get_property_dataLABSCO SUMMARY
Property and rental-market data an agent can query by property or by area.
The tools split into property-level and area-level questions, so an agent can pull one home's details and valuation or step back to a ZIP code's market statistics and current listings, answering both the specific and the comparative in one session.
What it is
A server that connects an assistant to the RentCast API, exposing tools for property details, value and rent estimates, market statistics, and active listings.
What you get
- get_property_data returns detailed data for a property
- get_property_valuation and get_rent_estimate return value and rent estimates for a property
- get_market_statistics returns market statistics for a ZIP-code area, and get_property_listings returns active listings there
