Harris Real Estate Daily

By Tim & Julie Harris · September 24, 2025

🌘 Good evening, {{first_name|agents}}! Podcasting isn’t just for celebrities and tech gurus anymore.

It has matured into a mainstream media channel and the latest numbers show why it could be one of the smartest brand-building tools for real estate agents today.

1. 📈 Podcasting by the Numbers

  • 4.5 million podcasts exist worldwide, with nearly 500,000 new shows launched in the past 3 months.

  • 584 million people around the globe now listen to podcasts (up almost 7% year-over-year).

  • In the U.S., 158 million people — that’s more than half the population — are monthly podcast listeners.

  • Listeners dedicate an average of 7 hours per week to podcasts, often while commuting, working out, or driving.

For a real estate agent, that means your ideal clients are already carving out time for long-form audio (and increasingly video) content.

2. 🎥 The Rise of Video Podcasts

One of the biggest shifts in 2025: people don’t just want to listen; they want to watch.

  • 46% of U.S. listeners now prefer podcasts they can watch, compared to 42% who prefer audio-only.

  • YouTube has emerged as the #1 podcast platform in the U.S., outranking both Spotify and Apple Podcasts.

👉 Translation for agents: if you’re already comfortable creating short-form video for Instagram or TikTok, repurposing that skill into a video podcast on YouTube can double your reach.

It builds familiarity, trust, and authority — exactly what local buyers and sellers need to see from you.

3. 🤝 Why Podcasts Build Trust Faster

  • 64% of listeners say they consider podcast hosts “very trustworthy.”

  • 81% of people say they pay more attention to podcast ads than ads on radio, TV, or social media.

Trust is the currency of real estate. A podcast allows your audience to hear your voice, your stories, your advice — week after week.

Over time, this familiarity translates into real business: more listings, more referrals, and more repeat clients.

4. 🛠️ How Agents Can Leverage a Podcast

1. Local Market Authority

Share weekly market updates, neighborhood spotlights, or interviews with local business owners. This positions you as the go-to expert in your community.

2. Relationship Building at Scale

Instead of one-to-one coffee meetings, a podcast lets you build rapport one-to-many — with hundreds (or thousands) of potential clients at once.

3. Content Flywheel

Each episode can be repurposed into:

  • Blog posts for SEO

  • Clips for social media

  • Email content for your database

That’s a huge return on one recording session.

5. 🎯 Keep It Simple (and Consistent)

  • Episode length sweet spot: 20–40 minutes (long enough to add value, short enough to hold attention).

  • Frequency: Weekly or every other week. Consistency matters more than perfection.

  • Format ideas: Solo market updates, interviews with clients or local leaders, or panel discussions with other agents.

Don’t overcomplicate it. The most successful shows focus on delivering value and staying consistent.

6. ⚖️ Apple vs Spotify: Does It Matter?

Here’s a fun fact: Apple Podcasts still accounts for ~70% of global podcast downloads, while Spotify has only about 9%. Yet Spotify often leads in streaming reach, especially for younger listeners.

For you, the agent-podcaster, this means one thing: don’t pick one platform.

Publish everywhere — Apple, Spotify, and YouTube — so your audience can find you wherever they already spend their time.

💡 Bottom Line for Agents

Podcasting in 2025 isn’t a fad. It’s a proven trust-building platform that helps you:

  • Stand out in a crowded market

  • Position yourself as the local authority

  • Build relationships at scale

  • Generate consistent inbound leads

And unlike chasing social media algorithms, your podcast is an asset you own. Each episode is evergreen content that works for you long after you hit “publish.”

👉 If you’ve been thinking about starting a podcast, the data makes the case clear: 2025 is the year to do it.
