What Your AI Can Pull

Four search tools, one connector. Your AI can pull from any of these in a single conversation. Honest about scope: each one returns text and links, not full datasets.

Location pages (14,000 plus)

Neighborhoods, ZIP codes, cities, school districts, individual schools, builders, and counties. Returns the name, a short excerpt, and a link to the full page on neuhausre.com.

Relocation & complete guides (150 plus)

70 plus Complete Guides on buying and selling in Austin, plus 80 plus “Moving to Austin from {city}” guides. Returns title, excerpt, and link.

Active listings

Search current Austin-area inventory by city, ZIP, school district, beds, price, acreage, and feature keywords. The same connector the search-listings page details.

Blog (700 plus posts)

Adjacent topics: property taxes, homestead exemptions, HOA rules, market analysis, neighborhood deep-dives, schools. Useful background for an out-of-state buyer.

How to Ask Your AI

Once the connector is installed, paste this into Claude, ChatGPT, or Perplexity. Swap in your departure city.

I am relocating to Austin from Charlotte. Pull your Moving to Austin from Charlotte guide, summarize the key differences, then show me 5 active 4-bedroom listings under $1M in Austin ISD or Eanes ISD with a yard.

Your AI runs search_guides for the Charlotte article, summarizes the excerpt, then runs search_listings with your filters and lines up the results in the same chat. The relocation guide link comes back too, so you can click through for the full article.

5 Relocation Prompts

Each prompt combines two or three connector tools. Copy, swap in your specifics, and run it.

1. Departure-city deep dive plus matching inventory

I am moving to Austin from Nashville. Pull your Moving to Austin from Nashville guide and give me the 5 biggest differences. Then search active Austin listings 3 plus beds, $700K to $1.1M, in 78745, 78704, or 78735. Show top 5 by newest.

2. Compare two Austin school districts

I am deciding between Eanes ISD and Lake Travis ISD for an elementary-aged child. Pull your location pages for both districts, summarize what each is known for, then show me 5 active 4-bed listings under $1.5M in each district. Note the average price per square foot from the listings shown so I can compare.

3. Neighborhood scan inside one ZIP

Pull location pages for the Bouldin Creek, Travis Heights, and Zilker neighborhoods in 78704 South Austin. Summarize what each one is known for. Then show me 3 active listings under $1.2M in each neighborhood, sorted by newest first.

4. “Where do tech families land” research

I work hybrid downtown Austin and want a 30-minute commute, good elementary schools, and a yard. Pull any guide articles you have on commute, schools, and yard-friendly neighborhoods. Then list 5 active 3 plus bed homes between $700K and $1.2M that fit.

5. Property tax orientation

I am moving from California and Texas property taxes scare me. Search your blog and complete guides for “property tax” and “homestead exemption.” Summarize the top 3 articles. Then show me 5 active homes in Travis County under $1M with full details.

The free tier covers all currently active listings, 80 plus relocation guides, 70 plus complete guides, 700 plus blog posts, and 14,000 plus location pages. 10 results per query, 10 searches per hour, 100 per month.

Relocation Timeline

An out-of-state relocation has phases. The connector is most useful early, when you are still triangulating, and again right before you fly in.

90 to 60 days out: orientation

You know you are moving. You may not know exactly where in Austin. This is the phase to ask broad questions: “What neighborhoods do you have pages on for buyers under $1.5M with good elementary schools?” The AI surfaces 8 to 15 candidates with short blurbs. You skim, click through to the neuhausre.com pages for the ones that catch your eye, and start a working shortlist.

60 to 30 days out: deep dives

You have a shortlist of 4 or 5 neighborhoods. Now you want context. Pull the relocation guide for your departure city, read it on neuhausre.com, and ask your AI to surface adjacent blog posts on property tax, homestead exemption, and HOA rules. By the end of this phase you should have a written sense of the financial picture and a top-3 list of neighborhoods.

