Your Daily Real Estate Podcast with Tristan Ahumada

After 20 years of daily affirmations, I learned something most mindset videos avoid saying out loud: your inner voice is already training you, whether you like the program or not. This breakdown shows how morning affirmations, evening mindset routines, and self-talk psychology quietly shape confidence, leadership, and long-term success without turning you into a motivational billboard. You will see how to replace negative thoughts with practical affirmations, build a growth mindset, and use mental conditioning, personal development habits, and confidence training to stay steady when pressure shows up uninvited. No bs, just a repeatable way to talk to...

Most real estate agents are drowning in useless AI tools and still Googling mortgage rates like it’s 2012. Let’s fix that. This video breaks down the five AI tools that actually matter for listings, leads, paperwork, and market research, without turning your business into a robot parade. We will get to how Perplexity AI handles real-time market data and citations, how ChatGPT for real estate marketing writes listing descriptions and email nurture campaigns that sound human, how Google Gemini cleans up your Gmail and client database, how Claude AI tames inspection reports and HOA documents, and how...

Your biggest competition in real estate isn’t the market, the leads, or the algorithm. It’s the voice in your head telling you to stop, hide, and play small. In this episode, we break down growth mindset vs fixed mindset, why rejection is actually training, and how top real estate agents build confidence, consistency, and dominance through daily action. Backed by Stanford psychologist Carol Dweck’s research, we reveal how successful agents think differently when deals fall apart, clients ghost, and “no” shows up for the 97th time. If you’ve been avoiding cold calling, ope...

Most real estate agents treat marketing like a buffet. A little Instagram, a bite of TikTok, a nibble of Facebook, and somehow they are shocked when nothing fills them up. This video breaks down a smarter real estate marketing strategy that starts with one platform, builds local authority, and turns attention into actual conversations. You will learn how to use Instagram for realtors, pair it with a local real estate newsletter, and grow a Substack for agents that delivers community news, homeowner updates, and neighborhood insights people actually read. We also cover how ChatGPT for real estate...

Only 0.01% of agents run open houses like a real system instead of a sign, a smile, and a silent prayer. This video walks you through a step-by-step open house strategy that turns neighbors into leads and casual browsers into long-term relationships without begging for business. You will learn how door knocking before an open house, building a local real estate newsletter, creating a neighborhood board, and even gamifying open houses can quietly upgrade your real estate marketing, lead generation, and community branding while everyone else is still adjusting their balloons. This is not about chasing...

I’m in the middle of running a purposeful prospecting challenge, and watching this group reminded me of something I already knew but apparently needed slapped back into my brain. Accountability changes the direction of my business fast. The agents who succeed are not the most talented. They never are. They’re the ones who say what they’re going to do, out loud, in front of other people, and then actually do it. Shocking, I know. In this episode, I share the exact daily framework I use to remove excuses, replace willpower, and create real momentum. This i...

Five minutes. That’s the number I ignored for years while grinding through 10-hour days. And it explains why so many real estate careers feel busy, exhausting, and oddly unprofitable. In this episode, I walk through a simple five-minute daily reflection that separates agents who stay stuck from those who build real businesses. This is not filler journaling or some sort of motivational bs. It is an honest reset that reveals what actually moved my business forward and what was just productivity theater. I share how top agents use daily journaling, revenue generating actions, relationship bu...

“Meet one new person a day.” Cool advice. One problem. Where are these people hiding? Here’s the truth most real estate agents miss. You’re not supposed to hunt for prospects. You’re supposed to show up where they already are. Prospecting isn’t about awkward networking, forced small talk, or commission breath. It’s about consistency, value, and being a decent human repeatedly. In this episode of Daily Real Estate, I will show you how I’ve built listings, referrals, and long-term relationships by integrating business into real life. Not networking events that feel like u...

I spent more money on online leads than anyone else on Realtor.com. Not top five. Number one. And here’s what I learned after lighting that budget on fire. The leads weren’t broken. My approach was. Most online real estate leads aren’t tire kickers or “buyers are liars.” They’re just early. Really early. And most agents treat a midnight curiosity click like it’s a ready-to-buy conversation. That mismatch is why people ghost. In this episode, I scratch more than the surface of how to actually convert internet leads without...

