Electronic Door Locks

September 26, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

Hey, everyone, it’s Bob McCranie with Texas Pride Realty. And your realty idea of the day is electronic door locks. There are a lot of options right now in locks. You have the type to have the little keypad on the front, you have the type that only work with your phone app, you have so many different systems out there right now. You have Nest, you have Anchor, you have…I’m sorry, August, not Anchor. You have Nest, you have August, you have Kwikset has their own, I think Schlage has their own version of these. Let’s talk about which ones are the best, which ones you like, which ones maybe you’ve run into in your real estate practice and which ones you think are the best of the best. Go on consumer reports and find some information out on the reviews of these. Maybe go to your local locksmith and ask him which ones are easy to get into and which ones are the best for the world.

Anyway, electronic locks, everybody’s pretty much starting to use them. Let’s talk about those. Bob McCranie, realty ideas per day, there’ll be another realty idea of the day posted tomorrow. Bye-bye.

Ask A REALTOR

September 25, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

Hey, everyone. It’s Bob McCranie with Texas Pride Realty and my realty idea of the day is ask a realtor. So what if we just posted on social media, “I’m a real estate agent. Ask me any question.” Let’s just see what comes back. I think that’d be a great way to get a dialogue started. People may not know that they even have a question about an issue in real estate until you open the door and ask them.

So my realty idea of the day is let’s just put it out there, “I’m a realtor. Ask me a question.” Let’s see what comes back and I would post this across several of my social media. I would do at least Facebook, Twitter, and possibly Instagram on this and see what comes back. Maybe I don’t think this would be good for Pinterest. But just try it and see what comes back to you. And then tag me in the post. I wanna see what your answers are and how much traction you get on this. Ask a realtor day. Let’s come up with any questions they want and let’s come up with the answers to their questions, and be their real estate professional. Bob McCranie, Texas Pride Realty. There’ll be another realty idea of the day posted tomorrow.

State Fair of Texas

September 24, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

Hey, everyone. It’s Bob McCranie with Texas Pride Realty, and a few weeks ago, we talked about the State Fair of Texas was coming. If I timed this right, today should be the first day of the first week of the State Fair of Texas.

Now, if you have…if you’re not in Texas, well I feel sorry for you. But if you are in Texas, you need to make your way to the Texas State Fair. It is a huge place with lots of different games, lots of different rides, tons of food, and my favorite part of the fair is the car show. I like to go look at all the new cars and see what’s there. So take a ton of pictures at your fair, post them. A few weeks ago, we were trying to get people ready and be interested in the fair, it’s here now. So let’s go to it. Let’s take some pictures and post and interview some of the people at the fair. There’s so much arts and crafts, there’s livestock which I’m not so much on. But, there’s so many different aspects you can have. You could literally get 20 or 30 posts out of the State Fair of Texas or whatever city or state you live in.

Talk to you soon. Post them, tag me in them. I want to see them. Take care. Bye-bye.

Autumn Begins

September 22, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

Hey everyone. It’s Bob McCranie with Texas Pride Realty, and your realty idea of the day is Autumn Begins. If I timed this right today is the first day of Autumn. So let’s talk about how the summer went for us, let’s talk about the change of season, let’s talk about the things we need to do to get our home ready or get our yard ready for the change of season, let’s talk about what Autumn means to us. And then let’s invite people to talk back, let’s ask questions. Any of those things I just said could be turned into a question: What was your best part of the summer? What’s your hope for the Autumn? What are you looking forward to most in the new season? These are things that can be picture posts, they can be text posts, they can be across almost every social media, and frankly I think that there’s a lot of smaller social medias that aren’t being explored. So you can ask this on Pinterest, you can ask this on Nextdoor and not be seen as marketing. So ask questions, let’s get some dialogue going, and the subject of the day is Autumn.

Halloween Decor

September 21, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

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

So the other day I posted about Christmas decor. Today we’re going to talk about Halloween decor. And I know Halloween comes before Christmas, but one is more important than the other, but actually, they’re both really important. Halloween is an amazingly fun holiday if you make it such. All the stores will have out all the yard art, all the stuff that you can do, the projections on your house, the different swirly patterns and scary stuff too. So one, start thinking about where the best neighborhoods are to see decorations. Two, go to the store, find those decorations, show people where they are in your area so they can go get them. Three, maybe do a video at night going around to the houses in your neighborhood and maybe post this on next door. Post this on Facebook if you have a community page, go around and tell people about the great houses and the great decor in your neighborhood and where to find it. Be the social media leader in your neighborhood.