30 to 14 days out: inventory scan

This is when the active-listings tool earns its keep. Set up a project or saved prompt that runs each morning: “Show me new active listings in my top 3 ZIP codes, 3 plus beds, $X to $Y, posted in the last 24 hours.” You arrive in Austin already knowing which homes are worth the tour and which are not.

In market: showing prep

Same connector, different tool. Now use the compare workflow on the compare-homes page to line up three finalists side by side after a Saturday of touring. By Sunday evening you and your spouse have a structured view of the top 3 and a clear conversation to have with your agent on Monday.

The throughline: your AI handles the search and surface-level summarization; the people-and-property work (touring, negotiating, deciding) still happens with your broker.

Compare Neighborhoods

The connector returns short blurbs and links. Each blurb is roughly 250 characters: enough to know what the place is known for, not a full neighborhood report. Then your AI hands you the link to the full page on neuhausre.com, where you find the photos, current listings, market stats, and editorial commentary that make a real comparison.

Translation: the AI is the index, the website is the library. Use the AI to narrow 30 candidate neighborhoods down to 5. Then click through and read.

A common workflow

Ask your AI: “What Austin neighborhoods do you have pages on for buyers in the $1M to $1.5M range with good schools and walkability?”
Your AI surfaces 8 to 12 candidates with short descriptions.
You skim, pick 4 or 5 that catch your eye.
You click through to the neuhausre.com pages for each one. Photos, current listings, and market context all live there.
You message Ed with a shortlist and the next time you are in town.

What Your AI Cannot Do

Honesty about scope. The connector is a search-and-summarize tool. It does not currently return:

Structured neighborhood comparison data (median price, demographics, crime stats)
TEA school ratings, enrollment numbers, or feeder school relationships
Cost-of-living calculators (your-city vs Austin)
Real-time commute or drive-time data
Demographic breakdowns
Climate or weather data
The full text of any complete guide or relocation guide (you get the excerpt and a link, click through for the full article)

For cost of living, school ratings, or a real conversation about which Austin neighborhood fits you, schedule a call. Use our contact page or call the office at (512) 366-3270. Our founder Ed Neuhaus has been helping people land in Austin for 19 years and answers his own phone.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to be moving from a city you have a guide for?

No. The relocation guides are useful when they exist, but the rest of the connector (location pages, listings, complete guides, blog) works regardless of where you are coming from. If you do not see your city in the list, ask your AI anyway. We add new guides regularly.

Can the AI tell me which neighborhood to pick?

It will offer an opinion if you ask. The AI is good at narrowing 30 neighborhoods down to 5 based on stated priorities (schools, walkability, price band). It is not good at the last-mile question of which one you will actually like to live in. That part requires walking around and a real conversation, which is what our office is for.

Does this work for relocations away from Austin?

No. The connector is Austin-area only. If you are leaving Austin and want help on the destination side, our team can usually refer you to a vetted broker in most major US markets. Send a note via the contact page.

How current are the relocation guides?

All 80 plus “Moving to Austin from {city}” guides were written or refreshed in the past 12 months. The location pages and active listings update in near real time from our VOW data feed.

Will my AI read me the full guide?

No. The connector returns the title and a short excerpt. Click the link to read the full guide on neuhausre.com. Excerpts are by design: they keep the connector lightweight and drive readers to the full editorial context, including photos, embedded listings, and updated market data.

What if I want hard data, not narrative?

For closed-sale comps and structured market statistics by city, ZIP, or school district, the Active Buyer tier is the right fit. It requires a signed buyer representation agreement, $200 a month, credited back at closing. The free tier is for active inventory plus all the editorial content.

Who built this and is it really live?

Yes, it is live. Our founder, Ed Neuhaus, is an active Austin broker who built this on top of the same data pipeline that runs neuhausre.com. We hold a Virtual Office Website license from the Austin Board of REALTORS. The connector is not a data resale product, it is a way to publish the same listings and content into the AI tools you already use.
