Stop calling past clients only when you need a listing. The Home Health Check Call turns your once-a-year “just checking in” into a high-value service homeowners actually look forward to, and it keeps you top-of-mind long before they think about selling.

In the episode I break down the six-step Home Health Check Call system I use with past clients, sphere owners and even new farm contacts: prepping with last year’s inspection report, opening the call with a “quick roof / HVAC / water-heater check,” delivering a trusted vendor within the hour, logging everything in the CRM, mailing a handwritten note and cycling back every 6–12 months. It’s pure homeowner value, no sales pitch, no awkward script, so your name becomes synonymous with lifelong home-advisor instead of “the agent who sold us the house.”

Watch (or listen) to learn the exact wording, the follow-up text I send, how I tie the call into my Local Legends vendor directory, and why this single habit keeps referrals flowing even in a tight market. Need the printable cheat-sheet? Drop a comment or DM and I’ll send the PDF.

Rocket Mortgage just snapped up Redfin and is closing in on Mr. Cooper, setting the stage for a consumer-first real-estate ecosystem that rivals Zillow Flex and every other prop-tech giant. In this episode of Your Daily Real Estate I break down Rocket’s May 2025 investor deck—38 pages that map out how they’ll weave home search, title, lending, servicing, and resale into one AI-driven loop.

You’ll hear:

• Why Rocket’s leadership calls homeownership “the last frontier ripe for technology disruption.”
• How slashing the average $40 K transaction cost in half could lure buyers and sellers away from traditional agents.
• The role of Redfin’s app, Mr. Cooper’s servicing portfolio, and Rocket’s mortgage engine in capturing clients for life.
• What we, as agents, are getting wrong about post-close nurture—and how Rocket plans to exploit that gap.
• Practical moves you can make now—local directories, long-form YouTube, short-form TikTok, blog SEO—to stay indispensable even as national platforms tighten their grip.

Delivering “value first” isn’t a slogan—it’s a strategy that makes your database, farm, and social audience look forward to every touch you send. In this episode of Your Daily Real Estate I unpack eight no-sales-pitch ideas you can swipe today:

• Neighborhood Snapshot Emails – quarterly one-page PDFs with recent sales, average price-per-square-foot and days-on-market, plus a soft CTA for custom reports. • Home-Health Check Calls – once-a-year check-ins on roofs, HVACs and water heaters that position you as the homeowner’s go-to resource, not just their last agent. • Community Event Invites – shred days, pumpkin patches, photos with Santa and other local gatherings that put you belly-to-belly with neighbors who’ll remember your face. • Value-Update Texts – a quick message comparing Zillow and Redfin estimates to your own hyper-local valuation (I read the exact letter I use). • Monthly “What’s New” Newsletter – restaurant openings, city ordinances, market shifts—become the digital mayor your sphere can’t ignore. • Neighborhood Garage-Sale Kits – flyers with sign rules, pricing tips and a QR-code map you maintain so neighbors see you as the organizer. • Moving-Box Coupons – partner with a storage store or coffee shop for a discount code that keeps your brand on their fridge. • Seasonal Pop-Bys – HVAC filters in spring, chimney-sweep coupons in fall—tiny gifts that spark big conversations.

I share sample scripts, prompts and the exact “Zillow vs. Redfin vs. Local” letter that fills my calendar with CMA requests. Need the PDF outline? Comment or DM and I’ll send it over.

Every homeowner asks me the same thing: “Do you know a plumber who actually answers the phone?”

That’s why I built my Local Legends Directory, a hand-vetted list of trades pros my clients can trust. In this video I unpack the exact 6-step system so you can create (and brand) your own directory, deepen relationships, and generate warmer conversations with past clients, sphere, and farm.

What we cover in under 10 minutes

1. Mine Your Network – The text message I send that gets homeowners happily sharing their favorite vendors.
2. Verify & Cross-Reference – Quick two-call process to make sure every contractor is legit and still in business.
3. Lock-In the Provider – How to invite vendors into your directory and ask for future referrals (win-win).
4. Close the Loop – The follow-up call that delivers value back to the homeowner and cements trust.
5. Publish & Deliver – Formatting in Canva, adding a QR code, and ways to distribute (PDF, pop-bys, open houses).
6. Annual Refresh – Using the directory update as a natural, non-salesy touchpoint every year.

