Labor Day Plans. Ask now!

August 3, 2019 · by Bob McCranie

Hey, everyone. It’s Bob McCranie with Texas Pride Realty and your Realty Idea of the Day is Labor Day plans. Now, we’re still a good month away from Labor Day, but you know the month is gonna speed by, so why not go out and talk about, “Hey, remember what I did last year for Labor Day and how fun it was?” Or ask your sphere, better yet, ask a question, “What are your plans for Labor Day? Have you thought about them? Have you made your reservations?” People love to talk about themselves. Maybe you can ask, “Hey, I’m not sure what to do for Labor Day, where would you go? What have you done before?” Get them to post their travel pictures. Get them to talk about themselves, interact. So this could be a great post that you could do on Facebook, maybe Instagram, maybe Pinterest. What are your vacation photos and where have you gone on Labor Day that have been amazing? So let’s start planning about it. Let’s start talking about Labor Day. What does Labor Day mean to people? Maybe it means something different for different people, you know? So start talking about that. Basically, this could be a great travel log post of any sort, picture-oriented and whoever gives you the best suggestion wins something, a Starbucks card. Talk to you later, Bob McCranie. Realty Ideas per Day.

Recycling

August 31, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

Hey everyone! It’s Bob McCranie with Texas Pride Realty and your Realty Idea of the Day is “Recycling in Your Area.” So, recycling is something that is huge. And it needs to be. And it is an industry unto itself. But, we need to know how recycling works in our area, what products are actually recyclable. Different cities, at least in Dallas-Fort Worth, different cities have different styles or different things that they do recycle. Some will take one through six. Some will take only one through four but not… You know. They have ideas, they have rules about what they will and won’t take. So, one thing that you do would be to talk about where you could recycle things that may be unusual. Like prescription drugs. There are places that you can take prescription drugs. Don’t flush them down the toilet. They get in the water system. Take prescriptions drugs back to this, you know, one location. They will take care of them. Paint. Paint is another thing you can’t just throw away. You have to recycle it. It has to be recycled in a certain way. So, you need to find out where that would go. Let’s talk about recycling in your area today. Bob McCranie. There will be another Realty Idea of the Day posted tomorrow. Bye-bye.

Plantings for the Fall

August 30, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

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

So now is the time to be considering what you need to put in the ground for your fall harvest. Obviously, we’re gonna be having our pumpkins and everything like that. There’ll be most posts about that coming up. But what is it that we need to put in the ground now so that it’ll be ready for winter or will come back up in the spring?

So if you live in a colder zone, I know there are planting protocols you need to do to have things in the ground now for spring flowers. I know that you can put some bulbs in the ground now so they’ll be ready for the spring.

I’m not a gardener. I will admit this. But there are organic gardening sites for each zone of the country, each area of the country, each temperature zone that you can go out and reference and talk to people about what they could do to their yard to be ready for next spring. Now’s the time to get the fall plantings in.

Take care, Bob McCranie, there’ll be another Realty Idea of the Day posted tomorrow. Bye-bye.

Mom & Pop

August 29, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

Hey, everyone. It’s Bob McCranie with Texas Pride Realty and our Realty Idea of the Day is mom & pop shops.

So we all know the chain stores that are around us. We all have, you know, Old Navy and The Gap and whatever, Target, and all these…and they’re great. These places are great, don’t get me wrong. But what about the mom & pop shops in our community, the ones that have maybe been around 20 years, quietly in the same little store location, just eking out a living? Or maybe doing really well, who knows? Maybe I’m wrong.

Let’s go find the mom & pop shops in our area. Let’s find the diners. Let’s find the off brand, not quite…you know, unless you’re from here, you don’t know the people. You don’t know who runs the shop. Let’s go look for those shops in our area and go interview the owners and do a little profile piece and tell people about this great shoe store or this great toy store or whatever it is. Maybe it’s a popcorn store. Maybe it’s a fountain shop, soda fountain shop.

Go find the mom & pop in your area and talk about it. Bye.

Location Location Location

August 28, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

Hey, everyone. It’s Bob McCranie with Texas Pride Realty and our Realty Idea of the Day is location, location, location. I just did times three, but you get my point.

So what’s the most important part of real estate? Well, the old adage being location, location, location. Obviously, there’s price point and style and other elements. But let’s talk about… Earlier, we had a post about what were the up and coming areas. Maybe we can talk about where the areas are that are most effective for commuting. Maybe there are areas that are most effective for the trendy social life. Maybe there are some areas that are best for schools. We can pick different areas in our city and talk about why each of them has the specific location for a different sort of buyer.

So profile the neighborhoods, profile why this neighborhood might be best for a certain type of buyer. Never describe the person, always describe the neighborhood that should buy there so we don’t get in equal housing problems.

