Posts By Bob McCranie

I am so proud to run Texas Pride Realty Group. We set out on a mission in 2009 to serve the diverse communities of Texas and to hire kick-ass agents who practice the highest ethics and professionalism. I believe that the agent's role is to help the consumer make well-educated decisions, even if those decisions lead away from a purchase or sale.

I believe that education is vital in this industry. I currently have over 1300 hours of real estate courses on my transcript with the State of Texas. Additionally, I am a Real Estate Business Coach at Tom Ferry International, the largest-real-estate specific coaching company in the world. I coach agents in the US and Canada, and have coached clients in Australia, New Zealand, Brazil, and Switzerland. I also have knowledge of the UK and Irish markets.

Opening Texas Pride Realty was always a goal of mine and I am working night and day to be sure it is successful. The best way to do that is to be sure clients are satisfied and agents are busy. What better legacy could someone leave in this industry than a group of well-trained, high-quality brokers who do your job better than you?

For Sale By Odor

July 28, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

Okay, everybody, Bob McCranie with Texas Pride Realty, and today’s idea, wow what a stinker ha.

Today’s “Realty Idea of the Day” is for sale by odor. Let’s talk about when you’re selling a home and it smells really bad, how we counsel our sellers to remedy that. Let’s talk about how carpets and any fabrics in the home hold the smoke smell. Let’s talk about how carpets and flooring hold pet odors from, you know, pet urine and problems that the pets have had in the house.

Let’s talk about when they change their carpets and their flooring, that they need to seal the subfloor with a paint or something to keep the odors that have gone into the concrete or the wood sealed away. Let’s talk about the fact that people go, as the commercials say, they go nose-blind. They don’t smell it. They don’t think their house smells like an ashtray. They don’t think their house smells like 15 cats.

We have to be honest with people and talk about for sale by owner houses, and how that’s just not going to happen and it’s not going to be really good for them.

So anyway, Bob McCranie, Texas Pride Realty. Please don’t put like 17 Glad things on the wall and try to cover it up because we just see all the air fresheners, and we know better, and we can still smell it.

For sale by owner. Bob McCranie, Texas Pride Realty. There will be another “Realty Idea of the Day” posted tomorrow. Bye-bye.

Who’s Your Mentor

July 27, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

Hey everyone, it’s Bob McCranie with Texas Pride Realty. And your realty idea of the day is “Who’s Your Mentor?” Let’s give credit where credit is due.

Let’s talk about the people or person in our life that give us such leadership, and such good guidance that you consider them a mentor in your world. This could be anybody living/dead, somebody who’s religious, somebody who’s not. It’s totally your call, but let’s give credit, and shine out the fact that we are always in growth mode, we are always being educated. And that this person or persons have done an amazing job for us. And then let’s talk about where people can go to be mentors to others in the community: the Boys & Girls Club, the Lyons Club, any sort of situation where, maybe you’re willing to be a mentor to somebody in the real estate community.

So let’s talk about mentorship, let’s talk about being stewards of our community. And let’s ask our sphere where they would want to be a mentor, or who’s been a mentor in their life. So, this is a great dialogue question. Put this out to everybody. Bob McCranie, Texas Pride Realty. There’ll be another realty idea of the day posted tomorrow. Bye-bye.

Up & Coming

July 26, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

Hey, everybody. It’s Bob McCranie, with Texas Pride Realty. And your realty idea of the day is Up and Coming areas in your town. So, there’s always a cycle of development, appreciating values, declining values, renovation, or revitalization. Every community has that parabola, being new, being at their apex, starting to decline, and then having to go through revitalization. So, where are the areas in your town that are about to have to go through revitalization? Where maybe the values of the homes are depressed because the neighborhood needs some cleaning up?

