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.

Tubs vs Showers
Hey, everybody. Bob McCranie with Texas Pride Realty. And your realty idea of the day is one that we all go through with our buyer or our clients. Showers versus tubs. Are tubs necessary anymore? If you don’t have small children, that’s a really good question. So, some people love to soak in a tub. I don’t have statistics on it, but I would probably say it’s maybe 10% of the population. I’m totally pulling that out of the air. So, maybe we run a poll. Maybe we run a poll on Facebook and any of our social media. Do you want a tub in your next house or a shower? And let’s find out is the tub coming into style, going out of style? Some people love the foot tubs. I don’t like them because I like to shower and when you’re in one of those, the shower curtain moves in because the air pressure from the shower, don’t like it. So, there are a lot of fancy showers out there with all the different nozzles and heads and things like that. So, let’s talk about showers versus tubs and see what our sphere is wanting. And frankly, if they don’t like their bathroom, let’s go sell them a new house. Talk to you later. Bye-bye.
Dining Rooms
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
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!
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
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.
