Your Halloween History
Hey, everyone. It’s Bob McCranie with Texas Pride Realty and your Realty Idea of the Day is Halloween through history.
So, you know, we don’t want to get into anything too controversial about the roots of Halloween and where it came from historically, but maybe you can go into what Halloween meant to you as a kid. Maybe you can talk about some of your costumes growing up that either you made or your folks helped you make.
I remember when I was growing up, we had these big plastic masks that held on with elastic and the kind of nylon suits when I was like 5 or 7 years old. And then my mom made some costumes which are really cool. But the store-bought things were just kind of clunky and awful. Maybe you can have some pictures, if you have them, of you as a kid in Halloween costumes.
Talk about the history of Halloween as it meant to you. What was your favorite candy to get in the bag? What was something that your folks warned you about? “Watch out for the guy down the street with the knife.” Or no, no. Did you go out to haunted houses as kids? What was it about Halloween as a kid in your history that made that important to you? Go on your social media, do a video about it, post some pictures, get as many comments as you can and then comment back.
Bob McCranie, Texas Pride Realty, there’ll be another Realty Idea of the Day posted tomorrow. Bye-bye.
Trick or Treat Driving
Now is a great time to remind people that small kids will be out in big costumes focused on candy. They won’t be looking both ways and drivers need to be more alert.
Best Chili Recipes
Hey, everyone. It’s Bob McCranie with Texas Pride Realty, and your Realty Idea of the Day is Best Chili Recipes.
Now, this is one that you can ask people to contribute pictures or text recipes, however, they want to do it. I love watching the little video recipes. I don’t cook, I watch how they make stuff, anyway. So the best chili recipe, which one is the best for you, which one is your sphere…maybe you have a chili cook-off, maybe this will lead to an event where you can have your clients come in and test all the different chilies and offer a prize and be in the middle of it all.
So best chili recipes. Now I know regions have different styles of chili. I know Texas supposedly, you don’t put beans in Texas chili. I like beans in chili, so I must not be from Texas. And then you have things like Cincinnati chili, which is served over spaghetti and it’s sweet and it’s actually really good. So every region has a different idea of what chili is, just like they have a different idea of barbecue. So let’s talk about that and get the best recipes and post them on our social media.

Leasing Homes
Hey, everyone. Bob McCranie with Texas Pride Realty and your Realty Ideas Per Day is leasing homes. Now, we all know that buying a home is your best investment because you’re going to be building equity versus paying for somebody else’s equity in their lease home. But sometimes you just have to. Sometimes you either don’t have the down payment or you’re only going to be living in an area for a short time. Leases are there. So let’s talk about how much it cost to lease a home in your area, what makes a really great tenant if you’ve got a lot of convictions and some bankruptcies, and 17 cats. You’re probably not gonna be a good tenant. So let’s talk about the pricing in the area, the best way to strategize to get your tenant application put through, and maybe what landlords are looking for right now. Anyway, Bob McCranie, Texas Pride Realty. Let’s talk about leasing houses in your market. Take care. Bye-bye.
