Window Replacement

August 21, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

Hey, everyone. It’s Bob McCranie with Texas Pride Realty. And your realty idea of the day is “Window replacements.” So if you own an older home, you may have single pane windows, you may have some double pane windows that are fogged. Unless you have a brand new home you don’t have the latest state-of-the-art low E amazing windows. So window replacement is expensive. I will admit that. So go out and go to the Home and Garden Show or go interview some window replacement companies and find out what the trends are, whether your area is having any discounts, whether there’s anything about your area that is particular to windows.

Like out here we have excessive heat, does that help void the windows faster than excessive cold? Don’t know. That’s a good question to ask. So right now I know there’s double pane windows. I’ve heard there’s triple pane windows out there as well. Obviously, you have the low E energy efficient windows, go out and find out more about windows post about it and become a resource for your sphere of influence. Talk to you tomorrow. There’ll be another realty idea of the day posted here. Bye-bye.

Foundation Repairs

August 20, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

Hey, everyone. It’s Bob McCranie with Texas Pride Realty. And your realty idea of the day is “Foundation Repairs.” So if you live in a pier and beam house or a slab foundation house, I honestly I don’t know if you have this problem with houses with basements, but in the two that I just mentioned you’re going to have issues with foundation over time especially in Texas. We are built on a clay soil and that soil will shift depending on how much moisture is kept in the soil and, you know, how well the builder did building the foundation. So we want to talk about foundation repairs, structural engineers, having a structural engineer report run before you buy home and talking about foundation repair companies and the pitfalls people can run into with those. So you want to have a foundation company that has a lifetime transferable warranty. You wanna know the terms of that transfer. Some of them say, “If you don’t transfer it in 30 days after selling the house, the warranty is void” So let’s talk about foundation repairs, the best companies out there. Bob McCranie. There’ll be another realty idea of the day posted tomorrow.

Back to School

August 19, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

I’m really sorry kids. I have to do this one. It’s really bad, I know. This is by Bob McCranie, Texas Pride Realty, and it’s back to school time. Sorry guys. You gotta go. Let’s talk about driving safer in the mornings and the evenings because kids will be getting on and off buses and walking home. Let’s talk about school safety. School safety is incredibly important right now with all the crazies and craziness in the world. Let’s talk about just basic needs. Maybe there are people who need backpacks and need school supplies. Let’s talk about our teachers. We had that topic a few weeks ago. Let’s talk about teachers and what they need in the world. I mean, we can interview some of them. Let’s go interview the crosswalk guards. Let’s go interview the cafeteria people. Maybe there are people that need help with the lunch ticket every week for their kids. Let’s find a way to talk about schools. We did one the other week about, you know, the best schools in the area. But let’s talk about back to school and the physicality of actually going to school and what the kids need. Anyway, Bob McCranie. There will be another Realty Idea of the Day posted tomorrow. Bye-bye.

Dog Days of Summer

August 18, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

Hey, everyone. It’s Bob McCranie. And your realty idea of the day is the “Dog Days of Summer “So this can go many directions. Let’s talk about one, our pets being out in the heat, maybe we can talk about pet rescue, maybe we can use dog days of summer in some sort of way to benefit our pets and in the pet charity so we love. We can also talk about the actual origin of the word, origin phrase “Dog Days of Summer” is apparently when the constellation Sirius comes up in the sky, which is a dog. So they call it the “Dog Days of Summer” because that’s when the constellation appear.

It’s also associated with the hottest, meanest, grumpiest time of summer. So this will be middle of August and it will be hot. So let’s talk about one, keeping people cool, being sure their air conditioner is still working. We talked about that before. Let’s go out and talk about our pets being cool. Let’s use the “Dog Days of Summer” anyway we want to and make big posts about it. Take care. Bye-bye.

Best Parks

August 16, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

 

Hey, everyone. It’s Bob McCranie. And your realty idea of the day is “Best Parks.” So every city, at least in Dallas, I mean all the suburbs and the city of Dallas have parks. I mean, which ones are the best? And which ones are the best for what? So we have some parks have a good for hiking and biking. We have some parks that are good for kids. We have some water parks that are kinda like splash parks. Splash parks are the new way of doing a pool, I guess. So which ones are out there for you?

