Battery Change

November 1, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

Hey, everyone. It’s Bob McCranie with Texas Pride Realty and your Realty Idea of the Day is time change, obviously, we’re gonna send that out, everybody remembers to send that out, but also, time to change the battery in your smoke detector.

So I’m huge about fire safety. If you watch me, I talk about fire safety at least two, three times a month if I can. Changing the batteries is important. Now, some smoke detectors are coming with lifelong batteries, that’s great. But there’s still a lot of smoke detectors out there that require the square 9-Volt batteries. I would go buy 20 or 30 9-Volt batteries and do a pop by and say, “Here’s two batteries, go change your smoke detectors. Do you need three, do you need just one? Do you need somebody to come in and, you know, if you can’t get on a ladder, do you want me to get up there and change it for you?”

Fire safety is incredibly important and we need to have working smoke detectors throughout the home. So talk about that. People will get the time change. They’ll understand that. They won’t remember to go change their batteries. Help them with that. Get some batteries. Take them around, hand them out to people. And then post about that on your Instagram, on your Facebook, on your Twitter. You can even do that on LinkedIn. And just talk about, “Hey, I’m out with Steve today and we’re changing batteries for people. If you need some, let me know.”

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

Your Halloween History

October 31, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

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

So, you know, we don’t want to get into anything too controversial about the roots of Halloween and where it came from historically, but maybe you can go into what Halloween meant to you as a kid. Maybe you can talk about some of your costumes growing up that either you made or your folks helped you make.

I remember when I was growing up, we had these big plastic masks that held on with elastic and the kind of nylon suits when I was like 5 or 7 years old. And then my mom made some costumes which are really cool. But the store-bought things were just kind of clunky and awful. Maybe you can have some pictures, if you have them, of you as a kid in Halloween costumes.

Talk about the history of Halloween as it meant to you. What was your favorite candy to get in the bag? What was something that your folks warned you about? “Watch out for the guy down the street with the knife.” Or no, no. Did you go out to haunted houses as kids? What was it about Halloween as a kid in your history that made that important to you? Go on your social media, do a video about it, post some pictures, get as many comments as you can and then comment back.

Trick or Treat Driving

October 30, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

Now is a great time to remind people that small kids will be out in big costumes focused on candy. They won’t be looking both ways and drivers need to be more alert.

Best Chili Recipes

October 27, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

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

Now, this is one that you can ask people to contribute pictures or text recipes, however, they want to do it. I love watching the little video recipes. I don’t cook, I watch how they make stuff, anyway. So the best chili recipe, which one is the best for you, which one is your sphere…maybe you have a chili cook-off, maybe this will lead to an event where you can have your clients come in and test all the different chilies and offer a prize and be in the middle of it all.

So best chili recipes. Now I know regions have different styles of chili. I know Texas supposedly, you don’t put beans in Texas chili. I like beans in chili, so I must not be from Texas. And then you have things like Cincinnati chili, which is served over spaghetti and it’s sweet and it’s actually really good. So every region has a different idea of what chili is, just like they have a different idea of barbecue. So let’s talk about that and get the best recipes and post them on our social media.

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

New Social Media

October 26, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

Hey, everyone. It’s Bob McCranie with Texas Pride Realty, and if you’re like most people who are real estate agents, social media is something you put up with, and it’s not really what you love. Unlike me, I love it. So my challenge to you today is let’s add a new social media to your group. So one thing you could do is go on the social media that you have like Facebook or Instagram and ask, “Hey, what other social media platforms are you on? I’m growing. I want to know where to move my next platform to.” It could be YouTube, it could be Instagram, it could be Snapchat. It could be whatever you wanna do. Quora is a new one. So let’s go and talk about where the new social media platform is and which one you want to go to. And frankly, you can Google this because there’s a lot of new platforms that we don’t even know what the next one’s gonna be. So, what is the new social media platform? Ask your current sphere where they see their friends going to and then join it. Take care. Bye-bye.

