Planes, Trains & Automobiles

July 11, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

Hey, everybody. Bob McCranie with Texas Pride Realty. And your “Realty Idea of the Day” is planes, trains, and automobiles. Let’s talk about what it’s like to get around in your city. Do you have mass transit? Do you not have mass transit? You know, Texas has a highway system. If you don’t have a car here, you can hardly get anywhere.

Let’s talk about where the best airports are in your area. We have two choices, I can get up to DFW if I want to go international or cross-country. If I want to do shorter trips, I can go to Love Field. I can go anywhere I want to from two different airports.

What are the highways like? Do you have train service? We have Amtrak here, but it doesn’t really go that far. I mean, I’m sure it does, but nobody uses it. So what is your chosen mass transit? What are people moving to your area going to find when they’re trying to find a flight or get around just on the highways?

Talk about the transit system in your area and let’s bring people up to speed. Because like I said, they’re not just buying a house, they’re buying a lifestyle. Bob McCranie, Texas Pride Realty. There will be another “Realty Idea of the Day” posted tomorrow. Bye-bye.

International Foods

July 10, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

Hey everybody. It’s Bob McCranie and this topic makes me hungry. Your realty idea of the day is international foods.

So people are no longer buying houses. I mean, they’re buying houses, but they know they’re gonna get three bedrooms and a of couple baths. How are they gonna live when they move to your city? Let’s show them the best place to get, you know, chicken curry. Let’s show them the best place to have Italian food. Let’s show them the best place to order Chinese. Let’s show them the best place to get Tex-Mex. Let’s show them the international foods that are available in your city.

I know, in my city, there are so many different choices here. There is an Asian community. There is an Indian community. There is a Pakistani community. There is Italian everywhere. There’s good all-American food too.

So let’s talk about the different international foods that are in your city and your favorite places to go, so the people realize they’re not just buying a three-bedroom, two-bath house. They’re buying a lifestyle. So let’s sell them that. This’ll be a great thing to put on your Google Maps. Maps is its own app now, Google Maps, Facebook, Instagram, just blog about each one of these. Five pictures, couple of things, take pictures of the food. Take pictures of their menus. Talk to the managers. The managers would love to talk to you. Maybe they’ll be on camera.

Poets & Writers

July 9, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

Hey, everybody. It’s Bob McCranie, with Texas Pride Realty. And your realty idea of the day is Poets and Writers. So, almost every community I know of has some, sort of, writing group. I know that scrapbooking has become incredibly important to a certain generation.

Autobiography has become important to people. As the elder community gets older, they wanna write down who they were and what they’ve been through. So let’s find the writers groups. Let’s feature a couple of writers in our blogs. Let’s talk to people about what it’s like to be them and why they are writing their story. Let’s get out there and find those writers groups and give them a voice on your Facebook or on your Instagram, and give them an outlet to have their story told. Anyway, Poets and Writers is the theme today. Bob McCranie, Texas Pride Realty. They’ll be another realty idea of the day posted tomorrow. Take care. Bye-bye.

Home Automation

July 8, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

Hey, everyone. Bob McCranie, with Texas Pride Realty. And your realty idea of the day is Home Automation. We are talking about Alexa, we are talking about Google Home. Let’s talk to our sphere of influence, see how many people have them already, see how many don’t understand them. This would be a great post for Facebook, this would be a good post probably for Instagram, if you want to post pictures of what the two products look like, maybe have a side by side poll.

By the way, polls are a great thing on Facebook. Polls get more ratings than a lot of other things. So, maybe you can have a picture of the Alexa, a picture of the Google Home, see which one people like the best. And let’s talk about home automation and ways that you can use smart thermostats, smart locks, smart switches, things like that that you can do around your home to make it either run more efficient, or just easier to live in. So, also more secure. So you have the home security systems, you have camera systems. Anyway, you pick your aspect of home automation and post about it today. Bob McCranie, there’ll be another realty idea of the day posted tomorrow, take care. Bye-bye.

Kitchens!

July 7, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

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

So let’s talk to our sphere of influence and go out on Pinterest and maybe post pictures of kitchens in your home construction or pictures of kitchens from back in the day. Let’s talk about kitchens and what’s the most essential part of one. What part of the kitchen is absolutely necessary? What part of the kitchen could you do without? What amazing kitchen would they want to see in their new home and then let’s go sell them that new home?

Kitchens are something where generations get together and learn recipes from each other, they have memories of cooking together and baking and doing all these things. The kitchen is the heart of the home. So let’s talk about what kitchen people would want to see in their new house, then let’s go sell it to them. And use your Tumblr, use your Instagram, use your Facebook. Post pictures of kitchens. Have people pick what they like. Visual, keep it up and visual. Let them see it.

Anyway, Bob McCranie. There’ll be another Realty Idea of the Day posted tomorrow. Bye-bye.

Farm Day!

