Level 1 is the foundation every later MAREC level builds on. It teaches what a language model, an image model, a voice system, and an autonomous agent actually do, where each fails, and why a fluent answer about a property, a neighbourhood, a contract deadline, or a client is not the same as a verified one. It then walks the real estate transaction from lead to closing and shows, at each step, what an AI tool can safely prepare and what a licensed person must decide.

The fifteen modules cover AI fundamentals; real estate fundamentals across residential, commercial, luxury, property management, investment, land, and new construction; ethics and responsible AI with fair housing at the centre; prompt engineering for real estate; lead generation; listing services; buyer representation; transaction management; marketing; business operations; security and compliance; building AI agents; technology integration; brokerage leadership; and the future of the industry.

Three habits run through every module. First, classify data before it reaches a tool: a buyer's pre-approval letter, a seller's disclosure, and a tenant application are not public text. Second, verify every fact an AI tool produces against the source it should have come from: the MLS record, the county record, the contract, the state rule. Third, name the licensed person who reviews the output before a client sees it, because the licence, not the software, carries the accountability.

Level 1 is vendor-neutral. Every exercise can be completed with any general-purpose assistant your brokerage has approved. The final examination is scenario-based and drawn at random from the Level 1 question bank.

This is an independent educational course offered by AI Coalition Network. It does not replace a real estate licence, brokerage supervision, MLS rules, or the fair housing, licensing, and consumer protection laws of any jurisdiction.
