Preferences are standing instructions that Homie remembers and applies automatically across your deals. Think of them as your personal playbook — set them once, and Homie follows them every time.

Why preferences matter

Without preferences, you’d repeat the same instructions in every chat:
  • “Always use a 10-day inspection period”
  • “Default earnest money to $5,000”
  • “On purchase agreements, always select as-is”
With preferences, you tell Homie once. It applies them every time it drafts, fills, or works on your documents.

Types of preferences

User preferences

Standing instructions that apply across all your deals. These go into every interaction with Homie and help with repeatable, multi-step workflows. Examples:
  • “Always use my brokerage’s standard commission split of 3%”
  • “Default earnest money to $5,000 unless I specify otherwise”
  • “When creating a deal, always set the option period to 10 days”
  • “When drafting an offer packet, include the financing addendum and the property condition addendum”

Document preferences

Instructions tied to a specific document type. These activate whenever Homie drafts or fills that particular form — useful for templating repeatable data across deals. Examples:
  • “On purchase agreements, always set the inspection period to 10 days and select possession at closing”
  • “On listing agreements, always include the seller’s disclosure notice”
  • “On buyer rep agreements, always pre-fill the brokerage fee as 3%“

Creating a preference

  1. Go to Preferences in the sidebar
  2. Click New Preference
  3. Fill in:
    • Name — a short title (e.g., “Standard offer defaults”)
    • Content — the instruction Homie should follow
    • Type — User Preference or Document Preference
    • Document type (for document preferences) — which form this applies to
  4. Save

How Homie uses preferences

Homie remembers your preferences automatically. You don’t need to reference them in your chat — Homie picks them up every time.
  • User preferences apply to all interactions within your deals
  • Document preferences activate when Homie works on the matching document type
  • If you give Homie an instruction in chat that conflicts with a preference, the chat instruction wins for that specific request

Organization-level preferences

Admins and TCs can create preferences that apply across the entire organization. These work the same as personal preferences but affect all team members’ deals — useful for brokerage-wide standards.
If a personal preference conflicts with an organization preference, Homie uses the personal preference for your deals.

FAQ

You can delete a preference and recreate it later. Or override it in chat for a specific request — your chat instruction takes priority.