Leasing Homes

October 25, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

Hey, everyone. Bob McCranie with Texas Pride Realty and your Realty Ideas Per Day is leasing homes. Now, we all know that buying a home is your best investment because you’re going to be building equity versus paying for somebody else’s equity in their lease home. But sometimes you just have to. Sometimes you either don’t have the down payment or you’re only going to be living in an area for a short time. Leases are there. So let’s talk about how much it cost to lease a home in your area, what makes a really great tenant if you’ve got a lot of convictions and some bankruptcies, and 17 cats. You’re probably not gonna be a good tenant. So let’s talk about the pricing in the area, the best way to strategize to get your tenant application put through, and maybe what landlords are looking for right now. Anyway, Bob McCranie, Texas Pride Realty. Let’s talk about leasing houses in your market. Take care. Bye-bye.

Candy Corn!

October 24, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

This is Bob McCranie with Texas Pride Realty and your Realty Idea of the Day is candy corn. Now, I never realized what a national crisis would ensue when I let people know that I love candy corn because apparently, some people just can’t stand it. Candy corn is amazing, I love it but… So put it out to your group and your sphere on Facebook or on whatever social media you want to. Do you like candy corn, or do you hate it? You will find people are one way or the other, they’re not both. So get in the middle of that. It’s kinda like the Coke and Pepsi challenge. Some people love Coke, some people love…very few people love Pepsi, let’s be honest. So let’s talk about candy corn. Let’s talk about what candy during the Halloween holiday can you just not go without, every Halloween you gotta have it. So anyway, candy, candy corn, Halloween. Let’s talk about that, let’s have some Facebook polls. And we’ll see what we want for our trick or treat bags this year. Take care. Bye-bye.

Spooky vs Fun

October 24, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

Hey everyone. It’s Bob McCranie with Texas Pride Realty, and if I timed this right, today’s the first day of October.

So the question I have for you today and you can ask your sphere of influences, do you do scary Halloween spooky? Or do you do fun Halloween? I like to do fun Halloween, I don’t like to be scared. So I don’t get all the scary movies that come out during the season and I don’t get into the vampires and werewolves, but I love the fun of Halloween. So this is something you can ask your sphere and you can post this as a poll on Facebook because Facebook loves polls now. If you’re not doing polls, you need to be doing polls. Find a picture of a vampire, a picture of something fun, and just ask people which version of Halloween they prefer. So this is going to be a great…you’ve got three great months here with three national holidays between, you know, the Christmas season, Thanksgiving season, Halloween season, harvest, whatever you want to call it, you’ve got ample opportunity. Get in front of people. Scary spooky or fun Halloween, which do you prefer?

There’ll be another Realty Idea of the Day posted tomorrow.

Never Too Late To Sell

September 30, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

Hey, everyone. It’s Bob McCranie with Texas Pride Realty. And your realty idea of the day is, is it too late to sell? Oh, my gosh. We’re at the end of September? Did I miss the whole thing? So, I don’t think it’s too late to sell personally, ever. I mean, during the holiday months, there are still people out there buying and selling a home. Lots of people generally go off the market for the holidays because they just don’t wanna be bothered, which means the houses that do stay on the market have a better percentage chance of being sold. And somebody is always coming down to see grandma at the holidays and deciding to move.

So, I don’t think it’s ever too late to try to sell your house. But your market may have a different philosophy. What do you feel? So go out there on social media today and talk about, “Hey. Yeah, the several months are gone. But we still have September, October…I’m sorry, October, November, December to get this done. Call me today.” Anyway, go out and make this post. Tag me in it. I’d love to see what you’re doing. And let’s see if we can get some of these last minute sales through the system. Bye-bye.

Pool’s Closed

September 29, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

Hey, everyone. It’s Bob McCranie with Texas Pride Realty and your Realty Idea of the Day is getting your pool ready for the winter.

So, I love my pool. I’m out in it not nearly enough during the summer months and the spring months and anytime the pool heater’s working. But during the winter you need to know how to maintain it. Now, some people cover their pools. I personally don’t because I found I had a floating cover and the leaves and all the problems got under the cover I didn’t notice. So I don’t cover my pool because I want to be able to visually see under the pool cover and know what’s going on. But some people in different parts of the country have different ideas. Now, an above ground pool has to be treated differently.

So go out there and maybe interview a pool person and put that on your social media, talk about how people with pools need to protect their pools through the winter months, and that way also people who are thinking about getting a house with a pool could contact you to buy their home.

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