Your Daily Real Estate Podcast with Tristan Ahumada

22 years in real estate taught me this hard truth: clients decide how much they trust you long before you talk about price, strategy, or square footage. One bad habit can quietly cost you deals, referrals, and long-term relationships. In this video, I break down four simple habits that instantly help you show up better with clients, past clients, and even billion dollar boardroom types. No scripts. No fake charisma. Just small moves that signal respect, attention, and trust. These ideas come straight from my real estate experience, client meetings, coaching calls, and a few mistakes...

I used to think mornings just happened to me. Turns out, 83 percent of my worst days started because I let my phone run my brain before I did. So yeah, that was on me. In part two of this routine, I walk through the exact morning routine I use to show up sharper, calmer, and way less reactive. This routine is inspired by Hal Elrod, refined through years of coaching real estate agents, and adjusted because copying someone else’s routine word for word rarely works. You already have a morning routine. You just might not like th...

I learned this the hard way. 87 percent of high performers plan their next day the night before. Not in a sexy way. Not with candles and journals. Just boring consistency that quietly wins while everyone else scrolls. In this episode, I break down the most overlooked evening routine I have seen work again and again for real estate agents, business owners, and leaders. The moment that changed everything for me came during a live interview with a millionaire who said he had no routine. Then he casually listed the same steps he had followed for years. I...

Here’s a stat that might make you choke on your morning coffee: I meet with 52 past clients and send 104 handwritten notes every year. Why? Because people actually remember humans, not fancy funnels or ad spend. I’m Tristan, I run Lab Coat Agents, a real estate business for 22 years, and now Y Realty, plus this little podcast called Your Daily Real Estate. Over the years, I discovered a simple system I call The Process, a way to focus on actionable priorities, schedule them on my calendar, and actually finish what I start.  Here’s what yo...

Welcome to Part 2 of my purposeful prospecting series. If you missed Part 1, go binge that one first, trust me, it’s like the prequel everyone needed but nobody watched. Yesterday, I walked you through the “five calls a day” and the “20 minutes of social engagement” steps. Today, we’re getting into numbers three, four, and five of this simple, yet shockingly effective system. Imagine doing this every day for 30 days, your business might actually start running without all the fake hustle and annoying funnel nonsense. I’ll show you: • How one thoughtful post a day can attract...

Five calls a day. For 30 days. That’s the whole plan. No funnels. No ads. No pretending I “love providing value” while secretly begging the algorithm for attention. In this episode, I lay out purposeful prospecting, a relationship-first real estate system that feels almost rebellious in 2026 because it actually involves talking to real humans. Wild concept, I know. After 22 years as a real estate agent and 12 years running Lab Coat Agents, I explain why most agents fail at prospecting. They rush it. They repeat it too often. They sound fake. And then they wonder why pe...

Over 90 percent of real estate agents skip this daily system and then act genuinely confused when their business feels messy. In this episode, I break down the exact three daily tasks my brokerage uses while expanding into another state. Same setup. Same habits. Same results. Shockingly boring. Annoyingly effective. This is top 1 of the top 7 videos on this channel and also the most watched video we’ve ever posted. It is not new. It is not trendy. We’re reuploading it because too many people missed it the first time and frankly, more people should not be stru...

I’ve done this daily for about a month, and yeah, it quietly changed how I show up every single morning. In episode, I explain how I reorganized my ChatGPT tasks, numbered them, and accidentally trained myself to stay consistent. Not inspirational. Just effective. This is top 2 of the top 7 videos on this channel, and we’re reuploading it because the first time around, a lot of people missed it. That’s unfortunate because more agents could be using this to stop winging their day and start with a plan that already thinks for them. I walk...

I ran this one AI prompt with a friend at our brokerage and then just sat back and watched their social media take off. New account. Zero followers. About 1,300 followers in under 60 days. Casual. In this episode, I go through the exact prompt I use to show up better on social media without pretending to be someone I’m not. This is top 3 of the top 7 videos on this channel, and we’re resurfacing it because too many people are still guessing what to post, who they’re talking to, and why their content feels off. This video...

I’ve spent years listening to professors, bestselling authors, and people who literally help presidents write speeches. Not for fun. For patterns. In this episode, I share the six daily questions I’ve refined over the last two years while building YRealty. These are not motivational posters. These are the questions that stop small problems from becoming expensive ones. This is top 4 of the top 7 videos on this channel, and we’re bringing it back because most people are still reacting to their day instead of choosing how they show up in it. I walk throug...

