Your Daily Real Estate Podcast with Tristan Ahumada

Real estate is a rollercoaster. One client ghosted, another wants to see 12 houses before lunch, and the deal you were counting on? Poof. But here’s the thing, gratitude cuts through the chaos. In this episode, I’m sharing four simple gratitude questions that can reset your mindset and help you handle the ups and downs of the business. These aren’t some word salad “be thankful for sunshine” ideas. They’re practical prompts that keep you grounded, grateful, and actually better at real estate. Here’s what we’ll cover: • The one overlooked detail that makes your day easier • How to thank the people who actually made a difference • Turning struggles into lessons (yes, even the painful ones) • Spotting moments you’d miss before they’re gone Drop your answers to one of the questions in the comments, and hit subscribe if you need a daily mindset reset.   #realestate #mindset #gratitude #realtorlife #realestatetips #dailyhabits #positivity

QR codes are not gone yet. Retailers keep using them, restaurants too, and even real estate agents are bringing them back in a fresh way. One of our agents put together a list of smart ideas for them. I went ahead and added some of my own thoughts to it. Skip that old stuff about just scanning for contact details. It gets old fast. What I mean is QR codes that link straight to your newsletter sign-up, or your YouTube videos, or that calendar for booking times. Those simple black and white squares end up handling a lot of your marketing work for you. Today I go over some easy QR code tricks that feel creative. You can grab them and use them starting today. You will pick up how to make a business card pull in leads like a magnet. The best spot for a QR code at open houses comes up too. Events paired with QR codes turn into real referral winners. Plus ways to link your offline world with online stuff. All without coming off dull. Share your top QR code idea in the comments below. And make sure to subscribe. That way you get more ideas every day.   #realestate #marketingtips #QRCodes #realtorlife #leadgeneration #realestatetips #digitalmarketing

Forbes put out these five ChatGPT prompts. They make the whole home buying thing less of a headache. I went ahead and tested them all myself. That way you don't have to bother. AI does more than crank out those awful poems. It can really help you sort out if buying a house is even worth it. You can check which zip codes seem way overpriced. Plus it shows how to avoid screwing up that final walkthrough. In this episode I break it down a bit. There's the prompt that quickly sorts your must-haves from the deal breakers. And the meh list too. Then how you run the numbers on renting versus buying. You don't need some fancy math degree for it. A kind of sneaky trick to spot those overpriced zip codes. That saves you from wasting time on tours. One of these prompts is pretty much total fluff. I'd swap it out for something better. People still talk about trying these. Kind of pick one and see.

Most agents claim they have a CRM. Thing is, a lot of them are basically stuffing phone numbers into Excel spreadsheets. They hope something good happens on its own. That setup is not a real system. It is just a bunch of digital junk taking up space. In this episode, I break down the four key categories. These show the true state of your CRM. You can quit acting like everything is fine. Start seeing actual progress instead.   You learn why the folks who really know you deserve your main attention. They should come first on the list. Then there is the proper approach to shift those random contacts in your database. Turn them into people who answer when you reach out. No more getting ignored all the time. You also pick up how to move your social media followers from lurking around. Bring them right into your CRM. That is where they fit best. One more thing stands out. It is the group you skip tracking altogether. But you need to start. Hint. They do not even realize you are out there yet.   Your CRM ends up as either your cash generator or your go to reason for not succeeding. Leave a comment below.

Most agents talk about “providing value” but then post another selfie with their latte. Cute, but useless. Here’s the reality: homeowners are way more likely to give you their info if you hand them stuff they can actually use. That’s why I’m breaking down 10 downloadable ideas that will make you look like the agent who actually shows up with answers instead of excuses. Here’s what you’ll get in this episode: Seasonal home maintenance checklists that save your clients from AC meltdowns and plumbing nightmares. Emergency prep guides (because wildfires, earthquakes, and snowstorms don’t RSVP). DIY projects so simple even your cousin who “installs LED lights for fun” can handle them. A home value tracker that finally makes all those receipts worth something. Stop being “that agent” who vanishes after the first showing.

Most real estate agents end up wasting a bunch of hours trying to brainstorm content that nobody really wants. Thing is, one good AI prompt can crank out community-focused posts and lead magnets in less than ten minutes. Yeah, it actually works that way.

Nobody really wants one more just checking in text. That stuff does not connect at all. It is just filler. In this video I walk you through four outreach strategies that I actually use.

Here is what I cover: • The market pulse check that flips things around so they end up asking you questions. • How to use social media like a regular person, not a pushy salesperson. • A simple way to turn local events into genuine touch points. • Why food recommendations might be your best kept secret for follow ups. These are not those touch base tricks that feel fake. They keep you top of mind without coming off annoying. Try them out and drop your go to outreach line in the comments.