Why it works

• Instant, practical value to homeowners—whether they plan to move or not.
• Positions you as a community connector, not “just another agent.”
• Creates easy, warm follow-up calls with zero awkward sales vibe.
• Builds goodwill with local vendors who can (and do) send you business back.

Real estate isn’t just listings and lockboxes,it’s you, showing up every day with a clear head and enough energy to serve clients and still have something left for dinner with the family. In this video I walk through the exact seven-step “mindset check-in” I’ve used for years: a five-minute routine that pulls me out of overwhelm, keeps burnout at bay, and reminds me why I signed up for this crazy business in the first place.

Here’s what we’ll cover:

1. Daily self-assessment – the two questions I jot down before touching my phone.
2. Catching negative talk early – how to spot the “silent soundtrack” that sabotages prospecting.
3. Setting realistic targets – a quick gut-check to keep goals big and believable.
4. Stress signals – the physical tells that warn me I’m one email away from snapping.
5. Celebrating small wins – my dead-simple trick for noticing progress before I zoom past it.
6. Living in gratitude – why a 3×5 card and a fountain pen travel with me everywhere.
7. Mental-health breaks – the 11-item menu I stole from Tony Horton that resets my brain in ten minutes or less.

Thanks for watching and for doing the inner work most people skip. Your clients ,and your family, will feel the difference.

I’ve spent the last year testing ChatGPT 4o and more recently o3 and Google Gemini with my real estate lens on; listing homes, chasing down buyers, writing postcards, and creating social posts. A lot of “AI hacks” online look great on paper but melt in the heat of an actual deal. Today I’m sharing the six workflows that did not melt. They save me hours, protect my sanity, and, most important, make my clients feel taken care of.

In the video we cover:

1. Listing copy that doesn’t sound like a robot. • How I feed the MLS sheet into ChatGPT and coach it to write in my own voice.
2. 30-second Reels & TikToks (script + caption) in under 2 minutes. • My exact prompt and a demo of Gemini trimming the fluff.
3. Neighborhood mini-blogs that rank on Google and look human. • Coffee, parks, dog-run info—written with AI, polished by me.
4. Buyer & Seller FAQ sheets—done once, reused forever. • Why I let ChatGPT interview me before drafting the doc.
5. Follow-up texts that feel like a friend, not a drip campaign. • Two real texts I sent last week (names changed).
6. My “10-minute morning” market update routine. • Gemini → Numbers → Canva → IG Stories, start to finish.

Level-up your real-estate workflow with six essential AI platforms—no gimmicky “AI for Realtors” apps, just the core tools that actually move the needle:

1. ChatGPT (o3 / Plus) – Swiss-army AI for listing descriptions, social captions, drip-email sequences and brainstorming.
2. Claude 3 – Best at long-PDF summarizing, empathy-driven replies and legal-tone drafts (HOA docs, inspection reports, offer letters).
3. Perplexity AI – Lightning-fast research assistant; pulls live citations for price trends, zoning, neighborhood data and relocation guides.
4. Gemini (Google) – Built-in YouTube & Ads brain; perfect for Google/YouTube script ideas, ad copy, SEO keywords and multi-language posts.
5. Grok (xAI) – X/Twitter-native thinker; surfaces trending real-estate threads and crafts witty short-form content in seconds.
6. DeepSeek – Code-friendly analyst; cleans CSVs, generates Python/JS charts and automates your monthly market-stat spreadsheets.

Quick-start plan • Pick ONE primary model (ChatGPT or Claude) and use it daily for emails, listing marketing and client FAQs. • Layer in Perplexity or Gemini whenever you need fresh, citation-backed stats or ad ideas. • Add Grok (social virality) or DeepSeek (data & visualization) as your niche helpers.
