Best Real Estate Podcast Personalities and What to Borrow From Each

The best real estate podcast personalities for agents to study in October 2026 are Tom Ferry, D.J. Paris, Brian Buffini, Tim and Julie Harris, and Dustin Brohm. All five were still publishing agent-focused shows on Apple Podcasts on 21 October. Each owns a clear style: coach, interviewer, storyteller, daily trainer or marketer. Study the style, not the fame.

Most “best real estate podcasts” lists skip a basic check: is the show still running? Several well-known hosts have slowed down or stopped. The list below is sorted by that check first. If you’re thinking about your own show, the last two sections turn each host’s style into a choice you can make this week.

How were these real estate podcast personalities picked?

A real estate podcast personality made this list only if three things were true on 21 October 2026. We could confirm the host and show on Apple Podcasts. The show’s recent episodes speak to working agents (or, for two picks, to the investor clients agents serve). And the host’s own voice drives the show, rather than a rotating cast or a news feed.

We didn’t rank by downloads. Apple Podcasts shows listener analytics in the dashboard for the shows you manage, not on public show pages, so any list that claims to know another show’s numbers is guessing. We also left out anyone whose latest episode we couldn’t see.

Who are the best real estate podcast personalities right now?

The table below shows each active host, their show, the style they’re known for and what you can borrow from them. “Latest episode seen” is what Apple Podcasts showed on 21 October 2026.

Host	Show	Style	Latest episode seen	What to borrow
Tom Ferry	The Tom Ferry Podcast Experience	Coach	1 Oct 2026	One problem per episode, named in the title
D.J. Paris	Keeping It Real	Interviewer	Within a day of 21 Oct	Recurring segments that guests can join

Dave Meyer and Henry Washington	BiggerPockets Real Estate Podcast	Investor educator	Within a day of 21 Oct	Market updates as a recurring format

Tom Ferry: the coach

The Tom Ferry Podcast Experience is a coaching show aimed squarely at agents. Recent episodes tackle one problem each, such as turning the low-rate objection into a listing opportunity or building a brand that feels authentic. Your takeaway is focus. One episode, one problem, and a title that says which problem.

D.J. Paris: the interviewer

D.J. Paris hosts Keeping It Real, which interviews top-producing agents and brokers about how they work. The show also runs named segments, such as The YouTube Lab and a Monday Market Minute. Segments make a show easier to plan. They also give a guest a clear slot to fill, which helps when you invite people.

Brian Buffini: the storyteller

The Brian Buffini Show is a weekly business and personal growth show. Brian mixes solo episodes with conversations, and recent titles lean on big questions like “Will it matter in 5 years?” Borrow the mix. A short solo episode between interviews keeps your feed alive in a week when a guest cancels.

Tim and Julie Harris: the daily trainers

Tim and Julie Harris publish Real Estate Coaching Radio as a daily show for agents and brokers. Episodes cover listings, scripts, negotiation and market questions, often answering listeners directly. You don’t need a daily show. You can steal the habit of keeping a running list of client and listener questions, because each one is an episode.

Dustin Brohm: the marketer

Dustin Brohm hosts the weekly Massive Agent Podcast for agents and loan officers who want a business that scales. Recent titles like “The 4 Types of Content That Actually Attract Listings” promise one specific result. That’s the habit to copy when you name episodes.

Dave Meyer and Henry Washington: the investor educators

The BiggerPockets Real Estate Podcast, now hosted by Dave Meyer and Henry Washington, teaches investing rather than agent skills. Its sister show, Real Estate Rookie, is hosted by Ashley Kehr and Tony J. Robinson and covers beginner investors. Both are worth your time only if investors are a real part of your client base. Their monthly housing market updates are a format any local agent can scale down to one town.

Which well-known real estate podcasts have gone quiet?

Several real estate podcasts that still appear on “best of” lists had no new regular episodes recently when we checked. That doesn’t make their archives worthless. It does mean you shouldn’t model a new show on a host who stopped.

The table shows what Apple Podcasts listed on 21 October 2026.

Host	Show	Status on 21 Oct 2026
Aaron Amuchastegui	Real Estate Rockstars	Latest episode 21 May 2026
Ethan Beute	Real Estate Team OS (Follow Up Boss)	Latest episode 28 July 2026, episode 118
Bill Risser	The Real Estate Sessions	Recent releases are bonus “Rewind” replays
Kevin Ward	YES Talk	Latest episode 10 November 2023

Shows pause for good reasons: a new business, a sale, a format change. For you, the point is simpler. Consistency is the trait that separates the hosts in the first table from the hosts in this one.

What makes a real estate podcast personality worth copying?

A real estate podcast personality is worth copying when the style is clear, repeatable and fits the host’s real job. Fame isn’t the test. Every active host above built a format they can run every week without reinventing it.

Your situation is different from theirs in one big way. Tom Ferry and Brian Buffini sell coaching to a national audience of agents, so their shows need a large audience. A working agent’s show doesn’t. Your podcast is a structured reason to have a real conversation with someone you want to know: a lender, a builder, a top agent in another market, a past client. The recording becomes your content. The relationship becomes the business.

So borrow the style, then shrink the ambition to fit. You need a format you can repeat, a few guests a month who matter to your business, and the discipline to keep going. How Many Listeners Does a Real Estate Podcast Need? covers why a small, local audience is enough.

Which host style should you borrow for your own podcast?

Choose the host style that matches how you already talk to clients. If you’re best one-on-one, interview. Love teaching? Coach. Know your town better than anyone? Report on it.

That figure sums up the trade-offs. Two more points help you decide:

• The interviewer style is the easiest start. The guest carries half the talking, and every episode builds a relationship. The trade-offs between formats are covered in solo vs interview vs co-hosted podcasts for realtors.
• The coach and storyteller styles need material. You’ll run out of solo topics fast unless you have a deep bank of stories and opinions.

If the camera is what holds you back, an interview show also takes the pressure off. Camera-shy realtors can still podcast with a format built around the guest.

Where does the Icons of Real Estate Podcast fit?

The Icons of Real Estate Podcast is our own show, so judge it the same way as the others. It’s an interview show with a rotating bench of hosts: Tomás Fonseca, Jim Remley, Robert Kennedy III and JMan Maneiro. It has published 600+ episodes on Apple Podcasts, and over 600 top-producing agents have been featured as guests.

Guesting on the show is free, and you can apply on the Icons of Real Estate Podcast page. Being a guest on someone else’s show is a low-risk way to find out whether you enjoy the conversation before you host your own.

Next step

Pick one host from the first table and listen to three recent episodes with a notepad. Write down the format, the segment names and how titles are worded. Then sketch your own first five episodes in that style. The step-by-step guide to starting a real estate podcast covers the rest. If you’d rather have the cover art, intro and feed set up for you, that’s what the Launchpad does.
