What ChatGPT, Gemini & Perplexity say about Miami Beach real estate agents
When a buyer types "who are the best real estate agents in Miami Beach?" into ChatGPT, Gemini, or Perplexity, which agents get named? We asked all three platforms directly in July 2026 and recorded every agent each one returned. This is our first Florida market, and it surfaced something worth knowing before you trust any AI recommendation at face value.

Which Miami Beach agents did AI name?
Four agents — Dora Puig, Oliver Davis, Richard Corrales, and Teodoro Palmieri — were named by all three platforms. Below is every agent we recorded who was named by two or more platforms.

|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Dora Puig (Luxe Living Realty) | ChatGPT Gemini Perplexity | 3 |
| 2 | Oliver Davis (Live Work Play Miami Group) | ChatGPT Gemini Perplexity | 3 |
| 3 | Richard Corrales (Silverleaf Realty Group) | ChatGPT Gemini Perplexity | 3 |
| 4 | Teodoro Palmieri (Elite Ocean View Realty) | ChatGPT Gemini Perplexity | 3 |

| 7 | Dominick Martinez | ChatGPT Gemini | 2 |
| 8 | Mike Ramos (Momentum Realty) | ChatGPT Gemini | 2 |
| 9 | Nancy Batchelor (Nancy Batchelor Team, Compass) | ChatGPT Perplexity | 2 |
| 10 | Wesley Ulloa (LUXE Properties) | ChatGPT Gemini | 2 |
| 11 | Rafael Arias (ONE Sotheby's International Realty) | ChatGPT Perplexity | 2 |
| 12 | Nelson Gonzalez (Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices EWM) | ChatGPT Perplexity | 2 |
| 13 | Darin Tansey * | ChatGPT Perplexity | 2 |
This is the full list of agents named by two or more platforms — 64 more were named by exactly one platform, mostly ChatGPT alone. See the methodology note for an important caveat on the name flagged with *.
One of the 13 agents named by multiple platforms, Darin Tansey, passed away in September 2025 according to public reporting — nearly a year before this July 2026 research pass. Both ChatGPT and Perplexity still named him as if he were an active, current recommendation. This is the clearest evidence we've found that AI-generated recommendations are not automatically verified against real-world current events.
Platform-by-platform breakdown
The same pattern we've seen in every market: ChatGPT returns by far the longest, most inclusive list, Gemini the shortest and most selective, and Perplexity lands in between. Gemini's small list of 7 names overlapped heavily with the other two platforms — all 4 of the all-three-platform agents also appear in Gemini's list.
This reflects a single research pass conducted in July 2026, where we asked ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity directly for real estate agent recommendations in Miami Beach, FL, and recorded every name each platform returned. It is a point-in-time snapshot, not a continuously updated feed.
Darin Tansey (flagged with * above) was a real, well-documented Miami Beach luxury agent who, according to public reporting including a Real Deal obituary, passed away in September 2025. Both ChatGPT and Perplexity named him in our July 2026 research as though he were a current, active recommendation. We're leaving the name in rather than quietly dropping it — it's important, verifiable evidence that an AI naming someone is not confirmation that person is still practicing, and buyers relying on AI recommendations should independently confirm an agent's current status.
Two entries returned by the platforms were excluded from our counts: "Ion Docs" (a real estate ranking website, not a person) and "Douglas Elliman" (a large national brokerage firm cited on its own, not a specific individual agent or boutique team).

Why AI recommendations matter for Miami Beach agents
Buyers are increasingly starting their agent search by asking AI rather than typing into Google. The Darin Tansey finding cuts both ways: it's a real risk for buyers who trust an AI answer without checking further, but it's also a reminder for active agents that staying visible and current in your own online presence is what keeps AI recommendations accurate and keeps you distinguishable from names AI is still citing out of habit.

Frequently asked questions
Is this list complete?
No. This reflects only the agents named in response to the specific prompts we ran across three platforms during one research pass in July 2026. Miami Beach has many more licensed agents than the 77 we recorded — most simply weren't named by any platform when we asked. Absence from this list doesn't mean an agent has no AI visibility at all; it means they weren't surfaced by these particular queries at this particular time.
Does AI know when an agent is no longer active?
Not reliably. One agent named in our Miami Beach research, Darin Tansey, passed away in September 2025 according to public reporting — but AI platforms still named him in July 2026 as if he were an active recommendation. This is a real limitation: AI systems can lag well behind current events, and a name appearing in an AI answer is not confirmation that the person is still practicing.
How often does AI change which Miami Beach agents it names?
AI recommendations are not static. ChatGPT and Perplexity both use live web search, meaning their answers reflect current online information — though as our Darin Tansey finding shows, "current" can still lag reality. An agent who builds new reviews, earns media coverage, or improves their directory presence can move up in AI recommendations over time. We plan to re-run this research periodically.
What is GEO (Generative Engine Optimization)?
GEO stands for Generative Engine Optimization — the practice of building your online presence so that AI systems can confidently identify, describe, and recommend you. It's the AI equivalent of SEO. For Miami Beach real estate agents, GEO means ensuring that your name, city, specialties, and reputation signals are clear and consistent across every platform AI systems reference.
Can any Miami Beach agent improve their AI visibility?
Yes. AI visibility is not determined by seniority or transaction volume — it's determined by the quality and consistency of your public online signals. Agents who start working on GEO now have a meaningful first-mover advantage, since most agents in this market have no AI visibility strategy at all.