So, people love to give in on that and they love to be part of that community growth and revitalizing it, and having their home be a place of pride in their community because they’re willing and the first to change the landscape and they repaint. And it also makes the area more affordable. So, and people in those areas, tend to have more appreciation because as the neighborhood revitalizes, it’s great for home values. So let’s talk about up and coming places in our community. Bob McCranie, Texas Pride Realty. There’ll be another realty idea of the day posted tomorrow. Bye-bye.

Football

July 25, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

Hey, everybody. It’s Bob McCranie and I know it’s a little early to talk about this, but let’s talk about football.

So in your area, you have high schools, you have colleges, and you have professional teams that span the country. Let’s talk about the football schedules coming out. Let’s show everybody when the local high school teams are gonna be having their games. I bet in the heat of the summer in Texas, they go out and they start practicing for the autumn. The teams are already pretty much set up for the varsity and JV and obviously, college and you know, professional leagues are out there already. I know in Texas, in Dallas, we have the star now, the big team plays for the Dallas Cowboys. Also, at the high school level here, we have two or three communities that have major arenas for their high school games.

Let’s talk about football. Let’s talk about how it stimulates the economy. And let’s talk about the schedules coming up and maybe get those schedules out. This could be a whole Facebook page for different football games or, frankly, any sport in your area. And post this on your social and get people attracted to knowing about your community.

Bob McCranie, Texas Pride Realty. There’ll be another realty idea of the day posted tomorrow. Bye-bye.

ManiPedi

July 24, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

Hey, everybody. It’s Bob McCranie, with Texas Pride Realty. And your realty idea of the day is Mani-Pedi. Now, the guys out there may be going, “Oh, I don’t want to talk about that.” But, do you know nail salons are a multibillion-dollar industry in this country and others? So, if you have people moving into your area, let’s show them the best place to get their nails done. Let’s show them the best day spa, let’s show the best nail techniques that are out there. Again, we’re not selling a three-bedroom, four-bath house, we are just selling the lifestyle of how people will live when they move to your community.

And, trust me, there are a lot of guys out there getting their nails done too. Because everybody loves a really good hand massage and a really good foot massage. So Mani-Pedi places, nail salons in your area, day spas, let’s cover them, let’s take pictures, and let’s post them out to our sphere of influence, and teach people what it’s like to live in your town. Bob McCranie. There will be another realty idea of the day posted here, tomorrow. Bye-bye.

Granite Stores

July 23, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

Hey everybody, let’s take it for granted. Yeah, that didn’t work well. I was gonna say, “Let’s take it for granted, but it’s granite.” Anyway, Bob McCranie, Texas Pride Realty. You’re realty idea of the day is, let’s go tour the granite store.

Let’s go look at the stones that can be used for countertops in your kitchens, bathrooms, wherever it is you need a countertop installed or use a marble or stone. Let’s go talk about that. Sometimes you can use it on flooring.

There is, at least, 10 granite places that I know of in the Dallas-Fort Worth area that I could get to in 20 minutes. Let’s go look at the different types of stone, why some stone is more expensive than others. I know the granite stores that I go to, they grade them like, you know, the least expensive to the most expensive.

Probably, it’s because it’s harder to mine. You know, if you are an environmentalist, you can talk about the environmental impact of mining so much granite and stone and is granite still something that everybody wants in their kitchen?

Around here, everybody wants it, but maybe there’s a new product. Anyway, let’s talk about granite today. Let’s go to the granite store, take a lot of pictures, post them, put them on maps because Google Maps is the thing.

Let’s get out there and go tour the granite store and come up with ideas and solutions for our sphere. Take care. Bob McCranie. There’ll be another realty idea of the day posted tomorrow. Bye. Bye.

Photo Websites

July 22, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

Hey, everyone. It’s Bob McCranie with Texas Pride Realty. And your realty idea of the day is photo websites.

Now, probably about, what, 9, 10 years ago, you had things like Photobucket and Flickr, and you could upload your photos and make albums. And that was before Facebook really came along and made their own albums. Now, everything is albums and photos and stuff. You have Pinterest. You have Tumblr. You have Instagram. There’s probably a hundred I’m not thinking of. There’s scrapbooking and things of that nature.

