Caravan Confessions

A comedy podcast series made by Eric Simon of The Broke Agent, Caravan Confessions brings in stories of the best (and the worst) times in real estate agents’ daily lives on the job. Eric Simon states on his website that he began his Broke Agent brand and podcast to fill a void he perceived in media about real estate, which he believed “lacked edge, authenticity, and most importantly humor.” On Caravan Confessions he interviews friends and colleagues, collecting their favorite memories of goofy clients and absurd situations over their years of work. 

Simon is a classically charismatic real estate agent who forms an easy, natural chemistry with his guests. Unfortunately, the most recent episode was posted over two years ago, so we likely won’t be seeing much more of Confessions any time soon. Still, Soundcloud has an archive of the podcast’s 12 hour-long episodes that are sure to brighten your day and make you think, “that has totally happened to me.” You can learn more about Eric and his brand over on The Broke Agent website where he posts even more humorous real estate-based content or click here to stream his podcast over Soundcloud.

What makes a good real estate podcast? Well, the answer to that question all depends on you and what you want out of a podcast. For us, every good real estate podcast should include a few basic qualities: 

• it comes from real, successful people in the industry
• it won’t withhold all the information you want behind a paywall
• it will hold your attention with fun, dynamic hosts
• it will make you feel like part of a community of professionals
  

For us, these five podcasts check all the boxes. They come from genuine individuals who are passionate about what they do and hope to offer what they know to enrich the industry and raise people up in achieving their dreams. For these people, real estate is a career that has brought them fulfillment, and they hope to share what they can with others.

And hey, we get it. Not every podcast is for everyone. That’s why we’ve intentionally covered a wide range of topics, styles, and genres in this specially curated list. The perfect podcast has a host you connect with delivering content you need. That description will vary for every individual, especially in an industry like real estate that is so dependent on professionals with unique, vibrant personalities. For some of us, that content-we-need is right now, right here advice. For others, it’s just a good chuckle with somebody who gets it. 

Remember that statistic from earlier? There are more than 1.3 million real estate agents in the United States. That may sound scary. We feel it’s quite a good thing. It means that there’s a strong, ambitious community of passionate professionals in this industry. Chances are, we’ve got a lot to learn from each other when we take the time to stop and listen. So let’s get listening, and let’s get to work!
