In September 2026 I asked ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity for the best agent, a listing agent, a first-time buyer's agent, a luxury agent, and relocation and new construction help in Raleigh. Everything on this page is what came back. No sample data.
76 agents and teams were named at least once. No one appeared in more than half the answer slots. Linda Craft Team and The Coley Group lead at 46.7%. In Raleigh cosmetic dentistry, the leader holds 93.3%.
Agents and teams by share of the 15 answer slots.
56 of the 76 were named in exactly one answer, on one engine.
89 agents were named across relocation, new construction, military and 55+ questions. 74 of them appeared once. Linda Craft Team leads at 40%.
Military relocation went to Compass Military. The 55+ question named individual agents who appear nowhere near the top. With no runaway winner, an agent with the right reviews and pages can get into the shortlist faster.
Buyers ask the specific question. The agent the AI knows for that question gets the call, and it's rarely the same agent twice.
I pulled 620 Triangle agents and teams from Google Maps and checked the ones AI never named against their own websites for advertising tags. These are businesses already paying to be found.
The market numbers above are public. Yours are specific: how often you're named, who takes the answers you lose, the sources the engines read instead of your site, and where in the Triangle you disappear.
The same 15-answer measurement run on your team, against the names above.
Sellers, first-time buyers, relocation, luxury, new construction. Most agents show up for one.
The directories and review profiles handed to the buyer in your place.
Run per location: Raleigh, Cary, Apex, Wake Forest, Durham. “Near me” answers change block to block.
20 minutes. I'll have run your numbers before we speak, and you keep the report whether we work together or not.
