Your Daily Real Estate Podcast with Tristan Ahumada

Most agents treat their social media like a digital junk drawer. A “Just Listed” here, a “Happy Friday” there, and then… crickets. In this episode, I talk about my “S.T.A.Y.” method, the one that finally makes sense of real estate content chaos. I, who spent four years working with Facebook and Instagram, share how S.T.A.Y. helps agents stop guessing and start connecting. This isn’t about going viral. It’s showing up consistently, creating posts people care about, and actually getting real estate leads without dancing in your kitchen. Here’s what you’ll get: • A clear plan for what to post each week using the S.T.A.Y. method • Ways to turn simple stories into meaningful real estate conversations • Tips to keep your real estate audience engaged and coming back • Examples of posts that grow trust, relationships, and referrals If your social media feels random or exhausting, this episode might be the reset you need.

The average agent loses 70% of past clients simply by forgetting to show up in person. That’s right, the “P” in HOP (aka People) could be the easiest way to grow your real estate business in 2026 without spending another cent on ads or learning the latest TikTok trend you secretly hate. In this episode, I break down how meeting clients in person builds trust faster than any chatbot ever could. Spoiler? Robots can’t hug. I share how coffee chats, client events, and good old-fashioned thank-you notes keep my real estate referrals rolling in, one latte at a time. You’ll learn how to: • Plan low-cost real estate events that actually get people to show up • Create easy one-on-one systems for real estate agents to connect weekly • Turn casual meetups into long-term real estate leads and listings • Use handwritten cards (yes, paper still exists) to grow client retention Forget automation for a second and just be human, it still works.

Here’s a stat you’ll love: 80% of agents ignore the easiest money source they already own, their phone contacts. Yes, that magical “O” in HOP (aka Online) could be the thing that finally wakes your real estate business up in 2026. Surprise! It doesn’t involve cold calls, door knocking, or pretending you like open houses. In this episode, I break down how to meet clients online without selling your soul to algorithms. We’re talking about showing up where people already scroll, social media, email, and local communities, because apparently, that’s where humans live now. You’ll learn how to: • Build a zero-cost real estate marketing system that grows leads all year • Use Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn for real estate agents to stay top of mind • Send a real estate newsletter your sphere won’t delete (a miracle, honestly) • Turn DMs into real estate referrals without being “that” agent Because for real, if you can scroll memes, you can scroll for money.

I’ve got a real estate marketing model for 2026 that actually work, no, it’s not another “download my free PDF” scheme. It’s the H-O-P system, and today we’re breaking down the “H,” which stands for meeting people at home. Because apparently, human connection still beats cold DMs and generic drip emails. Who knew? Here’s the truth: when your real estate brand shows up inside someone’s home, through pop-by gifts, postcards, or actual mailers, you stop being that random real estate agent who spams listings and start being the one they call first. Think client gifts, local event invites, and quarterly newsletters people don’t throw away (well, hopefully). In this episode, I show you how this “H” rule helped me build repeat business, referrals, and top-of-mind trust without buying a single Facebook ad. You’ll learn: • Why sending physical mail is still real estate gold • How pop-bys and client touches beat “AI follow-ups” every time • Why smart realtor branding gets you referrals on autopilot • How “H” fits into the full real estate prospecting system for 2026 Drop your best client gift idea below and subscribe so you don’t miss part two, “O.”   #RealEstateTips #RealEstateMarketing #RealtorLife #LeadGeneration #RealEstateAgent #PopByGifts

Most open houses feel like awkward first dates, too quiet, too polite, and everyone’s pretending to care about the kitchen backsplash. But what if you could make people actually excited to walk through a home? In this episode, we’re bringing back a pre-COVID experiment that turned open houses into literal games. Spoiler: it worked. Agents using open house gamification saw up to 3x more engagement and higher lead retention. Yep, just by handing out a game card or QR code, they got visitors competing, laughing, and actually remembering the house afterward. We break down how to: • Turn your next open house into a mini adventure with real estate gamification • Use QR codes, Google Forms, and leaderboards to make guests feel like contestants, not strangers • Create interactive open houses that make buyers stay longer and talk more • Build better connections (and get more leads) through fun instead of forced small talk This one’s for real estate agents who are done hosting quiet tours that feel like dentist waiting rooms. Comment if you’ve ever tried interactive open houses or if you’d risk hiding clues in the living room.
