Your Daily Real Estate Podcast with Tristan Ahumada

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 signals early, why most to-do lists create burnout, how cutting 30 percent of tasks restores focus, and why small wins and written gratitude change how your brain performs. This is the upgraded version of a system I shared before, with one extra piece that makes the difference when you feel off. If you are a real estate agent, business owner, or high performer running on fumes, this one hits close to home. In this video, you’ll learn: How to check your energy without lying to yourself Why burnout is a math problem, not a motivation problem The three activities that actually move business forward A simple reset menu for stressful days Drop a comment with the signal you notice first when stress shows up, and subscribe for daily real estate advice that actually applies to real life.   #realestate #burnout #dailyhabits #productivity #realestateagent #entrepreneurlife #focus #energy

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 I wait before sending it, and how I space my outreach so it feels calm and intentional instead of rushed. I also explain the language choices I use, what I promise and what I refuse to promise, and how I position myself without pushing. This is not about volume. It is about timing, consistency, and showing sellers you are not going away after one try. What you will learn: • Why the second letter matters more than the first • How I space expired outreach over time • What skeptical sellers actually respond to • How to follow up without pressure Comment if you have ever stopped after one attempt and subscribe for daily real estate ideas built for the long run.   #realestateagent #expiredlistings #followupstrategy #directmail #dailyrealestate #listingprospecting #realestateletters

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 often more open to a conversation, and how a simple, well-written letter can reopen the door without pressure. I read the full letter, explain the thinking behind every line, and share how I tweak it depending on the situation. I also talk about why leading with empathy instead of expertise changes the response you get. This letter has created real opportunities for me and for agents on my team, especially when everyone else has already moved on. What you will learn: • Why older expired listings respond differently • How I approach sellers without pressure • What to say when everyone else said the same thing • How one letter can restart a conversation Comment if you work expired listings and subscribe for daily real estate ideas built on consistency and care.   #realestateagent #expiredlistings #listingletters #directmail #dailyrealestate #prospecting #realestatebusiness

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 with a message that makes the interaction personal. Then I explain the part most people skip. Taking the relationship off the screen with a short note or a simple invite that shows someone they matter. I also share how long I spend doing this each day, how I started small, and why this approach changed how social media feels for me entirely. If social media has felt noisy or empty, this is probably why. What you will learn: • How I turn likes into real conversations • How comments build familiarity over time • How messaging creates actual connection • Why the offline follow up matters Comment if you have been posting and disappearing and subscribe for daily real estate content that focuses on people first.   #realestateagent #socialmediabuilding #relationshipmarketing #dailyrealestate #realestatecontent #personaloutreach #networking

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. In this video, I explain how I use STAY to decide what I post and why it works. I walk through how I sell with stories instead of constant announcements, how I teach things people already ask me about, how I give advice tied to what I actually enjoy, and why showing up consistently matters more than trying to look polished. This is the same framework I used to figure out what people respond to over time instead of guessing every day. What you will learn: • How I use stories instead of constant selling • How I decide what to teach on social media • Why personal interests help content connect • How I review what works after 30 days Comment with which letter you struggle with and subscribe for daily real estate content that feels human.   #realestateagent #socialmediacontent #personalbranding #storytelling #dailyrealestate #contentstrategy #realestatevideo
