How We Use AI to Filter Out Empty Homes (So You Stop Wasting Time)
Most lead lists include vacant properties. We use Google's Gemini AI to scan listing photos and only send you furnished homes.

Robert Book The Move
Every moving company owner knows the frustration: you get a lead list, start calling, and half the homes are empty. No furniture. No move. Wasted time.
That's why we built AI furniture detection into every Book The Move plan.
The Problem With Traditional Lead Lists
Services like USA Home Listings scrape real estate websites and hand you a spreadsheet of everyone who listed their home. Sounds great until you realize:
Investors flip empty properties — no move needed
New construction listings have no furniture — nobody living there
Some sellers move out before listing — already gone
Industry estimates suggest 20-40% of listed homes are vacant or empty. That's a lot of dead leads you're paying for.
How Our AI Furniture Scanner Works
We use Google's Gemini AI to analyze every listing photo before a lead hits your dashboard.
Step 1: Photo Collection When a home lists on Redfin, Zillow, or MLS, we pull all available listing photos — living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, garages.
Step 2: AI Analysis Gemini scans each photo looking for furniture indicators:
Couches, beds, tables, chairs
Personal items (photos, decorations, clothes)
Kitchen items (appliances on counters, items in cabinets)
Garage contents (boxes, tools, stored items)
Step 3: Furnished Score Each listing gets a furnished confidence score. Only homes that pass our threshold make it to your lead list.
Step 4: Delivery You receive a daily feed of verified furnished homes — people who actually have stuff to move.
What Gemini Catches That Humans Miss
The AI is analyzing dozens of photos per listing in seconds. It catches things like:
Staged vs. lived-in homes — Staged homes often have minimal, generic furniture. Lived-in homes have clutter, personal items, full closets.
Partial vacancy — Some rooms furnished, others empty. Might indicate a move in progress.
Garage contents — A packed garage often means a bigger move. Empty garage might mean they've already moved items out.
Why This Matters For Your Bottom Line
Let's do the math:
Without furniture filtering:
100 leads per month
30% are vacant/empty
70 actual prospects
You paid for 100, got value from 70
With Book The Move:
70 leads per month (only furnished homes)
95%+ are legitimate prospects
You paid for 70, got value from 70
Same number of real opportunities. Less wasted time. Lower cost per qualified lead.
