Plantings for the Fall

August 30, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

Hey, everyone. It’s Bob McCranie with Texas Pride Realty and your Realty Idea of the Day is plantings for fall.

So now is the time to be considering what you need to put in the ground for your fall harvest. Obviously, we’re gonna be having our pumpkins and everything like that. There’ll be most posts about that coming up. But what is it that we need to put in the ground now so that it’ll be ready for winter or will come back up in the spring?

So if you live in a colder zone, I know there are planting protocols you need to do to have things in the ground now for spring flowers. I know that you can put some bulbs in the ground now so they’ll be ready for the spring.

I’m not a gardener. I will admit this. But there are organic gardening sites for each zone of the country, each area of the country, each temperature zone that you can go out and reference and talk to people about what they could do to their yard to be ready for next spring. Now’s the time to get the fall plantings in.

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

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.

Pet Adoptions!

August 28, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

Hey, everyone. It’s Bob McCranie with Texas Pride Realty and our Realty Idea of the Day is pet adoptions.

So there are two or three ways we can take this. One, we can feature the website of a local pet shelter and feature some of the animals who really desperately need a home. We can actually go to those shelters and maybe make a video of us holding each of the animals and how much this dog is so cute and this kitty is so cute, whatever. Or we can go and host a pet adoption at our place of business. I know a couple of brokerages around me here, they have pet adoption days at their brokerage on Saturdays.

Come out, adopt a pet, spend some time… Do you have a pet-friendly office? Do you need a cat for your office? Do you need whatever? Maybe there’s somebody who would help with adoptions.

The other thing you could do is ask the different adoption facilities, do they need food, do they need donations, do they need people to just come, you know, work with the pets and be there.

Anyway, Bob McCranie, pet adoption, super important in your area. Take care. Bye-bye.

Grocery Stores

August 22, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

Hey, everyone. It’s Bob McCranie with Texas Pride Realty. And today’s realty idea of the day is “Grocery Stores.” So there’s been a lot of talk in some urban parts of Dallas, and other cities I’m sure, there are what they call food deserts. There are no grocery stores within five miles of the homes that are built there. Maybe the area is economically depressed, for whatever reason all the grocery stores have flown from that part of the city. Excuse me, so we can talk about one, your favorite place that’s around you to go grocery shop. You can talk about the higher end grocery stores if you want to go to a Whole Foods, or something like that. You can also talk about areas where there’s maybe a mom and pop grocery store. Here there’s a lot of ethnic grocery stores. There’s a there’s a huge Korean market and Chinese market and Indian markets. There are sublets of different cultural grocery stores around here too. So talk about grocery stores, talk about how grocery stores build a community. Talk about how communities are served by having food and groceries nearby. Talk to you tomorrow. There’ll be another realty idea of the day posted here.

Foundation Repairs

August 20, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

Hey, everyone. It’s Bob McCranie with Texas Pride Realty. And your realty idea of the day is “Foundation Repairs.” So if you live in a pier and beam house or a slab foundation house, I honestly I don’t know if you have this problem with houses with basements, but in the two that I just mentioned you’re going to have issues with foundation over time especially in Texas. We are built on a clay soil and that soil will shift depending on how much moisture is kept in the soil and, you know, how well the builder did building the foundation. So we want to talk about foundation repairs, structural engineers, having a structural engineer report run before you buy home and talking about foundation repair companies and the pitfalls people can run into with those. So you want to have a foundation company that has a lifetime transferable warranty. You wanna know the terms of that transfer. Some of them say, “If you don’t transfer it in 30 days after selling the house, the warranty is void” So let’s talk about foundation repairs, the best companies out there. Bob McCranie. There’ll be another realty idea of the day posted tomorrow.

Dog Days of Summer

August 18, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

Hey, everyone. It’s Bob McCranie. And your realty idea of the day is the “Dog Days of Summer “So this can go many directions. Let’s talk about one, our pets being out in the heat, maybe we can talk about pet rescue, maybe we can use dog days of summer in some sort of way to benefit our pets and in the pet charity so we love. We can also talk about the actual origin of the word, origin phrase “Dog Days of Summer” is apparently when the constellation Sirius comes up in the sky, which is a dog. So they call it the “Dog Days of Summer” because that’s when the constellation appear.

It’s also associated with the hottest, meanest, grumpiest time of summer. So this will be middle of August and it will be hot. So let’s talk about one, keeping people cool, being sure their air conditioner is still working. We talked about that before. Let’s go out and talk about our pets being cool. Let’s use the “Dog Days of Summer” anyway we want to and make big posts about it. Take care. Bye-bye.

Coke vs Pepsi

August 17, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

Hey everyone! It’s Bob McCranie with Texas Pride Realty. And your Realty Idea of the Day is to start a fight. And the fight’s going to be: Do you like Coke, or do you like Pepsi? Now clearly I’m a Coca Cola person. I think it shows. I have class and good taste. So, I think they should change the name of the other product to “Is Pepsi Okay?” Because, when I walk in and order a Coke, the worst thing you can say to me is “Is Pepsi Okay?” Because, Pepsi is never okay. But what you’ll find, is that people have strong opinions about this. And this is a velcro post. You want to post this. You want to have a poll on Facebook. You want to post pictures of this on Instagram and maybe on Pinterest or whatever, just have a question: “Is it Pepsi, or is it Coke for you?” And then when people comment back and forth, be involved in their comments. Post back and forth about what they say. That creates the connection so that later when you post about your open house, they are going to see that. So, today it’s Coke versus Pepsi. And you know what? Coke is better. I’m just going to say it. Fight me. I dare you. Let’s comment. Take care. Bye bye.

Family Reunions

August 16, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

Hey, everybody, it’s Bob McCranie with Texas Pride Realty, and your Realty Idea of the Day is family reunions. We all love nostalgia. So, there’s two or three ways you can take this assignment. You can do, actually, “Hey, we’re having a family reunion. Where’s a good place to have one?” Two, you can go back through some old photographs and find Aunt Gertrude or whoever it is, Uncle Bill, and post some pictures of how people looked in the ’70s, pictures of the cars, pictures of the hairstyles. You know, the women had the big hair. The men had the buzz cuts or the long hair, the hippie, you know, whatever. Post something about nostalgia. Post something about family and reunion and bringing people back together. Invite people to post their memories of their family reunions and make it a collaborative thing.

So, today’s assignment is family reunions. Go out and talk about either having one soon or maybe talk about the ones you’ve been to in the past and show some pictures. Anyway, there’ll be another Realty Idea of the Day posted tomorrow. Take care. Bye-bye.

Ask For Referrals!

August 13, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

Hey, everyone, it’s Bob McCranie with Texas Pride Realty, and your Realty Idea of the Day is to simply ask for referrals. I’m going to do one right now. Hey, everybody, I’m Bob McCranie with Texas Pride Realty, and I serve the Dallas-Fort Worth area. So, if you have anybody moving here, I will happily pay you a referral. Send them to me. My number is 972-754-0582.

Now, you take that exact same thing, make a video of your own, post it on your social, and ask people in your area for a referral. Now, if they’re not licensed, you can’t offer them a commission, that makes sense, but you can say, “Hey, I live my whole career off of the referrals of friends and neighbors and past clients. Would you please send me just one person who’s looking to buy or sell a house?” Go ahead and make the ask. So many people in life don’t ask for the business. Don’t be one of those people.

Anyway, Bob McCranie, Texas Pride Realty. Go out and ask for business today. Let’s see what we can churn up in the way of referrals. Take care. There’ll be another Realty Idea of the Day posted tomorrow. Bye-bye.
