Commercial Real Estate: AI Visibility Ranking

Software for commercial real estate covering property management, leasing, deals, and portfolio operations. Right now, MRI Software is the brand AI assistants recommend most, with a Visibility Score of 43 and the #1 spot in 8% of answers. Head-to-head: MRI Software vs Yardi Voyager →

These rankings are measured from what the three models know from training, not a live web search. When the models DO search the web, see which sources they cite. Methodology.

MRI Software leads Commercial Real Estate but rivals are closing.

MRI Software tops the index at 43 points and appears in 49% of answers, yet its margin over Yardi Voyager is only 10 points, leaving real room for a second brand to challenge. Yardi is the most-chosen first pick at 31%, which means AI models reach for it when specificity matters even though MRI gets mentioned more often overall. CoStar's gap between Claude (39) and ChatGPT (25) shows how unevenly distributed AI visibility can be, and any brand in this field that neglects one model's training signals risks losing ground fast.

The ± under each score is the reliability band: how much the number would move if we re-ran the identical measurement. It is tight because each prompt is sampled multiple times. It is not the same as how much the ranking depends on which prompts we ask — a separate, wider figure shown on hover.

Just below the cutoff: Juniper Square (6.7), CommercialEdge (6.4), Microsoft Entra ID (5.4), Okta (5.1), RealPage (4.9). 109 brands were scored in this category; the leaderboard shows the top 15.

Visibility Score: position-weighted presence across all measured answers, 0 to 100. A score of 100 means the brand was the first recommendation in every answer. Every point in a trend line is a live monthly measurement; there is no modeled or backfilled history. Full methodology.

Openness 57/100: the share of this category's recommendation weight not held by the leader.
