WHAT THEY SAY

The claim

The author says they saved the 3% realtor commission and got the $5,000 realtor bonus on a new build.

@teachthemx3 asked the bot

Find a new build home that matches what I'm looking for and negotiate the price.

Grok Bot: what it did

Found a new build home matching the author's requirements and drafted price negotiation emails the author approved. Another bot is handling closing and lending.

Paraphrased from the post, not the exact words.

WHAT THE POST SHOWS

Evidence: Text only Stage: Provider agreed

The only image, in a reply, is a D.R. Horton flyer for realtors offering up to 3% commission plus up to $10,000 on select Houston area inventory homes; it isn't the author's contract. No price, address or closing papers are shown, and closing is still in progress. The author shares a template for the realtor bot and says in a reply the bot also compares 5 and 10 year costs with tax, HOA and rate buydowns.
