Homecoming Season

September 13, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

Hey everyone, it’s Bob McCranie with Texas Pride Realty, and your realty idea of the day is homecoming season. Now, I won’t tell you how long it’s been since I was in high school, but here in Texas when it’s homecoming season, all the girls wear these huge mums and you would think they’d be this size. No, they’re like the size of the front of a Buick. So mums are an important culture item down here. What’s an important culture item for homecoming where you’re at? You obviously have the homecoming game, the homecoming dance. What is it about high school and homecoming that you could talk about?

You also might put out a little schedule about where all the homecomings are for each high school, so people know which weekend, which high school is going to have their big parade and their big event. So you can also talk about teen drinking. You can also talk about being a responsible community member, and doing things for the high school. So, anyway, find a way to talk about high schools, education in your area, homecoming and celebrating what these kids are going through. So, anyway, Bob McCranie, Texas Pride Realty, Class of ’85. Take care. Bye-bye.

Hot Tubs

September 10, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

Hey everybody. It’s Bob McCranie with Texas Pride Realty, and your realty idea of the day is hot tubs. Now, hot tubs have a lot of different varieties. There are some that are inexpensive, there are some that have jets all over the place, they have lighting, they have music, they have a pop-up TV. Hot tubs are an affordable way to have a water feature, basically, in your back yard without having to dig a pool. So go to the hot tub store, take some pictures, take some video, show the different models and the different price points. Now in Texas, in Dallas we have the Home and Garden Show which about 17 spa companies come to, so it’s easy to get a lot of these pictures. But if you don’t have that, run to one of the stores around you and talk about hot tubs. It’s something that you would not imagine how many people are interested in and also you can talk about hot tub maintenance. Now on mine I know that during the summer I drain it because I don’t keep it running during the…it’s 110 degrees so why do I need a hot tub? But be sure you drain it so it doesn’t become a mosquito haven. Anyway, Bob McCranie, Texas Pride Realty. There’ll be another realty idea of the day posted tomorrow. Bye-bye.

Dining Rooms

September 8, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

Hey, everybody. It’s Bob McCranie with Texas Pride Realty, and your realty idea of the day is to talk about dining rooms. Everybody has one in their house, most people have used them for something totally different, or it’s the least used part of your house because you eat in the kitchen. But the holidays are coming and dining rooms will become much more important as family gathers and grandkids come over, and you need more space. My fiance and I, we serve Thanksgiving for 40 people and it’s usually outside because I just can’t get 40 people in my house. So, what I would want you to talk about is what are the dining room options for the holidays. Maybe post some pictures from Pinterest about dining rooms that have been well-decorated or made festive for the… Now is the time to start planning this. You don’t just plan Thanksgiving two days before. You need to be planning it now. So get online and start talking to your sphere about what their holiday plans are and how they’re gonna use their dining room, and dress it up. And by the way, if you need a larger dining room, call me, I can help sell you a house. Take care. Bye-bye.

Insurance Issues

September 8, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

Hey, everybody, it’s Bob McCranie with Texas Pride Realty. And your realty idea of the day is homeowners insurance. I can’t talk. Homeowners insurance is an important thing. So in Texas, and this is where I want you to have an insurance person be on your video with you or interview an insurance person for this one. In Texas, there’s an A policy and a B policy. A policy is what we’re all used to. Your home is insured for everything except for acts of war. Policy B is you’re insured for fire, theft, and tornadoes. You’re not insured for anything else. So here we have an inclusive policy, that’s the policy A, and an exclusive policy, which is policy B. I would want to have an insurance guy talking about this because he’s gonna know more than me and I would sit through and interview them and then send it out to my sphere and send it on my social media and advertise for both of us. Talk to your insurance people, ask them what the best sort of policy is, make some videos about it, post it to social media, be the informed person in your circle. Take care. Bye-bye.

Favorite Part of the Season!

September 5, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

Hey everybody, its Bob McCranie with Texas Pride Pride Realty, and your realty idea of the day is, “Ask people what their favorite part of the changing season is.” So, for some people, it’s the pumpkin spice latte, which I can still never say with a straight face. I don’t drink coffee, but everybody loves pumpkin spice latte, so…or pumpkin spice biscuits or pumpkin spice whatever. Pumpkin becomes everything. What is your favorite part of the holiday? Maybe you share what your favorite part is or you just go out there and ask. Put out a poll and say, “What is your favorite part of the changing season? Now, the reason we’re doing this, it seems it has nothing to do with real estate, it has everything to do with real estate because what we’re doing is we’re building the connectivity. Always be asking questions. When somebody answers the question, answer back. Always be responding to questions. Don’t just go like, respond, respond, respond. That way when we are talking about, you know, the change of the season, the autumn leaves, whatever, Facebook goes, oh my gosh, these people like to talk and then when you post an open house it’ll show up to them. Take Care. Bob McCranie, realty ideas per day. There will be another realty idea in your mailbox tomorrow.

Autumn Leaves

September 4, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

Hey, everyone, it’s Bob McCranie with Texas Pride Realty and your realty idea of the day is autumn leaves. Now, if you live in the New England area or you live up on the northern part of the country, your autumn leaves are probably starting about now, so you should probably get out there and tell people where they should go and watch the autumn leaves, where’s the best place to get those vantage shots of the wide field of colors or the mountain ranges changing.

I live in Texas, so we’re gonna get a week and a half of autumn leaves and then they’ll be done. So, we won’t know exactly when that’s gonna hit. Probably it’ll be in October, but now’s the time to start posting about the change of season. Start talking about where in your area they can see natural beauty. Out here we have an arboretum that does a really great fall show, but you wanna get to it early because if you go a little later in the season, the fall show’s kind of peaked.

So, anyway, start talking about autumn leaves on your social media. Post pictures. Tell people where to go to get those great shots of their family.

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.

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.
