#3 avg. position

+22 ahead of Zendesk

Follow Up Boss leads the question on best customer support software for real estate teams, appearing in 83% of answers with a slot score of 69 — more than 20 points clear of any rival.

Its lead is consistent across all three models, each mentioning it at least 3 times, and the answers repeatedly cite speed-to-lead workflows and multi-source lead consolidation as the reasons it fits real estate teams specifically rather than generic support use cases. Zendesk and Freshdesk show up broadly — 75% and 67% of answers respectively — but land further down the average position rankings, treated more as general-purpose fallbacks than real estate fits. The slot is contested rather than owned, meaning Follow Up Boss holds a clear lead but has not yet locked up enough position-weighted weight to make this question its own, which leaves room for a challenger with stronger real estate positioning to chip away.

How this was measured

ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini each answered this question in two phrasings, several times each, with live web access and citations: the closest API-reachable version of the real assistant experience (no personalization or account memory, which no vendor can provide). Model-memory answers (no web) are measured separately and shown above as a comparison surface. A brand counts once per answer that recommends it. The exact questions:

"What's the best customer support software for a real estate team?"
"We're a residential real estate brokerage with 30 agents. Which customer support software should we use?"
