Frequently Asked Questions
About the Service
Q: What exactly does Icons of Real Estate do?
We’re the #1 Real Estate Podcast Network. We do two things: (1) produce podcasts for real estate professionals end-to-end, and (2) book real estate pros as guests on top industry podcasts through our HUB platform and Concierge service.
Q: Who do you work with?
Top-producing agents, team leaders, brokerages, investors, and real estate entrepreneurs. Our clients span residential, commercial, luxury, investing, and property management.
Q: Do I need any podcast experience or equipment?
No experience needed — we handle strategy, production, editing, and publishing. Recording is done remotely over Zoom. We recommend a quiet space, a decent microphone (or good built-in audio), headphones, and good lighting; we walk you through a tech check before recording.
Production Clients
Q: How long does it take to launch my podcast?
Our target is 6 weeks from onboarding to launch.
Q: How often will episodes come out?
We offer weekly and bi-weekly packages.
Q: Do I get to approve content before it goes live?
Yes. All podcast materials are prepared ahead of time (target: two weeks before airing) and sent to you for review and approval before publishing.
Q: Who books my guests?
We do. On your Discovery Call we define your ideal guest avatar, and our outreach team handles list building, booking, and coordination.
Q: Where will my podcast be published?
Everywhere your audience is: YouTube plus all major podcast platforms including Spotify and Apple Podcasts.
Q: What do you do with each episode besides publishing it?
We repurpose it into social media content (reels, snippets, quote cards), publish an SEO-optimized blog post on your website, and can place guest articles for additional reach.
