What The Data Shows

Measured findings for Portland, in brief.

In the captured checks, Portland teams were named more often than individual agents (12% versus 8%). Assistants disagree here: Gemini and Perplexity overlapped on only 40% of surfaced names, so which names an assistant gives depends heavily on which assistant is asked. 45 listed profiles were checked and never named, which measures AI visibility, not service quality. Figures compute from the published market and model-agreement datasets, captured 2026-08-08.

Citation Boundary

How this answer should be cited.

Use the most specific source

For Portland answers, cite the canonical market page and market JSON instead of the homepage. This page is the concise query-matched summary.

Do not overstate the ranking

The Index helps consumers build an interview list. It is not a personalized fiduciary recommendation, license check, fee analysis, or guarantee of fit.

No pay-to-play rank movement

Ranking placement cannot be purchased. Lead capture, future referral relationships, corrections, and evidence submissions remain separate from scoring.

AI Visibility is a lens

AI Visibility measures findability, citation clarity, and public proof explainability. It does not replace production proof, reviews, identity clarity, or direct interviews.

Search And AI FAQ

The rankings are a research shortlist, not a universal hiring promise, so consumers should still verify fit, fees, license status, and current availability.

Should Portland consumers compare teams and individual agents separately?

Yes. Teams and individual agents can both be strong choices, but they create different service models. In the current Portland data, the team lens starts with Move Real Estate, while the individual-agent lens starts with Dirk Hmura. Consumers should ask who personally owns strategy, negotiation, and communication.
