- Do sellers really pick agents through ChatGPT?
- The shortlist increasingly starts there. Sellers have always interviewed two or three agents; what changed is where those names come from. Instead of asking a neighbor or scrolling Zillow, they ask an AI engine “who's the best realtor to sell my house in <city>?” and get a confident, named answer. If you're one of the names, you're in the living room. If not, the referral you were counting on gets checked against a list you're missing from.
- I have great Zillow reviews. Doesn't that already cover me?
- It's a strong start — Zillow profiles are among the most-cited sources in the agent answers we track. But each engine weighs sources differently: some lean on Google reviews, others on Realtor.com, HomeLight rankings, or local press. Being strong on one surface and absent elsewhere means you win one engine's answer and lose the rest. Tibly shows you exactly which engines name you, which don't, and which source would change that.
- How local does the tracking get?
- As local as your farm area. Real estate AI answers are intensely geographic — “best agent in <neighborhood>” returns different names than the citywide question — so Tibly tracks questions at the neighborhood, zip, and suburb level you actually work. You can watch your own farm daily and also monitor the areas you want to expand into, seeing who currently owns those answers before you spend a dollar farming them.
- I'm on a team. Does the team get tracked, or me personally?
- Both, and the distinction matters. Engines sometimes recommend a team name (“The Smith Group”), sometimes an individual agent, and sometimes your brokerage — and sellers hear those differently. Tibly tracks whichever identities you care about across every question, so you know whether your personal name, your team, or neither is showing up when a seller in your farm area asks who to hire.
- What does it cost?
- Start with the free report: we run your farm area's seller and buyer questions across the major AI engines and show you who's being recommended today — including whether your name appears at all. Ongoing daily tracking starts at $49/month with no contracts. One extra listing pays for years of it; most agents run the free report first just to see who's currently winning their neighborhood.
