Protecting Pets

November 21, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

Hey, everyone. It’s Bob McCranie with Texas Pride Realty. And your realty idea of the day is protecting pets in the cold. So we are about to get, in Texas we’re told we’re going to get a wetter, colder winter, which only happens apparently when we try to host a Super Bowl, which we apparently tried six or eight years ago and got iced over for four days. But, and by the way I don’t care a thing about football, so don’t hit me back with Dallas Cowboys, I don’t care.

So if you have pets in the winter, you need to have suggestions for how to take care of them, how to keep them warm. If there’s a pet rescue nearby, do they need some blankets? Do they need some little warmers? I’m sorry, room heaters, things like that. Talk to people that have pets, let’s find out if there’s a need in the community, if there is pets that we know are always outside that we can help take care of some way. Find out what to do for pets in your community and then go out and talk about it. Everybody loves dogs and cats. So let’s do that. Bob McCraine, realty ideas per day. There will be another realty idea of the day posted in your box tomorrow.

Volunteering

November 21, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

Hey, everyone. It’s Bob McCranie, with Texas Pride Realty.

And your realty idea of the day, is volunteering at seniors centers. Now this is when I talk about a couple times through out the year. We’re coming up on the holidays, seniors are lonely. They don’t have family around sometimes. Maybe they’re not going to see their family during the holidays. Maybe they’re alone.

So go volunteer at a seniors center and maybe take 5 or 20 people from your office there as well. And it doesn’t have to be like, you can go to a senior care facility, but you can also go to the city. Most municipalities now have seniors centers that people go to as a day thing. And you can go there and just kind of help serve lunch, and sit among the ladies and the gentleman, and play cards or whatever. Just have a day where you go volunteer there and go meet people and just say hi.

So seniors centers at the holidays, critical time. Holidays are a time of much joy, they can also be a time of much depression. Go to the seniors centers, help out somebody. Bob McCranie, realty ideas per day. By the way, post on your social where all the seniors centers are. Get more people to come with you. Bye-bye.

Election Day

November 21, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

Hey, everyone. It’s Bob McCranie with Texas Pride Realty. And if I time this right, it should be Election Day. Go out encourage everybody to vote, try not to take a side, I know it’s super hard, we all have our opinions. I certainly have mine, I’ve taken all my political opinions that I can keep out of the way and I put them into a private group. So, there’s a private group that nobody, except for my friends, gets into and that’s where I can say anything, but I don’t put them out in the open. So, encourage people to go out and vote. Congratulate the winners if you feel so engaged. Talk about the future of the community, but do so in a way that’s not going to polarize at least half of your audience no matter which way you stand. I do believe that people are drawn to you if they agree with your opinion, and they’re pushed away from you if they don’t. So, those who are drawn to you will be drawn to you. They’ll figure you out. Those who are not going to be drawn to you, you don’t need to put it in their face. Bob McCranie with Texas Pride Realty. Happy Election Day. Go out and vote.

Winterize

November 21, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

Hey everyone, it’s Bob McCranie with Texas Pride Realty, and your realty idea of the day is winterizing your home. Now I live in Texas, so we go through summer, summer, half a day of fall, and right into winter. So depending on your part of the country, you may need to have your furnace checked. You may need to have oil put into the reservoir for the furnace. You may have to have your roof done, ceiling, windows, and trim and paint and things like that. Anything to make your home weatherproof and cold proof would be beneficial. So, I don’t know your part of the world. Educate me. What do you need to do? Do you have a need to have a stockpile of ice, in case it…I’m sorry, ice, salt in case it ices up? Maybe you need to get some new snow shovels or get your snow blower checked or whatever it is you do. Put it out there, tag me in it. I would love to see what other parts of the country do throughout the winter season. Bob McCranie, Texas Pride Realty. There’ll be another realty idea of the day posted tomorrow. Bye-bye.

Days of Gratitude

November 21, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

Hey, everyone. It’s Bob McCranie with Texas Pride Realty. And your realty idea of the day is one that I see a lot of people do right now. It’s the 22 days or 24 days of thankfulness. Okay? So, there’s 22 days to Thanksgiving, and they post something every day that they’re thankful for. So, you can make it about anything you want to. You can do it in pictures. You know, here’s 24 days or 22 days of things I’m thankful for. You can do it with words each day. Write a little paragraph. Just have something that people begin to expect to see so that every day they expect to see something new from you. And now it’s themed about Thanksgiving. So, 22 days of thankfulness this year and start with being thankful for your clients, being thankful for your family, being thankful for your car, being thankful for whatever it is you’re thankful for. I’m thankful for you. Bob McCranie, realty ideas per day. There’ll be another realty idea of the day posted tomorrow. Bye-bye.