We also have nature preserves, we have hiking trails, we have all sorts of things in our parks and recs. Now the other thing you might do is if you’re in your city you want you might go interview the person who’s in charge of the parks department for your city. Talk about what their future expansion plans are, maybe where are they going to put the next kid’s park? What equipment are they seeing that they’re gonna phase in or phase out? What is it that they’re doing in the future with their pools? Parks are an important part of every city. Let’s talk about them and tell people where the best ones are. Bob McCranie. There’ll be another realty idea of the day posted tomorrow. Bye-bye.

Family Reunions

August 16, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

Hey, everybody, it’s Bob McCranie with Texas Pride Realty, and your Realty Idea of the Day is family reunions. We all love nostalgia. So, there’s two or three ways you can take this assignment. You can do, actually, “Hey, we’re having a family reunion. Where’s a good place to have one?” Two, you can go back through some old photographs and find Aunt Gertrude or whoever it is, Uncle Bill, and post some pictures of how people looked in the ’70s, pictures of the cars, pictures of the hairstyles. You know, the women had the big hair. The men had the buzz cuts or the long hair, the hippie, you know, whatever. Post something about nostalgia. Post something about family and reunion and bringing people back together. Invite people to post their memories of their family reunions and make it a collaborative thing.

So, today’s assignment is family reunions. Go out and talk about either having one soon or maybe talk about the ones you’ve been to in the past and show some pictures. Anyway, there’ll be another Realty Idea of the Day posted tomorrow. Take care. Bye-bye.

Ask For Referrals!

August 13, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

Hey, everyone, it’s Bob McCranie with Texas Pride Realty, and your Realty Idea of the Day is to simply ask for referrals. I’m going to do one right now. Hey, everybody, I’m Bob McCranie with Texas Pride Realty, and I serve the Dallas-Fort Worth area. So, if you have anybody moving here, I will happily pay you a referral. Send them to me. My number is 972-754-0582.

Now, you take that exact same thing, make a video of your own, post it on your social, and ask people in your area for a referral. Now, if they’re not licensed, you can’t offer them a commission, that makes sense, but you can say, “Hey, I live my whole career off of the referrals of friends and neighbors and past clients. Would you please send me just one person who’s looking to buy or sell a house?” Go ahead and make the ask. So many people in life don’t ask for the business. Don’t be one of those people.

Anyway, Bob McCranie, Texas Pride Realty. Go out and ask for business today. Let’s see what we can churn up in the way of referrals. Take care. There’ll be another Realty Idea of the Day posted tomorrow. Bye-bye.

Songs from Graduation!

August 12, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

 

Hey, everyone, it’s Bob McCranie with Texas Pride Realty, and your Realty Idea of the Day is “Songs from the Year you Graduated High School or College.” So, everyone loves nostalgia. If you post a question on your social, you will get lots of answers, and of course, our interactions are based on them answering the question and then you answering back.

So, you’re going to ask the question, “What was your favorite song from the year you graduated?” They’re going to post a response. You’re going to respond to that response. That creates the Velcro so that later on, when you post about your open house or your new listing, Facebook goes, “Wow, they like to talk. They’ve talked about these other topics. Let’s show them the open house. Let’s show them the new listing.”

So, these are kind of Velcro posts that you’re going to do. Favorite song from the year you graduated, maybe it’s your favorite song of the summer. Maybe it’s favorite song of…whatever it is, you pick a category, but ask questions, and then get the responses, and then respond to the responses.

Bob McCranie, Texas Pride Realty. Your Realty Idea of the Day is favorite song from the year you graduated. Take care. Bye-bye.

New Construction!

August 11, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

 

Hey everybody! It’s Bob McCranie with Texas Pride Realty and your Realty Idea of the Day is “New Construction.” I’m getting tongue tangled all over the place. So, new construction. So, I love to go tour new construction homes. Take a lot of pictures. I go interview the new construction rep. They usually are sitting out in their model homes pretty bored over the week. So go on a Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. Maybe go when you don’t think anybody is going to be there. Spend some quality time. Really take excellent pictures, like it was your listing. Go out and focus on new home construction. Look at how it’s being built. Look at the interiors they are doing. Look at the insulation. Look at the way that they are fabricating their homes. So that when somebody says, “Hey, I love this, this, and this in a home”, you already know which builder to go to. Plus you are going to know which builders are giving you the best referrals and commissions. So go out, look at new home construction. Go tour them. Go take pictures and post them all over your social. And I mean everyone of your social medias, post them there. There will be another idea tomorrow. Bye-bye.
