If you’re a first-time home seller, you may have many questions about the process: What do I need to do to prepare my house for sale? How do I determine the list price? How long will it take to sell? What’s the best way to navigate multiple offers? On the other hand, if you’re a returning seller, you may know the answers to most of those questions but still be looking for other types of information, such as current market trends, real estate news or even fresh tips on how to effectively prepare and market your house.
Real estate podcasts are a great resource for gaining this information efficiently and effectively. They’re low-cost (sometimes even free!) and can be listened to while performing other tasks—commuting, exercising, doing the dishes, etc. While they may not offer advice that pertains to your specific situation (that’s what your real estate agent, loan officer, financial advisor and other professionals are for!), they can provide a foundation of potentially relevant knowledge to help you along your selling journey.
As you might be aware, the podcast market is quite saturated. So, how do you parse through the expanse of available shows to find applicable real estate podcasts?
We’re here to help! We’ve compiled a few popular shows that cover topics ranging from housing market trends and real estate news to decluttering your home and figuring out how to list it.
Note: these podcasts are mainly infotainment. None of these programs should be used as a substitute for professional advice! The opinions and ideas presented belong solely to the show creators and publishers, who are not affiliated with Richmond American Homes.
