Your agents already use AI. You answer for how they use it.
Every supervising broker needs an AI governance program. NIRAP gives you the standard, the tools, and the verification to get yours written and ready to roll out in as little as one week.
Your own staff does the work in five guided sessions, so you do not need to hire a consultant.
Built for brokerages that license AI tools, not companies that build them.Three pieces. One shield against AI liability.
From an independent standards body. Built on NIST AI RMF, ISO/IEC 42001, and NAR guidance.Why every supervising broker needs an AI governance program
AI is already in your brokerage, and current law already applies to how your agents use it. You do not need a new AI statute to be exposed, because your exposure started the day your agents opened an AI tool.
One listing description goes out. A complaint follows.
An agent asks an AI tool to write a listing and posts it without a second read. The copy invents a feature and uses wording that raises fair housing concerns.
“Charming 3-bed with a newly renovated chef’s kitchen 1, tucked into a quiet street that’s perfect for young families 2.”
Then come three questions. Your answers decide how it goes.
These are the questions a regulator or opposing counsel would reasonably ask.
The penalty for one Fair Housing Act violation is already set in federal law.
Every answer in the right column is a document the toolkit produces. Your staff can have all of them written in one week.
See the five sessionsAI has three built-in flaws. Your agents and staff can fall for every one.
These flaws come from how the tools work, so no software update will remove them. Each one produces work that looks finished and confident. That is why capable, careful people get caught: the mistake does not look like a mistake until someone checks.
Hallucination
AI invents facts and states them with confidence.
In your office: A listing description claims a renovated kitchen, a school zone, or square footage that is not true.
The text reads smoothly and sounds sure of itself, so a busy agent pastes it into the listing without checking the facts.
Sycophancy
AI tends to agree with whoever is asking.
In your office: An agent asks AI to support a pricing opinion or a reading of contract terms, and the tool backs them up.
The agent hears agreement and takes it as confirmation. In fact, the tool is mostly repeating the agent's own view back to them.
Bias
AI repeats the patterns in the data it learned from.
In your office: Ad copy or a neighborhood description drifts toward wording that raises Fair Housing concerns.
The wording sounds neutral to the person who asked for it, so nobody flags it. Intent is not the test under fair housing law.
The fix is people who know the traps and a rule that someone checks the work. AI Governance 101 teaches every staff member to spot all three, and session 3 of the toolkit sets your brokerage's review requirements.
Five sessions. One week. Then you roll it out.
The toolkit breaks the work into five sessions. Each session is a short video plus a guided tool your staff completes inside the app. Each one ends with a finished document for your brokerage, so nobody is left holding homework. At the end of the week your program is written and ready to roll out to your agents.
Build your AI tool register
List the AI tools your people use and decide which ones the brokerage allows.
Approved AI Tool RegisterWrite your AI policy
Decide what AI may be used for, by whom, and with what client information.
Firm AI PolicySet your review requirements
Define how a person checks AI-assisted work before it reaches a client or goes public.
Work Review StandardSet how long you keep records
Decide which AI records you keep, where you keep them, and for how long.
AI Records Retention ScheduleRoll out your plan and keep it running
Plan training, sign-offs, and check-ins so the program is used and not just filed.
Rollout PlanOne program. One fee for your whole firm.
Responsible AI Toolkit
The app identifies the V-AGE controls that apply to your brokerage and explains each one in plain language. It walks your staff through the five sessions, and its AI assistant drafts any policy or document you are missing.
AI Governance 101
A one-hour video course for every person in your office who uses AI tools. That includes agents, assistants, transaction coordinators, and marketing staff. It explains how AI tools fail, why your brokerage has rules for them, and how to use them safely.
FOR YOUR CLIENTS AND RECRUITS
RAICB™ certification and trust badge
After you upload your evidence, a NIRAP reviewer checks it against the V-AGE standard. A person does the review, not software. If your program meets the standard, your brokerage earns the Responsible AI Certified Business badge.
One fee, priced on how your firm is built.
You pay one program fee, and it is set by how your firm is built. The fee depends on how many AI policies your firm needs, which is one for each state you are licensed in plus any you add for individual supervisors, and on your number of agents. There is no charge per seat.
Governance, not brakes.
Most AI policies are written to say no. Ours are written so your agents can say yes safely. Adoption and governance should run side by side. You should not have to stop using AI to get it under control, and you should not have to accept unmanaged risk to keep using it.
A standards body for firms that use AI, not firms that build it.
NIRAP, the National Institute for Responsible AI Practice, is a standards and certification body. We are not a consultancy. We focus on professional services firms and individual professionals who license AI tools rather than build them. Most brokerages fit that description.
Enterprise AI frameworks assume you have an engineering team. A brokerage has a broker, agents, and support staff. So we took the recognized frameworks and right-sized them for a firm like yours.