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

Pet Adoptions!

August 28, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

Hey, everyone. It’s Bob McCranie with Texas Pride Realty and our Realty Idea of the Day is pet adoptions.

So there are two or three ways we can take this. One, we can feature the website of a local pet shelter and feature some of the animals who really desperately need a home. We can actually go to those shelters and maybe make a video of us holding each of the animals and how much this dog is so cute and this kitty is so cute, whatever. Or we can go and host a pet adoption at our place of business. I know a couple of brokerages around me here, they have pet adoption days at their brokerage on Saturdays.

Come out, adopt a pet, spend some time… Do you have a pet-friendly office? Do you need a cat for your office? Do you need whatever? Maybe there’s somebody who would help with adoptions.

The other thing you could do is ask the different adoption facilities, do they need food, do they need donations, do they need people to just come, you know, work with the pets and be there.

Anyway, Bob McCranie, pet adoption, super important in your area. Take care. Bye-bye.

New Diners

August 25, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

Hey, everyone. It’s Bob McCranie with Texas Pride Realty. And our realty idea of the day is one I like to come back to from time to time. New diners, new restaurants, new places to go. There’s always a new restaurant opening up. There’s always a restaurant that either didn’t make it or some new concept coming to town. So always go out and be one of the first people to go try it. Read the paper, you know, maybe like city…city I live in they publish. Who just got the new building permits so I know few weeks in advance who’s about to have their grand opening. Go be one of the first people there, talk about it, blog about it, take pictures and if you’re a manager make a video. Talk about the food. Hopefully say something nice hopefully it’s a good place to eat. And be the person to say,” You know what? This place is really great you should go try it” Talk about new diners, talk about new restaurants. Will…will have lots of great food and you’ll have a great time blogging about it. Bob McCranie, Texas Pride Realty. There’ll be another realty idea of the day posted tomorrow. Go eat somewhere new. Bye.

Run Run Run

August 24, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

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

Okay. So I have a friend, when he comes to town, after he raids my liquor cabinet, the second thing he likes to go do is run our nature trails. We have an extensive, miles and miles and miles of nature trails around here. And he loves to go do that. I…if you ever met me in person, you know, I’m not a runner. I’m not going to go out and do this. But health and fitness are a huge part of our community. A few sessions ago, we talked about doing parks and recreation. Now, where’s a good place for running? And where are there local running marathons or triathlons or just, you know, charity runs?

Running is a big subculture in our area. So let’s talk about that. How do people protect themselves? How do people…you know, what’s the best thing to wear, reflective wear, running in the evening or the morning. How do you make yourself visible to cars in the area? Where’s the safest trails to be on so that you’re not out in the middle of things? Run, run, run. Find out everything you can about running in your area. And post about it.

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

Home Office

August 23, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

Hey, everyone. It’s Bob McCranie with Texas Pride Realty. And your realty idea of the day is “Home Office Needs.” So many people in the workforce these days work from home. I’m in my home office right now. But as we’re touring new construction homes or we’re touring existing homes, let’s talk about the best things that people need in their home office. Now, is it a standing desk, like I have? Is it a seated desk? Is it built-in bookcases? Is it the best internet wired into the home? Is it having a really strong internet router? What is the best thing for you to have in your home for working from home?

So let’s ask questions too, let’s not presume. Let’s ask people who work from home, you know, this can be a great poll question on Facebook. What is it you want? And what is it you look for in a home office? What would be the best thing for you? Is it printing capabilities? Is it pre-wired? Is it storage? What is it that would make an amazing home office for you? Being right next to the UPS Store would be great for me but unfortunately not. Anyway, Bob McCranie, Texas Pride Realty. There’ll be another realty idea of the day posted tomorrow.

Grocery Stores

August 22, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

Hey, everyone. It’s Bob McCranie with Texas Pride Realty. And today’s realty idea of the day is “Grocery Stores.” So there’s been a lot of talk in some urban parts of Dallas, and other cities I’m sure, there are what they call food deserts. There are no grocery stores within five miles of the homes that are built there. Maybe the area is economically depressed, for whatever reason all the grocery stores have flown from that part of the city. Excuse me, so we can talk about one, your favorite place that’s around you to go grocery shop. You can talk about the higher end grocery stores if you want to go to a Whole Foods, or something like that. You can also talk about areas where there’s maybe a mom and pop grocery store. Here there’s a lot of ethnic grocery stores. There’s a there’s a huge Korean market and Chinese market and Indian markets. There are sublets of different cultural grocery stores around here too. So talk about grocery stores, talk about how grocery stores build a community. Talk about how communities are served by having food and groceries nearby. Talk to you tomorrow. There’ll be another realty idea of the day posted here.