Most agents say they want better local content. Then they post a blurry photo and call it a strategy. In this episode, I share the exact AI prompt I use to create genuine local content that homeowners actually care about, in any city, without spending your entire afternoon on Canva. This is top 5 of the top 7 videos on this channel, and we’re reuploading it because people keep asking how to post local real estate content without sounding salesy, awkward, or like every other agent on the block. This solves that problem quietly. I break do...

Most agents don’t fail on social media because they lack ideas. They fail because they do too much, everywhere, all at once. In this episode of Your Daily Real Estate, I lay out four simple rules for showing up better online without frying your brain or confusing your audience. This is the top 6 of the top 7 videos on this channel, and we’re reviving it because people need to know why posting feels exhausting and why results feel random. This video explains why. And yes, it’s usually self-inflicted. I break down how to pick o...

Most listing presentations sound the same. Same promises. Same slides. Same hope the seller doesn’t interview the next agent. In this episode, I walk through a certified pre owned home checklist we’ve been using and refining for years after a friend showed it to us. And yes, it quietly changes how sellers and buyers see a listing. This is top 7 of the top 7 videos on this channel, and we’re resurrecting because agents need a reminder on how to stand out without inventing something flashy or weird. This is not flashy. It’s structured. And it works...

I realized something uncomfortable. For a long time, I was running my business at maybe 50 or 60 percent. Not because I wasn’t working hard. Not because I didn’t care. But because I picked the wrong technology and then wondered why everything felt heavier than it should. So in this episode, I walk through the real estate tech stack I’m paying attention to for 2026. These are tools I actually use, test with my team, and roll out inside our brokerage before I ever talk about them here. No theory. No shiny object syndrome. Just what’s working...

Some real estate agents are blowing up online. Others are yelling into the algorithm like it owes them money. The difference is not luck. It is not the platform. And no, Instagram does not hate you personally. It is process. And yes, prompts. In this episode,I break down the exact AI system I am using to create hyperlocal social media videos that actually get views, saves, and real people paying attention. No dancing. No pointing at text bubbles like you lost a bet. We walk through a four step AI setup that helps real...

Most agents are still posting the same listing video once and wondering why the algorithm ghosts them. Spoiler alert. That strategy is dead. This video breaks down the three-video per listing protocol that flipped views, woke up the algorithm, and stopped listings from screaming into the void. No complicated tech. No fancy gear. Just smart video strategy that actually gets eyes on the house and on you. If you are a real estate agent trying to get more listing views, better reach on Instagram, TikTok, or Reels, and stop posting to zero engagement, this is...

Most leaders fail for one simple reason. They knew what to do and still did not do it. In this session, we cover principles 12 through 23 inspired by Mary Kay Ash and applied in real leadership, real teams, and real businesses. No theory. No fluff. Just execution. These leadership principles focus on action, follow-through, and people. Not policies. Not excuses. Not endless planning meetings that go nowhere. If you lead a team, manage people, run a business, or work in real estate, sales, or coaching, this applies to you more than you think. <...

Ninety percent of team problems are not about strategy, systems, or plans. They are about people. That is the number most leaders ignore. Mary Kay Ash built a billion dollar company by focusing on human behavior, not corporate theory. In this video, I break down 11 leadership principles that actually work, including the one rule that prevents problems before they blow up. These are not textbook ideas. These are people-first leadership lessons I have used in real estate leadership, team management, coaching, company culture, and daily decision making. If you lead a team, manage...

Most real estate agents walk past listing opportunities every single day. Not because they are rare, but because they look boring. In this video, you will learn 10 listing strategies hiding in plain sight that do not involve buying leads, cold calling strangers, or begging the algorithm for attention. One agent landed a listing after a casual garage sale chat. Two weeks later, signed. That is awareness, not luck. This breakdown covers real estate listings, listing strategies, seller leads, real estate prospecting, agent mindset, local market knowledge, off market listings, real estate marketing, how to get listings, and...

22 listing strategies. 8 minutes. 22 years of field-tested scar tissue. If you are sitting around waiting for your sphere to magically text you a referral, congrats, you are leaving listings on the table. Referrals are great. I love them. But agents who are winning right now are not waiting. They are showing up where other agents are not even looking. In this video, I walk you through listing strategies 11 through 22 that I still use after 22 years in real estate. These are not theory. These are the exact listing ideas that create appointments, conversations, and inventory when things feel slow.<...
