How do real estate agents get found in ChatGPT answers?
Real estate agents get found in AI search by answering their clients’ most common questions in short YouTube videos, writing the answer into each video’s description, and embedding every video in a specific, local blog post with the answer at the top. Jason Pantana explains that AI tools search the web first and then summarize whoever explained the topic best, so the agent with the clearest local answer becomes the source.
Start with the 10 questions you field every week. Those are likely the exact prompts your clients are typing into ChatGPT right now.
Jason Pantana, co-founder of Ai Marketing Academy (AiM), puts the problem plainly: “Every question your client asks AI, you’ve already answered out loud. You’re just not getting the credit for it.”
Buyers and sellers aren’t “old school Googling” anymore, he says. They’re asking AI. If your best answers only live in phone calls and showings, AI has nothing of yours to pull from, and another agent’s explanation gets used instead.
How does ChatGPT decide whose answer to use?
It searches the web first, then builds its answer from whoever explained the topic best. In Jason’s words, “AI doesn’t answer on its own. It does a web search first, and then it infers the answer and summarizes it.”
That changes what marketing means for you. AI isn’t inventing local advice out of thin air. It’s reading what’s already published and repeating the clearest version it finds. When you publish a clear, local answer, you give it something to repeat. Pantana’s rule of thumb: “the agent who answers the question becomes the answer.”

Which client questions should you answer first?
Answer the ones you already hear every week. Pantana’s bet is that your 10 most common questions are the exact prompts your clients are typing into ChatGPT.
Here are the kinds of prompts Jason shows as examples:
- “Is now a good time to sell in Boise?”
- “What are closing costs on a million dollar home in Atlanta?”
- “How much income do I need to buy a home in Los Angeles County?”
- “Should I buy a home now or wait for interest rates to come down?”
- “What are the best neighborhoods in Los Angeles County for my budget?”
- “How do I buy my first home in California?”
Swap in your own city, county, and price points. An easy way to build your list is to jot down every question that comes up on calls and at showings for one week. You’ll likely see the same handful repeat. Those repeats are your first videos.
How do you turn each answer into a blog post AI can find?
Put the same answer in three places: the video, the YouTube description, and a blog post on your own website. Here’s the sequence Jason lays out:
- Record a short YouTube video answering one question.
- Write the answer directly into the YouTube description, not just a title and hashtags.
- Embed that video in a blog post on your website.
- Put the answer at the very top of the page in just a few lines of text.
- Make it specific and local. One topic per post, tied to your area.
The repurposing step is where most agents stall. Recording is quick, but writing a post for every video adds up. Jason notes that AiM built an AI agent for that part: it finds the video, embeds it, writes the post, and saves the draft directly into your blog. Whether you write the posts yourself or let AI draft them, read every one before it goes live.
The payoff is the part agents feel most. Once your answers are published, you get found by buyers and sellers asking AI those questions while you’re out showing houses.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are buyers and sellers really asking ChatGPT real estate questions?
Jason Pantana says yes. Buyers and sellers aren’t doing old-school Google searches as much; they’re asking AI questions like whether now is a good time to sell or what closing costs run in their city.
What should go in the YouTube video description?
Put the answer to the question directly in the description. That way the written answer sits right alongside the video instead of living only in what you said on camera.
Why embed the video in a blog post on an agent’s website?
AI searches the web before it answers, so a blog post gives it a clear, written version of your answer on your own site. Pantana recommends putting the answer at the very top of the page in a few lines and keeping the post specific to the topic and local to your area.
Can AI turn YouTube videos into blog posts automatically?
Yes. Ai Marketing Academy built an AI agent that finds your video, embeds it, writes the blog post, and saves the draft directly into your blog. Review each draft before publishing.