Traffic

September 20, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

Hey, everybody. It’s Bob McCranie with Texas Pride Realty, and if you know Dallas, you know traffic. So let’s talk about traffic in your city. What are people moving to your area need to know about traffic? What do they need to know about the roads? What do they need to know about the tollways? If you’re moving to Dallas-Fort Worth area, you need to know that we don’t have public transportation that’s worth anything. So you are going to be in a car and everybody here drives which kind of sucks because I wish we were more of a walking community. But in your area, if you’re moving to like the East Coast and you’re in Washington, D.C. or New York, you may be a walking community and traffic may not be something that you deal with on that level. But if you’re going further than the subway, you may need to take a car. So let’s talk about traffic in our area, which highways are available, which roads are tollways, and what it’s like to be you and drive. Maybe you get a GoPro, put it in your car. Post all this to social media, talk about traffic in your area. Take care. Bye-bye.

Flooring Choices

September 19, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

Hey, everyone. It’s Bob McCranie with Texas Pride Realty. So we’re going to hit on this one again, flooring choices.

So go to the home store of your choice and go look at the flooring section. Look at the different styles of carpet, look at the different styles of tile, Pergo, there’s all sorts of new vinyl product that looks like wood which I don’t think looks good in the house, but I think it looks good in an industrial setting or a commercial setting. Go find the flooring center of your choice, talk about the different products they have for sale there and the price points. Maybe you interview one of the local people to talk about installation and how that would work, but flooring is a big improvement that you can make in your home. If you go to sell a home that has crappy carpet or bad flooring, you’re not going to be able to sell it. So let’s give them choices and let’s have some video and some pictures so that as you’re doing a listing presentation, you can give them some ideas.

Yom Kippur

September 18, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

Hey, everyone, I just want to wish you a Happy Yom Kippur, and if this is not a holiday you know about, let’s go find out about it because it’s today.

So, we wanna recognize people of all faiths and cultures in our community, and we want to be open to everyone. So on your social media, I’m gonna urge you to celebrate not just the holidays you celebrate but celebrate the holidays you’ve never even heard of or maybe the holidays that you’ve heard of and you don’t know that much about. Be open to everyone and be a resource to your community.

So, Happy Yom Kippur to my Jewish friends, and there’ll be another realty idea of the day posted tomorrow. Bye-bye.

Downsizing

September 17, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

Hey, everyone. It’s Bob McCranie with Texas Pride Realty, and I don’t know if you can see the joke on my sign, but today’s realtor idea is people who are downsizing.So, we want to talk to people who have too much house. Maybe their kids just went off to college. Maybe there’s been a death in the family, a divorce, something. They have too much house, and they need a smaller home. So, we can find these people through a variety of ways. One would be by finding out who, you know, on our social media, just had a kid go off to college. Watch for those pictures. Maybe you can see on social media something about their change in family.But we want to find people who are downsizing. They will have a house to sell and a house to buy. So, we might even ask people in our sphere, “Hey. Who do you know that had somebody go off to college?” And then meet those people. “Who do you know that, maybe, has gone through a change of life?” And then go meet those people. Use your social media to find people and ask your sphere to help identify them. “Hey. Put me in contact with these folks. I’d love to help them.”Anyway. There’ll be another post tomorrow. Bye-bye.

Senior Centers

September 16, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

Hey everyone. It’s Bob McCranie with Texas Pride Realty, and your realty idea of the day is very near and dear to my heart, senior centers. Okay. So a lot of cities in my area have their own senior facility. These are places that people can go during the day. They have activities, they have community centers, they are places that people can hang out in the heat and in the cold when their home may not be well insulated or well taken care of, they can go to these places and be safe and a lot of the times they can get a meal. So, find the senior centers in your area, find whatever’s available for seniors in your area. You might not just find the municipal ones, you also might find the ones that are private. Maybe there’s senior living facilities that you could talk about and places that mom and grandma could go to. So, find out about seniors in your area, be a source for that because you know what, seniors need to sell their houses and people who are caring for seniors need to have support. So, Bob McCranie, Texas Pride Realty. Bye-bye.