July 6, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

Hey, everyone. Bob McCranie with Texas Pride Realty and your Realty Idea of the Day is farm day.

Let’s talk about where there are farmers’ markets in your area. I know in my part of town, there’s at least three each weekend. I know there’s one on Thursdays. And these are places, obviously, where people bring their organic produce or their homemade whatever, their products that they make on their farm or in their backyard, or organic eggs, things like that.

Let’s talk about, as people get healthier and they’re eating more organic, healthy things, let’s talk about where in your area there’ll be farmers’ markets where people can meet each other. Maybe you know of one, you can go and host a table yourself and have your real estate company there for the day.

So let’s talk about farmers’ markets, let’s put them on a map, let’s put them on a calendar, remind our sphere where they can go get healthy, locally-grown items that they would love. So anyway, talk about farms, talk about farming, maybe if you grew up in a farm, you know more about farms than I ever would, let’s talk about that.

Summer Movies

July 5, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

Hey, everyone. Bob McCranie with Texas Pride Realty and your Realty Idea of the Day is summer movies.

So what are the big box office hits this summer? What are the sleepers that maybe somebody haven’t heard of? What were the summer movies when you grew up? Maybe that’s a good question to post to your sphere. “Hey, guys, when you graduated high school, what were the summer movies that you spent a lot of time with?” I remember growing up, it was “Empire Strikes Back,” it was “War Games,” it was “Top Gun,” it was “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off,” I’m showing my age here.

So what are the current summer movies? What would the kids want to go see? Where’s the best theater in your area? I know there are theaters now that you reserve your seat, you get this really nice, laidback seat you fall asleep in. You’re gonna have drinks and food brought to you. You don’t have to go wait in the concession line. Talk about the best theater in your area. Remember, we’re no longer selling houses, we are selling a lifestyle so show people what it’s gonna be like to live in your city.

Anyway, Bob McCranie, today’s idea is summer movies. Let’s talk about those and there’ll be another Realty Idea of the Day posted tomorrow. Bye-bye.

July 4th!

July 4, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

Hey, everyone. Bob McCranie with Texas Pride Realty and Happy Fourth of July. Today is, if I time this right, should be the Fourth of July.

So let’s go out on our sphere of influence and talk about what our country means to us. And not being mean or political in any way, shape or form, what does the country mean to us? What do our freedoms mean? Maybe talk about the Red, White and Blue. Talk about any aspect of this land is your land.

Let’s talk about what it is, for you, that this country means. Is it the American dream of owning a home? Is it the American dream of owning a farm? Is it just… What is it to you? Let people know how you feel about, you know, being here and enjoying the Fourth of July. And of course, take a few minutes for yourself and your family. Go out, tune out for a little while, and enjoy.

Remember, we are no longer real estate agents, we are social medial companies fighting for attention in the field of housing. So go out there and post, post, and then go have some fun. Take care. Bye-bye.

Pool’s Open

July 3, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

Hey, everyone. Bob McCranie with Texas Pride Realty and today, this Realty Idea of the Day is pool’s open.

Let’s talk about pools and Fourth of July and I know I’m having a pool party, so let’s talk about pool safety. Let’s talk about what it cost to put a pool in versus buying a new home with a pool already in it. I know in our area, digging a pool’s gonna cost you about $70,000. But buying a home with one in it only raises the value of the home about $15,000. So let’s talk about whether or not they wanna buy…your sphere wants to buy a home that already has a pool dug in, whether they wanna dig in their own, what are the costs of each. How somebody can maybe use their equity to dig themselves an amazing pool.

Fourth of July time, talk about pool parties, let’s talk about pool safety, the alarms that you can put on the side of the pool, or actually, I think they float in the pool, to tell you when somebody’s gotten in the water, maybe your kid got out and you need to know. Let’s talk about latching systems and fencing and things like that for pools.

Anyway, pool safety. Bob McCranie, there’ll be another Realty Idea of the Day posted tomorrow. Bye-bye.

BBQ!!

July 2, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

Hey, everyone. Bob McCranie with Texas Pride Realty and today’s Realty Idea of the Day is BBQ.

It’s Fourth of July time. I know in Texas, barbecue means ribs and it means sausage and chicken. I mean, we go out and we grill everything. In other parts of the country, barbecue is a very specific thing. Memphis barbecue, different than how they’re gonna do it down in the Deep South.

So let’s talk about barbecue and grilling out and maybe the newest grills that are out there, things you can have in your outdoor kitchen. Let’s talk about barbecuing out and safety with barbecues, you know, how not to put it under your house, light your house on fire, how not to use the wrong accelerant to get it going.

Anyway, find your perspective on barbecuing, going out there and partying for the Fourth of July and enjoying your time with your sphere and let’s do it safely. Let’s talk about the styles of it, the recipes, the sauces, anything to do with barbecuing.

Anyway, Bob McCranie, Texas Pride Realty. There’ll be another Realty Idea of the Day posted tomorrow. Bye-bye.
