Will ChatGPT recommend you? HousingWire on "AI visibility" for real estate agents
Original headline: “Google got you found. Now real estate agents need to win over AI” — HousingWire, Oct 7, 2026
HousingWire reports that buyers and sellers are starting to ask ChatGPT, Gemini or Perplexity for agent recommendations, and that strong Google rankings don't guarantee showing up there. A withNotable Spring 2026 study it cites found about 1.3% of licensed pros in 10 markets named in AI answers, and 88.7% of those appeared on only one platform.
Our take (opinion & analysis, not reporting)
Run the prompts your clients would use, keep your name and brokerage consistent across profiles, and keep collecting third-party reviews. Your CRM's review requests are part of this: consistent third-party reviews are one of the few signals you control.
