Spooky vs Fun

October 24, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

Hey everyone. It’s Bob McCranie with Texas Pride Realty, and if I timed this right, today’s the first day of October.

So the question I have for you today and you can ask your sphere of influences, do you do scary Halloween spooky? Or do you do fun Halloween? I like to do fun Halloween, I don’t like to be scared. So I don’t get all the scary movies that come out during the season and I don’t get into the vampires and werewolves, but I love the fun of Halloween. So this is something you can ask your sphere and you can post this as a poll on Facebook because Facebook loves polls now. If you’re not doing polls, you need to be doing polls. Find a picture of a vampire, a picture of something fun, and just ask people which version of Halloween they prefer. So this is going to be a great…you’ve got three great months here with three national holidays between, you know, the Christmas season, Thanksgiving season, Halloween season, harvest, whatever you want to call it, you’ve got ample opportunity. Get in front of people. Scary spooky or fun Halloween, which do you prefer?

There’ll be another Realty Idea of the Day posted tomorrow.

Never Too Late To Sell

September 30, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

Hey, everyone. It’s Bob McCranie with Texas Pride Realty. And your realty idea of the day is, is it too late to sell? Oh, my gosh. We’re at the end of September? Did I miss the whole thing? So, I don’t think it’s too late to sell personally, ever. I mean, during the holiday months, there are still people out there buying and selling a home. Lots of people generally go off the market for the holidays because they just don’t wanna be bothered, which means the houses that do stay on the market have a better percentage chance of being sold. And somebody is always coming down to see grandma at the holidays and deciding to move.

So, I don’t think it’s ever too late to try to sell your house. But your market may have a different philosophy. What do you feel? So go out there on social media today and talk about, “Hey. Yeah, the several months are gone. But we still have September, October…I’m sorry, October, November, December to get this done. Call me today.” Anyway, go out and make this post. Tag me in it. I’d love to see what you’re doing. And let’s see if we can get some of these last minute sales through the system. Bye-bye.

Electronic Door Locks

September 26, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

Hey, everyone, it’s Bob McCranie with Texas Pride Realty. And your realty idea of the day is electronic door locks. There are a lot of options right now in locks. You have the type to have the little keypad on the front, you have the type that only work with your phone app, you have so many different systems out there right now. You have Nest, you have Anchor, you have…I’m sorry, August, not Anchor. You have Nest, you have August, you have Kwikset has their own, I think Schlage has their own version of these. Let’s talk about which ones are the best, which ones you like, which ones maybe you’ve run into in your real estate practice and which ones you think are the best of the best. Go on consumer reports and find some information out on the reviews of these. Maybe go to your local locksmith and ask him which ones are easy to get into and which ones are the best for the world.

Anyway, electronic locks, everybody’s pretty much starting to use them. Let’s talk about those. Bob McCranie, realty ideas per day, there’ll be another realty idea of the day posted tomorrow. Bye-bye.

Autumn Begins

September 22, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

Hey everyone. It’s Bob McCranie with Texas Pride Realty, and your realty idea of the day is Autumn Begins. If I timed this right today is the first day of Autumn. So let’s talk about how the summer went for us, let’s talk about the change of season, let’s talk about the things we need to do to get our home ready or get our yard ready for the change of season, let’s talk about what Autumn means to us. And then let’s invite people to talk back, let’s ask questions. Any of those things I just said could be turned into a question: What was your best part of the summer? What’s your hope for the Autumn? What are you looking forward to most in the new season? These are things that can be picture posts, they can be text posts, they can be across almost every social media, and frankly I think that there’s a lot of smaller social medias that aren’t being explored. So you can ask this on Pinterest, you can ask this on Nextdoor and not be seen as marketing. So ask questions, let’s get some dialogue going, and the subject of the day is Autumn.

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.

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.

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.
