In Iowa, the GeoGenius Brokerage Rankings cover 1 metro (Des Moines, IA) where ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Grok have named 34 real estate agents. Grouped by the core brokerage brand those agents work for, RE/MAX has the most named agents in the state (14 across 1 metro), followed by Keller Williams (3) and Pennie Carroll & Associates Real Estate (1).

How this ranking is built
GeoGenius asks ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Grok the questions a buyer or seller would ask about each metro and records every agent each engine names. Each named agent's brokerage is resolved to its core brand and the brands are ranked by named agents, then distinct responses, then distinct engines. The method mirrors our published 36-market study at https://geogenius.ai/ai-report.
