Halloween Decor

September 21, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

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

So the other day I posted about Christmas decor. Today we’re going to talk about Halloween decor. And I know Halloween comes before Christmas, but one is more important than the other, but actually, they’re both really important. Halloween is an amazingly fun holiday if you make it such. All the stores will have out all the yard art, all the stuff that you can do, the projections on your house, the different swirly patterns and scary stuff too. So one, start thinking about where the best neighborhoods are to see decorations. Two, go to the store, find those decorations, show people where they are in your area so they can go get them. Three, maybe do a video at night going around to the houses in your neighborhood and maybe post this on next door. Post this on Facebook if you have a community page, go around and tell people about the great houses and the great decor in your neighborhood and where to find it. Be the social media leader in your neighborhood.

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

Senior Centers

September 16, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

Hey everyone. It’s Bob McCranie with Texas Pride Realty, and your realty idea of the day is very near and dear to my heart, senior centers. Okay. So a lot of cities in my area have their own senior facility. These are places that people can go during the day. They have activities, they have community centers, they are places that people can hang out in the heat and in the cold when their home may not be well insulated or well taken care of, they can go to these places and be safe and a lot of the times they can get a meal. So, find the senior centers in your area, find whatever’s available for seniors in your area. You might not just find the municipal ones, you also might find the ones that are private. Maybe there’s senior living facilities that you could talk about and places that mom and grandma could go to. So, find out about seniors in your area, be a source for that because you know what, seniors need to sell their houses and people who are caring for seniors need to have support. So, Bob McCranie, Texas Pride Realty. Bye-bye.

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.

Home & Garden Shows

September 12, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

Hey, everyone. It’s Bob McCranie with Texas Pride Realty, and your realty idea of the day is when we hit on in the spring and in the fall, home and garden shows. Now, in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, there are probably four home and garden shows throughout the year that people can go to. There’s usually 200 or 300 vendors there and they are doing everything from patios to roofing, to windows, to hot tubs we talked about the other day, to landscaping, to anything related to a home. Some people are doing things not related to homes like insurance policies and legal systems, the legal aid things. Anyway, go to these shows, take a thousand pictures and post them everywhere. Talk about each of the vendors. Maybe do a little video interview with each of the vendors. For the people who can’t get to the home and garden show, it’s a great way for you to bring it to them and for you to have a registered list of experts who can help with any facet of home improvement. And it’s a great way to get seen by people and then you can ask, “Hey, out of all these vendors, which one would you want for your home?” Anyway, put it all out there on your social. Talk to you tomorrow. Bye-bye.

Nine Eleven

September 11, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

Hey, everyone, it’s Bob McCranie with Texas Pride Realty. And today’s realty idea is gonna be very somber, 9/11. It’s interesting to me there are some people who were not old enough to remember 9/11 now. And for those of us who lived through it, it’s marked in our brains. So, maybe we talk today very quietly about the memorial. Maybe we talk today about what it meant to us and then we stay pretty much quiet the rest of the day and just listen. And that may be what we put on our social media is just a question. What does 9/11 mean to you? And see what the response is and then don’t really judge any responses, just say, “Thank you for the response,” build that connection. But today would be a day that I’m quiet and I will listen to what other people post on my thread and then tomorrow I will be much more active. So, take care. Have a great day. Keep safe.

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.

State Fair

September 4, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

Hey, everyone, it’s Bob McCranie with Texas Pride Realty and your realty idea of the day is the State Fair is coming up. So, if you’re not from Texas, in Texan Dallas, we have the State Fair. It comes in the middle of September, but now is the time to be planning what week you wanna go, how to get your discount tickets. There’s always fried foods and different things with the fair, different contests. So talk about what was your favorite fried food from last year. Like, they do fried Oreos, and fried hotdogs, and fried butter. Butter, why? I don’t know.

Anyway so it’s always a fun time and start talking about it now. Maybe you can plan an event with your sphere to go to the State Fair together, and that would be really cool. It’d be an outing. So, I’m gonna steal that idea. That’s a great idea.

So, what if you talked about on your social media about the State Fair? Maybe post some pictures from before that you’ve gone, and talk about going again today or this month as a group.

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.
