There’s a reason Forbes featured InboundREM as a pioneer expert in AI SEO for real estate agents.
We have the results to back it up.
During March 2026, Bret Wallace generated seven leads from InboundREM campaigns leading to over $100k in GCI and an 84X ROI for the month.
His RealtyRank AI subscription first billed in February 2026, so these results are immediate.
Three leads were recommendations from LLMs like ChatGPT and Grok in the wake of beginning a RealtyRank AI Campaign. These totaled $1.2 million in sales.
Three leads came from his InboundREM-built LeadMaster website. These totaled $1.65 million in sales.
The last was an organic Google lead which our LeadMaster SEO campaign also generated. This led to a $695,000 sale.
Below is the Google Sheet Bret used to track these leads.
In the weeks surrounding March, Bret was also able to track two more InboundREM-generated leads. One was another organic lead via Google Maps and the other was another AI-generated lead via ChatGPT recommendation.
Below you can find the total sales for these 9 leads at $4.4 million.
Lead Category | Source Attribution | Count | Property Value |
AI Guided | ChatGPT, Grok | 4 | $1,850,000 |
Direct Site AI | LeadMaster (Message Feature) | 3 | $1,400,000 |
Organic SEO | Google (Non-Paid) | 2 | $1,158,000 |
TOTAL | 9 | $4,408,000 |
For context, the average annual sales for realtors in Texas is around $1.3 million and the average annual earnings is around $81,000.
These nine inbound leads will generate around $132,000 in GCI. The seven inbound leads for March alone will generate $3.5 million in sales, leading to $105,000 in GCI.
Not only did Bret earn more in a single month than his average competitor does in an entire year, he did so via leads that his website and Google Business Profile generated passively.
AI-driven leads in particular are qualified, ready-to-convert leads who call him before any other real estate agent.
Metric | Calculation | Total |
Total Pending Volume | Sum of 9 active leads | $4,408,000 |
Average Deal Size | Total Volume / 9 | $489,777 |
Est. Commission (3%) | $4.408M × 0.03 | $132,240 |
The monthly cost for his SEO campaign and AI visibility campaign is $1250. That’s 1/84 of what he will earn from March leads.
For March 2026, Bret’s ROI is 84X.
To put it another way, his March 2026 earnings outstrip his entire seven year investment in InboundREM services, including the cost of his high-powered custom website build and 84 months of SEO campaigns.
Hyperlocal SEO Website Foundation
The foundation just mentioned is part of the recipe for Bret’s immediate and meteoric success with LLM recommendations.
Below you can read the extensive inbound traffic sent to his website. These visitors are high intent, primarily doing detailed research on moving to specific neighborhoods in his service areas.
Bret had already enjoyed a 10x ROI during COVID because of inbound leads from our real estate SEO services.
On the other hand, he hasn’t invested in our most aggressive SEO campaigns. In other words, there’s room for newcomers to significantly contract the time it takes to achieve the same results.
Still, you can see from the slides above that any LLM checking for local expertise for specific neighborhoods in Fort Bend, Texas, then Bret will appear as the foremost expert.

"Best Realtor" Across All Major LLMs
Now for the juicy LLM search results.
FastExpert lists over 500 active real estate agents for Fort Bend, Texas. There are well over 100 realtors with numerous sales in the last 3 years.
If you search for the best realtor in Fort Bend, Richmond, or Sugar Land, chances are that Bret will appear as the #1 recommendation.
I ran about 50 varied searches, and Bret was the top result for the majority.
That’s true for all his main service areas.
It’s true for all major LLMs.
It’s true if you’re located in Texas or another state.
Check the image slideshow below.
One wild thing about Bret’s success is that LLMs really shy away from giving definitive answers to subjective questions like “Who is the best?”.
If you study the responses, they often make caveats.
AND YET in the majority of cases, they still call Bret the clear #1 option. They devote 75% of the response to his strengths, essentially converting potential leads for him.
In the cases where AI mentions his competitors, they are often a footnote.
Another powerful win for Bret’s AI dominance is that LLMs will even include his phone number in responses where other agents do not receive the same special treatment.
This is primarily due to special code InboundREM places on his website for LLMs to read and reconvey.
Bret told us that one of his AI-generated leads had this exact situation, called him first, and was converted.

AI-Generated Lead Quality
One of the greatest aspects of leads driven by LLM recommendations is that they often come qualified and ready to convert.
Among our clients, Bret is far from alone in stating that the leads require exceptionally little work to convert.
I would have to say that when people reach out from AI platforms it’s as if they trust me implicity off the bat.Even in comparison to organic, SEO leads from finding my website or Google Business Profile--which are already excellent--the leads are even hotter.It’s like they trust AI’s overview more than their own manual search… “If AI thinks this guy is kosher, than who am I to disagree?”…
AI-driven prospects increasingly treat LLM recommendations, even for the biggest purchase of their lives, like a genie in the bottle.
The amount of implicit trust people have in ChatGPT or Claude to provide them with the best, personalized recommendation is astounding.
Besides the easy sales process, there are numerous benefits for agents and brokers who don’t have to spend months nurturing their prospects:
Reduced Customer Acquisition Cost: High-intent leads bypass expensive, multi-month nurture cycles and retargeting campaigns, resulting in a significantly higher return on marketing spend.
Maximized ROI: By bypassing the cost of long-term retargeting and drip campaigns, brokerages realize a significantly higher return on every marketing dollar spent.
Faster Revenue Velocity: Ready leads compress the traditional 12-month sales cycle into weeks, providing the immediate cash flow necessary for scaling and business stability.
Operational Focus: Agents spend their time on high-value closing activities and client consultations rather than the repetitive, low-conversion task of “checking in.”
Agent Retention for Small Brokerages: Providing high-intent leads creates a competitive advantage that attracts top-tier talent and prevents burnout by ensuring a consistent stream of commissions.
Predictable Growth: A pipeline of “ready” buyers and sellers allows for accurate financial forecasting, removing the guesswork from quarterly revenue goals.

Top Recommendation for High-Intent Searches

High-intent searches include:
- Best realtor for homebuyers
- Best realtor for home sellers

For example, prospects in his market who complain about their previous real estate agent being unresponsive or not knowledgable enough are very likely to see Bret as their top recommendation because we’ve positioned him as the solution.