Thanksgiving Recipes

November 3, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

Hey, everyone. It’s Bob McCranie with Texas Pride Realty and your Realty Idea of the Day is Thanksgiving recipes and Thanksgiving cooking.

So what we want to do right now is we want to go out on social media and we want to ask the question, “What’s your favorite Thanksgiving dish? What’s maybe a family recipe that you’ve had? What’s some food that you’d love to have for Thanksgiving?” Let’s have a photo contest, let’s have a recipe contest. Let’s find some way to…maybe if we get really good recipes, we can have a little cookoff. We can have a little challenge, have people vote for which one you want.

Ask questions on social media. This is a great question. It’s a photo question. People can put that on your Instagram or your Pinterest or your Facebook. It’s a recipe question. People are gonna make their little videos, or just list what’s in the ingredients.

So foods at Thanksgiving, what’s important in your family, what do you want to see on the table, give us a recipe for it. Bob McCranie, Realty Ideas per Day, there’ll be another Realty Idea of the Day in your mailbox tomorrow. Bye-bye.

Halloween Costume Contest Winners

November 2, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

Hey, everyone. Bob McCranie with Texas Pride Realty and we’re gonna continue a blog from a couple days ago. A couple days ago, we told people, “Hey, on Halloween, send us your best costumes that you see and there’ll be a contest.” Today is contest day.

So what we wanna do is we wanna post the best pictures we got, put them into an email, send them out, and recognize maybe the best kid’s outfit, the best adult’s outfit, the most scary, the funniest, dog/cat outfits, pet outfits, whatever. Come up with categories so there’s a lot of winners. And then, what you do is you let everybody know that, “Hey, there were so many good entries this year. Everyone’s gonna win a Starbucks card. Everybody who entered is gonna get something.” And then you go do pop bys with all those. And you go see people and say, “Hey, that was a great costume. Here’s something from me at Banana Realty, think of me anytime somebody’s about to buy or sell a home.” And that’s a great way to include people, make them feel like a winner and get those great pictures in and then everybody gets a little reward for thinking of you.

Battery Change

November 1, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

Hey, everyone. It’s Bob McCranie with Texas Pride Realty and your Realty Idea of the Day is time change, obviously, we’re gonna send that out, everybody remembers to send that out, but also, time to change the battery in your smoke detector.

So I’m huge about fire safety. If you watch me, I talk about fire safety at least two, three times a month if I can. Changing the batteries is important. Now, some smoke detectors are coming with lifelong batteries, that’s great. But there’s still a lot of smoke detectors out there that require the square 9-Volt batteries. I would go buy 20 or 30 9-Volt batteries and do a pop by and say, “Here’s two batteries, go change your smoke detectors. Do you need three, do you need just one? Do you need somebody to come in and, you know, if you can’t get on a ladder, do you want me to get up there and change it for you?”

Fire safety is incredibly important and we need to have working smoke detectors throughout the home. So talk about that. People will get the time change. They’ll understand that. They won’t remember to go change their batteries. Help them with that. Get some batteries. Take them around, hand them out to people. And then post about that on your Instagram, on your Facebook, on your Twitter. You can even do that on LinkedIn. And just talk about, “Hey, I’m out with Steve today and we’re changing batteries for people. If you need some, let me know.”

Your Halloween History

October 31, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

Hey, everyone. It’s Bob McCranie with Texas Pride Realty and your Realty Idea of the Day is Halloween through history.

So, you know, we don’t want to get into anything too controversial about the roots of Halloween and where it came from historically, but maybe you can go into what Halloween meant to you as a kid. Maybe you can talk about some of your costumes growing up that either you made or your folks helped you make.

I remember when I was growing up, we had these big plastic masks that held on with elastic and the kind of nylon suits when I was like 5 or 7 years old. And then my mom made some costumes which are really cool. But the store-bought things were just kind of clunky and awful. Maybe you can have some pictures, if you have them, of you as a kid in Halloween costumes.

Talk about the history of Halloween as it meant to you. What was your favorite candy to get in the bag? What was something that your folks warned you about? “Watch out for the guy down the street with the knife.” Or no, no. Did you go out to haunted houses as kids? What was it about Halloween as a kid in your history that made that important to you? Go on your social media, do a video about it, post some pictures, get as many comments as you can and then comment back.

Trick or Treat Driving

October 30, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

Now is a great time to remind people that small kids will be out in big costumes focused on candy. They won’t be looking both ways and drivers need to be more alert.