So let’s talk about photo websites. Maybe we can go out on each of them and give a sample. Maybe we can do a little video online demonstration. Let’s talk to our sphere about where to post pictures. And let’s also talk to our sphere about taking pictures of their home every year for insurance purposes and just to remember what the house looked like eight years ago. Every year, on a certain day, maybe you remind people, “Go take pictures of everything in your house. Don’t try to clean it up because, God forbid, if there’s a fire or a problem, you’ll actually wanna remember what things were there. And if you clean it up, you won’t know.”

So photo websites, let’s talk about taking pictures of your house and let’s get people talking. Bob McCranie, Texas Pride Realty, there’ll be another realty idea of the day posted tomorrow. Bye-bye.

Washers & Dryers

July 21, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

Hey, everybody. It’s Bob McCranie with Texas Pride Realty, and yesterday we talked about refrigerators. But, today’s Realty Idea of the Day is washers and dryers. So, a lot of them are really expensive, but the most efficient ones are worth it.

We need to talk about what’s the difference between a top load and a front load. What are the struggles with each? Ask people. Have a poll. Hey, do you like your front-loading system, or do you like your top loading system? Do you have stackables? Is that something that’s trending in your area? This would be something that would be great as a question to your sphere, to ask which one do you like? What do you prefer? What brands do you like?

Also, again, if you’re at the appliance store like we talked about yesterday with refrigerators, go down there and look at the different models. A lot of them have gotten really high tech. The water levels are different, they save water now. Obviously, you have the pods. Instead of just dumping in the Tide Power, you have pods and stuff like that.

So let’s talk about laundry. Let’s talk about the need to get it done and how these machines will help and help you save money. Take care. Bob McCranie. There’ll be another Realty Idea of the Day posted tomorrow. Bye-bye.

Refrigerator

July 20, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

Hey, everybody. It’s Bob McCranie with Texas Pride Realty. And your realty idea of the day is refrigerators.

They’re so much more complex than when I grew up. When I grew up, you had the door on the bottom refrigerator. Up on the top is freezer, and you had ice freeze that you had to crack open and pop into the big white ice tray. And if you didn’t fill them up with water, mom is gonna be real ticked off at you.

But refrigerators now are high-tech, they’re online. They can tell you what’s in your refrigerator. They can show you by camera what’s sitting on your shelves. You can push a button and see inside the refrigerator without even opening it. There are so many new-fangled features on refrigerators that you just can’t keep up with them.

So let’s talk about probably one of the most important appliances in our kitchen and give people choices. Maybe you go to the local, you know, store. You do some product demonstrations. Maybe you talk to the salesperson there at the appliance store. Let’s talk about refrigerators. Let’s see what people want in their house and then let’s sell it to them and help them have the lifestyle they want.

Bob McCranie, Texas Pride Realty. There’ll be another realty idea of the day posted tomorrow. Bye-bye.

Patios & Backyards

July 19, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

Hey, everybody. Bob McCranie, with Texas Pride Realty. And your realty idea of the day is Patios & Backyards. So, everybody wants a house that has an amazing backyard. A lot of people want outdoor kitchens now. Let’s talk to our sphere and ask them, in your backyard, would rather have an outdoor kitchen, or a pool, or both? What would you change about your house in the backyard? Let’s talk about what it is they’re looking for and then let’s go sell it to them. Or let’s find them somebody who can actually make that for them, and maybe we can show them the equity in their home that would allow them to afford that.

So let them dream, let’s talk about patios, backyards, porches, swimming pools. Let’s just talk about that space that’s behind your house and see what people want to do with it. And then, let’s be part of fulfilling that dream. This would be a great thing to do on Pinterest or on any pitcher or any sites, so that people can see other ideas of what’s happening in their neighborhood and pick something they like. Anyway, Bob McCranie, Texas Pride Realty. There will be another realty idea of the day posted tomorrow. Bye-bye.
