Flu Shots?

September 4, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

Hey, everyone, it’s Bob McCranie with Texas Pride Realty and your realty idea of the day is flu shots. So, it’s autumn and it’s the time that flu shots are being given out. There are so many locations giving them, but this is a good time to reach out to your sphere. One, mention all the locations where the flu shots are being given and, two, ask people, do they get them. There are some people who are impacted by having a lowered immunity. There are some people who don’t believe in flu shots or immunizations. I wouldn’t necessarily wanna be the subject matter expert, but I would certainly start the dialogue and see what people think.

So, flu shots, maybe have a list of where they can go. Maybe you have a little grouping and you say, “You know what? Let’s go get our flu shots together and that way we’ll be there for each other.” Have a great lunch afterward and just get to hang out. This will be a great way to meet up with your sphere.

Anyway, this is Bob McCranie, Texas Pride Realty. Go get your flu shot. I get mine every year. So, anyway post where you can get ’em, maybe have a group meeting about it or group session, and then go out and have a nice lunch afterward.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Coke vs Pepsi

August 17, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

Hey everyone! It’s Bob McCranie with Texas Pride Realty. And your Realty Idea of the Day is to start a fight. And the fight’s going to be: Do you like Coke, or do you like Pepsi? Now clearly I’m a Coca Cola person. I think it shows. I have class and good taste. So, I think they should change the name of the other product to “Is Pepsi Okay?” Because, when I walk in and order a Coke, the worst thing you can say to me is “Is Pepsi Okay?” Because, Pepsi is never okay. But what you’ll find, is that people have strong opinions about this. And this is a velcro post. You want to post this. You want to have a poll on Facebook. You want to post pictures of this on Instagram and maybe on Pinterest or whatever, just have a question: “Is it Pepsi, or is it Coke for you?” And then when people comment back and forth, be involved in their comments. Post back and forth about what they say. That creates the connection so that later when you post about your open house, they are going to see that. So, today it’s Coke versus Pepsi. And you know what? Coke is better. I’m just going to say it. Fight me. I dare you. Let’s comment. Take care. Bye bye.
