Candy Corn!

October 24, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

This is Bob McCranie with Texas Pride Realty and your Realty Idea of the Day is candy corn. Now, I never realized what a national crisis would ensue when I let people know that I love candy corn because apparently, some people just can’t stand it. Candy corn is amazing, I love it but… So put it out to your group and your sphere on Facebook or on whatever social media you want to. Do you like candy corn, or do you hate it? You will find people are one way or the other, they’re not both. So get in the middle of that. It’s kinda like the Coke and Pepsi challenge. Some people love Coke, some people love…very few people love Pepsi, let’s be honest. So let’s talk about candy corn. Let’s talk about what candy during the Halloween holiday can you just not go without, every Halloween you gotta have it. So anyway, candy, candy corn, Halloween. Let’s talk about that, let’s have some Facebook polls. And we’ll see what we want for our trick or treat bags this year. Take care. Bye-bye.

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.

Shrubs & Trees

September 28, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

Hey, everyone. It’s Bob McCranie with Texas Pride Realty, and your realty idea of the day is shrubs and trees. So, it’s going into the colder season, and I know in Texas, this is the time that people really prune back their Crape Myrtles almost too much, and they consider pruning back the trees. I would talk to an arborist in your area since there are so many zones in the country, you know, cold, warm zones… I don’t know planting that well, but I would talk to an arborist, and I’d go online to find some ideas for what you need to be doing to your trees and your shrubs so that they survive the winter.

Now I know in some parts of the country, you have to wrap them in burlap and try to shelter certain plants during the cold season. Now is the time to be prepared for that, as opposed to, “Oh my God, we’re having a cold snap tomorrow. We’re not ready.” It’s also time to cover your faucets if you’re in the colder areas. Get your faucet covers ready because when we have that first cold snap, you don’t want to be running out there pulling the hoses off. So, shrubs and trees, and faucets. Anyway, Bob McCranie, Texas Pride Realty. There will be another realty idea of the day posted tomorrow. 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.

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

Traffic

September 20, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

Hey, everybody. It’s Bob McCranie with Texas Pride Realty, and if you know Dallas, you know traffic. So let’s talk about traffic in your city. What are people moving to your area need to know about traffic? What do they need to know about the roads? What do they need to know about the tollways? If you’re moving to Dallas-Fort Worth area, you need to know that we don’t have public transportation that’s worth anything. So you are going to be in a car and everybody here drives which kind of sucks because I wish we were more of a walking community. But in your area, if you’re moving to like the East Coast and you’re in Washington, D.C. or New York, you may be a walking community and traffic may not be something that you deal with on that level. But if you’re going further than the subway, you may need to take a car. So let’s talk about traffic in our area, which highways are available, which roads are tollways, and what it’s like to be you and drive. Maybe you get a GoPro, put it in your car. Post all this to social media, talk about traffic in your area. Take care. Bye-bye.

Yom Kippur

September 18, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

Hey, everyone, I just want to wish you a Happy Yom Kippur, and if this is not a holiday you know about, let’s go find out about it because it’s today.

So, we wanna recognize people of all faiths and cultures in our community, and we want to be open to everyone. So on your social media, I’m gonna urge you to celebrate not just the holidays you celebrate but celebrate the holidays you’ve never even heard of or maybe the holidays that you’ve heard of and you don’t know that much about. Be open to everyone and be a resource to your community.

So, Happy Yom Kippur to my Jewish friends, and there’ll be another realty idea of the day posted tomorrow. Bye-bye.

Downsizing

September 17, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

Hey, everyone. It’s Bob McCranie with Texas Pride Realty, and I don’t know if you can see the joke on my sign, but today’s realtor idea is people who are downsizing.So, we want to talk to people who have too much house. Maybe their kids just went off to college. Maybe there’s been a death in the family, a divorce, something. They have too much house, and they need a smaller home. So, we can find these people through a variety of ways. One would be by finding out who, you know, on our social media, just had a kid go off to college. Watch for those pictures. Maybe you can see on social media something about their change in family.But we want to find people who are downsizing. They will have a house to sell and a house to buy. So, we might even ask people in our sphere, “Hey. Who do you know that had somebody go off to college?” And then meet those people. “Who do you know that, maybe, has gone through a change of life?” And then go meet those people. Use your social media to find people and ask your sphere to help identify them. “Hey. Put me in contact with these folks. I’d love to help them.”Anyway. There’ll be another post tomorrow. Bye-bye.