The listing appointment feels important. It’s not. The real relationship starts when the sign goes up and the seller starts refreshing Zillow at midnight. That quiet stretch is where listings survive or quietly fall apart. In this episode, I go through why the best agents don’t “sell homes better.” They communicate better. They manage expectations before emotions spiral, feedback turns personal, and silence fills the gaps with worst-case scenarios. This is about seller communication strategy, not motivational fluff. You’ll learn how to prepare sellers for the emotional side of selling, h...

Most sellers already think they know their home’s value. Zillow told them. ChatGPT confirmed it. Their cousin’s friend got $50,000 over asking in 2021, so clearly that still applies. Here’s the uncomfortable truth. You cannot argue pricing with a seller and expect trust to survive. In this episode of Daily Real Estate, I break down how top agents shift the pricing conversation from opinion to evidence without triggering defensiveness. No scripts. No pressure. Just frameworks that let sellers see the market for themselves. You’ll learn how real estate pricing strategy actually works in...

160,000 people engaged with this topic in under 24 hours, and most agents still missed the real story.   This is not just about Compass, consolidation, or who bought who. This is about what happens every time real estate hits a massive shift. 2008. The pandemic. The NAR settlement. And now this. When giants consolidate, individual agents either disappear or quietly dominate.   In this video, I break down why big brands can buy platforms, teams, and tech but still cannot buy trust. And how smart agents are using local SEO, organic social media, AI search vi...

Burnout doesn’t happen overnight. It shows up in missed signals, fake energy, and calling exhaustion hustle. After 22 years in real estate and 12 years running LabCoat Agents, I’ve learned this the hard way. This episode breaks down a five-minute daily reset system I use to protect my energy before the day runs me over or after it already tried. No meditation cushions. No mindset speeches. Just simple checks, real limits, and a reset menu that actually works when you are tired, stressed, and short on time. You’ll hear how to spot stress signal...

The first letter is already in the mail. They read it. Maybe twice. And then nothing happens. This is the moment where most agents quit and move on, convinced it did not work. This video is where I explain why that thinking misses the point. Expired sellers are cautious for a reason. They already tried once. One letter, one call, or one text is not enough to change how they feel. In many cases, it is the second letter that finally opens the door. I walk through the exact follow up letter I send, why...

Most real estate agents stop paying attention to expired listings after 30 days. I do the opposite. I watch it happen every year. Real estate gents assume someone else already got the seller or that the seller gave up. In reality, many sellers whose homes expired six to twelve months ago still need to sell. They just do not want another agent calling them the day after expiration. In this video, I break down the exact letter I use to reconnect with these sellers and why it works. I explain why timing matters, why older expired sellers are...

I spent years watching how people use social media, and most of it looks the same. Post something. Scroll. Like a few things. Disappear. Then complain that social media feels pointless or exhausting. This video is where I explain the system I use to turn social media into actual relationships. I built it while working with Facebook and Instagram, and I still use it every day. I call it LCM Plus. I walk through how I like posts with intention, comment in a way that shows I actually read what someone shared, and follow up...

I was thinking about influence, power, and how people respond to voices they trust. It came up while talking about a book called Anointed, and it led me straight back to social media and why most content never connects. The biggest platforms in the world decide what gets shown based on what people already respond to. That forced me to get honest about who I am trying to reach and how I show up. After working with Facebook and Instagram for four years, I built a simple process that I still use today. I call it STAY.<...

Every agent says they want to work smarter, not harder. Then they show up with the same CMA, the same tired listing description, and a follow up plan that lives on a sticky note that says “call them back.” This video walks you through four very real ways real estate agents can use Claude AI to show up better without sounding scripted or salesy. Not theory. Not hype. Just things I actually use before listing appointments, during pricing conversations, and inside my CRM. You will learn how to prep smarter for listings, write property descriptions peop...

Benjamin Franklin tracked his failures every single day. Not his wins. Failures. With black dots in a notebook. And somehow that worked better than every productivity app, CRM reminder, and color coded calendar you and I keep ignoring by Wednesday. This video breaks down Franklin’s 13 Virtues system and why a 300 year old habit still works better than modern productivity tools for real estate agents. Franklin did not try to fix his whole life at once. He focused on one virtue per week, tracked where he fell short, and moved on. This is pure discipline, focus, and br...

There are so many AI tools out there that it is hard to pick the right one. I recently shared a post with over 100,000 views breaking down exactly how I use Google Gemini for my business, and I wanted to share the full strategy with you. You do not need to be a tech expert to get better results. In this episode, I am walking you through four practical ways to save time and sharpen your real estate skills immediately. Get a customized daily news brief so you sound smart every morning. Build a custom social...
