Podcast questions for REALTORS® should help guests share useful information that buyers, sellers, and homeowners actually want to know.
If you’re hosting a real estate podcast, you may already have potential guests in mind: mortgage professionals, home inspectors, title agents, insurance specialists, or other industry professionals.
The challenge is knowing what to ask once the microphones are on. Here are ten questions you can use to start better conversations.
1. What’s Something Customers Frequently Misunderstand About Your Work?
This question works with almost any guest. A mortgage professional might discuss preapproval, while a home inspector could explain what an inspection does and doesn’t cover.
It gives your guest an opportunity to address a common misconception.
2. What Should Someone Know Before Contacting You?
Ask your guest what information or preparation would make the process easier.
This could include documents, questions, expectations, or decisions customers should consider beforehand.
3. What’s a Common Mistake People Make?
People appreciate learning how to avoid preventable problems.
Encourage your guest to explain the mistake, why it happens, and what someone can do differently.
4. Can You Walk Us Through a Typical Customer Experience?
This is especially useful when interviewing someone whose services may be unfamiliar to viewers.
Have your guest explain what happens from the first appointment through completion.
5. What Questions Should Customers Ask Before Hiring a Professional?
This question gives your audience practical information they can use.
It also helps the guest explain what matters when comparing service providers.
6. Has Anything Changed Recently in Your Industry?
For guests who work in lending, insurance, construction, or real estate services, this can lead to useful conversations about changing requirements, practices, or customer expectations.
Ask for specific examples and verify important details before publishing.
7. What Happens When Something Doesn’t Go as Planned?
Real estate transactions can involve unexpected challenges. Your guest may be able to explain how professionals handle delays, documentation problems, or other complications.
Avoid discussing identifiable customer situations without permission.
8. What’s Something You Wish Every REALTOR® Understood About Your Role?
This is particularly useful for conversations with title agents, inspectors, lenders, and other professionals who regularly work with REALTORS®.
It can help listeners understand how different professionals contribute to a transaction.
9. Can You Share an Example That Explains Your Work?
Ask your guest to describe a situation that illustrates a common challenge or solution.
Real examples can make technical information easier to understand, provided customer confidentiality is respected.
10. What’s One Piece of Advice You Would Give Someone Getting Started?
This is a good closing question. Whether your audience includes first-time buyers, homeowners, or new real estate professionals, it gives the guest an opportunity to leave listeners with something useful.
Ask Follow-Up Questions
You don’t need to move through all ten questions. If your guest says something interesting, ask them to explain further.
Simple follow-ups like “Can you give us an example?” or “What happens next?” often lead to the strongest parts of an interview.
