt:
“List the top 3 reasons why landlords should invest in properties in Mont Kiara.”
- Output:
- High Rental Demand: Mont Kiara is a favorite among expatriates, ensuring steady rental income.
- Proximity to Amenities: Close to international schools, shopping malls, and dining spots.
- Capital Appreciation: Consistent growth in property value due to its premium location.
Why It Works:
Specifying the format ensures the response is easy to read and directly usable.
Quick Checklist for Better Prompts

- Who’s your audience? Define the target group to refine tone and content.
- What’s your goal? Outline the purpose of the output (sell, educate, or attract).
