Where they disagree
The behaviors where the choice of model changes the answer.
The divergence index for this study is 26.7 points — the average distance between the most and least likely model across the coded behaviors. The gaps below are where which assistant a luxury realtor buyer happens to ask matters most:
- Recommends hiring a professional: from 53.3% (Claude) to 86.7% (ChatGPT) — a 33-point spread.
- Mentions local proximity: from 20% (Gemini) to 53.3% (Claude) — a 33-point spread.
- Asks a clarifying question: from 0% (Gemini) to 33.3% (Claude) — a 33-point spread.
- Gives selection criteria: from 26.7% (Claude) to 46.7% (Gemini) — a 20-point spread.
- Warns about red flags or scams: from 13.3% (Gemini) to 33.3% (ChatGPT) — a 20-point spread.
The widest single gap — recommends hiring a professional, 33 points — means a luxury realtor buyer can receive materially different guidance on the same question depending only on which assistant they happen to open, so any visibility strategy built on a single model's behavior describes only part of the luxury realtor market.

Trust signals
How well the models protect the luxury realtor buyer.
Beyond whether to hire, the rubric codes how carefully each assistant protects the luxury realtor buyer once a decision is made. Telling the buyer to check reviews or ratings appeared in 6.7% of answers on average. Verifying credentials or certifications appeared in 22.2%. Warning about red flags or scams appeared in 26.6%.

The single least-reproduced protective signal for luxury realtor is "tells the buyer to check reviews" at 6.7% on average — the clearest opening for content that supplies it, since the models are not yet reliably surfacing that guidance on their own.
Referral behavior
Do AI models name Luxury Realtor providers?
For service providers the decisive question is whether these systems name anyone at all. Across 45 luxury realtor answers, a specific provider was named in 28.9% of responses on average — roughly 0.9 distinct providers per answer. In practice the assistants behave far more as an explanatory layer than as a referral engine for luxury realtor: visibility comes from being the reasoning a model reproduces, not from being the named recommendation.

How to read this
A note on the numbers.
A percentage here is the share of a model's 15 answers in which the behavior appeared at least once — not a confidence score. Because each model answered every question exactly once on 2026-07-04, the figures describe this specific luxury realtor question set and snapshot rather than a general prior. The full protocol and coding rubric are documented in the study methodology.
