Best Real Estate YouTube Channels for Agents and Investors

By Kris Reid ·Updated

The best real estate YouTube channels in 2026 depend on who you are. Agents get the most from Tom Ferry, Ricky Carruth, Loida Velasquez, Katie Lance and local-market channels like Ken Pozek. Investors should watch BiggerPockets, Real Estate Rookie, Ken McElroy and Flipping Mastery TV. For tax questions, Hall CPA and Mark J Kohler. We checked every channel on October 9, 2026.

The real estate YouTube channels worth watching are the ones that are still posting and match what you need to learn. We visited each channel page on October 9, 2026 and recorded its subscriber count and whether it had a Podcasts tab (meaning it publishes podcast playlists on YouTube). Subscriber counts change daily; treat them as a snapshot.

What are the best YouTube channels for real estate agents?

The best YouTube channels for real estate agents teach you how to win listings and talk to clients, not how to buy rentals. Most “best real estate channel” lists are investor lists. These six are for people who sell homes for a living.

Tom Ferry

Tom Ferry runs a large real estate coaching company, and the channel reflects it: listing objections, personal branding and social media systems. Recent uploads covered turning the low-rate objection into a listing opportunity and a social media blueprint for agents. Start here if you want structure.

Ricky Carruth

Ricky Carruth’s channel description says he has coached more than 100,000 agents since 2016. The content is blunt and aimed at agents who aren’t closing enough yet, with titles about listings that don’t close and whether top-producer life is worth it.

Loida Velasquez

Loida Velasquez focuses on prospecting, lead generation and what to say. Her recent videos include scripts for sellers who want to wait until after the holidays. She posts several times a week, so there is always something current.

Katie Lance

Katie Lance teaches social media for agents in short, practical videos: Instagram carousels, what every Reel needs, and how to use AI without losing your own voice. Smaller channel, very tactical.

SERHANT.

The SERHANT. brokerage channel posts property tours almost daily, all titled “INSIDE a [description] | SERHANT. Tour.” Watch it as a case study in listing video and repeatable titles, then use our listing video shot list and cost guide to plan your own. We break that formula down in our real estate ad examples.

Ken Pozek

Ken Pozek is an Orlando agent whose channel covers Orlando homes, builders, theme parks and local news, with more than 770 videos. Videos like a ranking of every Orlando builder in 2026 show how a local agent can own relocation searches in one metro.

What are the best real estate investing YouTube channels?

The best real estate investing YouTube channels combine deal analysis with honest talk about risk. These seven cover rentals, flips, commercial property and the wider market.

  • BiggerPockets. The best-known channel built around rental investing. Hosts Dave Meyer and Henry Washington cover rental strategy and interview everyday investors. Its podcast episodes are on YouTube.
  • Real Estate Rookie. BiggerPockets’ beginner channel, hosted by Ashley Kehr and Tony J. Robinson, with deal breakdowns and investor interviews.
  • Ken McElroy. Multifamily investor and author. Recent videos lean toward debt, borrowing strategy and market calls.
  • Graham Stephan. The biggest channel on the list, now mostly personal finance and housing market commentary rather than how-to investing.
  • Meet Kevin. Daily market, economic and political commentary with some real estate. Useful for market news; expect strong opinions.
  • Flipping Mastery TV. Wholesaling, fix-and-flip and land flipping, with more than 2,500 videos.
  • Best Ever CRE. Small subscriber count, but the commercial real estate interviews are frequent and specific (self-storage, manufactured housing, small multifamily).

For tax, Hall CPA’s Tax Smart Real Estate Investors covers real estate accounting and tax issues such as short-term rental occupancy tax, and Mark J Kohler covers tax and legal structure for business owners and investors. Neither replaces your own CPA.

Which channels are best for beginners?

The best channels for beginners are Real Estate Rookie for investors and Ricky Carruth or Loida Velasquez for new agents. All three explain the basics without assuming you already know the vocabulary, and all three post often enough that the advice reflects the current market.

Why do so many real estate channels publish podcasts?

Real estate channels publish podcasts on YouTube because that is where a large share of podcast audiences now watch. YouTube said in February 2025 that it had more than 1 billion monthly active viewers of podcast content (YouTube Official Blog). The Infinite Dial 2026 found that 84% of Americans 12 and older use YouTube monthly, and 57% have both listened to and watched a podcast (SSRS and Edison Research, March 2026). We track the rest of the numbers on YouTube, Spotify and who watches in our video podcast statistics.

Fourteen of the 16 channels above have a Podcasts tab. For an agent, a video podcast does two jobs at once: it gives you long-form content for YouTube search and clips for social. If you are thinking about one, start with our guide to YouTube SEO for real estate video podcasts and the broader podcast SEO guide for real estate agents. If you’d rather test the format as a guest first, the ICONS of Real Estate Podcast is free to guest on.

A disclosure: Icons of Real Estate, the last channel in the table, is our sister company. Its channel publishes the Icons podcast and interviews with agents, and it had posted within the past day when we checked.

Which channels were removed from this list?

Three channels from the 2023 version of this list were removed after our October 2026 check:

  • Lili Invests: the channel address from the original list no longer loads.
  • Max Maxwell: the most recent upload was about seven months old.
  • Ardor SEO Real Estate Marketing Lab: our own channel hasn’t posted in about two years, so it doesn’t belong on a list of active channels.

We also stopped listing subscriber counts from 2023. The numbers in the table above are the ones we saw on each channel page on October 9, 2026.

How do you get the most out of real estate YouTube?

The way to get the most out of real estate YouTube is to watch with a job in mind and then make something yourself. Pick no more than three channels. Turn on notifications for one. Each week, take one idea and use it: a script, a title format, a video type.

The agents who benefit most are the ones who start publishing. A local video series or video podcast gives you content for your site, your social accounts and your ads. For what’s working across marketing more broadly, see our roundup of current real estate marketing trends, and before you post, read where social media goes wrong for agents.

Frequently asked questions

Is real estate advice on YouTube reliable?

Treat it as education, not advice for your situation. Check when a video was posted, since rates and rules change. Notice what the host sells, such as coaching, courses or a brokerage. Confirm anything legal, tax or contract-related with your broker, attorney or CPA before acting on it.

Should a real estate agent start a YouTube channel?

If you can commit to at least one useful video a week for a year, yes. Local-market videos such as neighborhood guides and builder comparisons answer questions relocating buyers already search for. If that pace isn't realistic, a monthly video podcast is easier to sustain.

Are subscriber counts a good way to pick a channel?

Only partly. Big channels often cover broad finance and market news. Smaller channels such as Best Ever CRE or Hall CPA can be more useful if their niche matches yours. Check upload dates and recent titles before subscribing.
