Realty Ideas Per Day

Songs from Graduation!

August 12, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

Hey, everyone, it’s Bob McCranie with Texas Pride Realty, and your Realty Idea of the Day is “Songs from the Year you Graduated High School or College.” So, everyone loves nostalgia. If you post a question on your social, you will get lots of answers, and of course, our interactions are based on them answering the question and then you answering back.

So, you’re going to ask the question, “What was your favorite song from the year you graduated?” They’re going to post a response. You’re going to respond to that response. That creates the Velcro so that later on, when you post about your open house or your new listing, Facebook goes, “Wow, they like to talk. They’ve talked about these other topics. Let’s show them the open house. Let’s show them the new listing.”

So, these are kind of Velcro posts that you’re going to do. Favorite song from the year you graduated, maybe it’s your favorite song of the summer. Maybe it’s favorite song of…whatever it is, you pick a category, but ask questions, and then get the responses, and then respond to the responses.

Bob McCranie, Texas Pride Realty. Your Realty Idea of the Day is favorite song from the year you graduated. Take care. Bye-bye.

Up & Coming Neighborhoods

August 11, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

Hey everyone, it’s Bob McCranie and your Realty Idea of the Day is “Up and Coming Areas in your Town.” So, I live in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. And one of the new up and coming areas is off of a highway called 380. So it’s way out of town. But it’s where all the new construction is going, because that’s where the land is available. Where are the up and coming areas of your town? Now in your area it may also be a development that has gone through some transition. Maybe there is a part of town that, like we have parts of Oak Cliff, where Oak Cliff is always in transition. Because, parts of it were built in the ’40s, ’50s, and ’60s, and things churn. People go buy them, they renovate. Or they tear down and they build new. So, East Dallas is kind of the same way. What is it in your area? Where are the up and coming trendy areas? Like I said, they can be trendy, or they can be where it’s kind of a niche community. It’s kind of a place where avant garde people are living. Where is the up and coming area in your town? Post it on your social. Bye.

For Sale By Odor

July 28, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

Okay, everybody, Bob McCranie with Texas Pride Realty, and today’s idea, wow what a stinker ha.

Today’s “Realty Idea of the Day” is for sale by odor. Let’s talk about when you’re selling a home and it smells really bad, how we counsel our sellers to remedy that. Let’s talk about how carpets and any fabrics in the home hold the smoke smell. Let’s talk about how carpets and flooring hold pet odors from, you know, pet urine and problems that the pets have had in the house.

Let’s talk about when they change their carpets and their flooring, that they need to seal the subfloor with a paint or something to keep the odors that have gone into the concrete or the wood sealed away. Let’s talk about the fact that people go, as the commercials say, they go nose-blind. They don’t smell it. They don’t think their house smells like an ashtray. They don’t think their house smells like 15 cats.

We have to be honest with people and talk about for sale by owner houses, and how that’s just not going to happen and it’s not going to be really good for them.

So anyway, Bob McCranie, Texas Pride Realty. Please don’t put like 17 Glad things on the wall and try to cover it up because we just see all the air fresheners, and we know better, and we can still smell it.

For sale by owner. Bob McCranie, Texas Pride Realty. There will be another “Realty Idea of the Day” posted tomorrow. Bye-bye.

Up & Coming

July 26, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

Hey, everybody. It’s Bob McCranie, with Texas Pride Realty. And your realty idea of the day is Up and Coming areas in your town. So, there’s always a cycle of development, appreciating values, declining values, renovation, or revitalization. Every community has that parabola, being new, being at their apex, starting to decline, and then having to go through revitalization. So, where are the areas in your town that are about to have to go through revitalization? Where maybe the values of the homes are depressed because the neighborhood needs some cleaning up?

So, people love to give in on that and they love to be part of that community growth and revitalizing it, and having their home be a place of pride in their community because they’re willing and the first to change the landscape and they repaint. And it also makes the area more affordable. So, and people in those areas, tend to have more appreciation because as the neighborhood revitalizes, it’s great for home values. So let’s talk about up and coming places in our community. Bob McCranie, Texas Pride Realty. There’ll be another realty idea of the day posted tomorrow. Bye-bye.

Granite Stores

July 23, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

Hey everybody, let’s take it for granted. Yeah, that didn’t work well. I was gonna say, “Let’s take it for granted, but it’s granite.” Anyway, Bob McCranie, Texas Pride Realty. You’re realty idea of the day is, let’s go tour the granite store.

Let’s go look at the stones that can be used for countertops in your kitchens, bathrooms, wherever it is you need a countertop installed or use a marble or stone. Let’s go talk about that. Sometimes you can use it on flooring.

There is, at least, 10 granite places that I know of in the Dallas-Fort Worth area that I could get to in 20 minutes. Let’s go look at the different types of stone, why some stone is more expensive than others. I know the granite stores that I go to, they grade them like, you know, the least expensive to the most expensive.

Probably, it’s because it’s harder to mine. You know, if you are an environmentalist, you can talk about the environmental impact of mining so much granite and stone and is granite still something that everybody wants in their kitchen?

Around here, everybody wants it, but maybe there’s a new product. Anyway, let’s talk about granite today. Let’s go to the granite store, take a lot of pictures, post them, put them on maps because Google Maps is the thing.

Let’s get out there and go tour the granite store and come up with ideas and solutions for our sphere. Take care. Bob McCranie. There’ll be another realty idea of the day posted tomorrow. Bye. Bye.
