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
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
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.
Best Parks
Hey, everyone. It’s Bob McCranie. And your realty idea of the day is “Best Parks.” So every city, at least in Dallas, I mean all the suburbs and the city of Dallas have parks. I mean, which ones are the best? And which ones are the best for what? So we have some parks have a good for hiking and biking. We have some parks that are good for kids. We have some water parks that are kinda like splash parks. Splash parks are the new way of doing a pool, I guess. So which ones are out there for you?
We also have nature preserves, we have hiking trails, we have all sorts of things in our parks and recs. Now the other thing you might do is if you’re in your city you want you might go interview the person who’s in charge of the parks department for your city. Talk about what their future expansion plans are, maybe where are they going to put the next kid’s park? What equipment are they seeing that they’re gonna phase in or phase out? What is it that they’re doing in the future with their pools? Parks are an important part of every city. Let’s talk about them and tell people where the best ones are. Bob McCranie. There’ll be another realty idea of the day posted tomorrow. Bye-bye.
Family Reunions
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.

Songs from Graduation!
Hey, everyone, it’s Bob McCranie with Texas Pride Realty, and your Realty Idea of the Day is “Songs from the Year you Graduated High School or College.” So, everyone loves nostalgia. If you post a question on your social, you will get lots of answers, and of course, our interactions are based on them answering the question and then you answering back.
So, you’re going to ask the question, “What was your favorite song from the year you graduated?” They’re going to post a response. You’re going to respond to that response. That creates the Velcro so that later on, when you post about your open house or your new listing, Facebook goes, “Wow, they like to talk. They’ve talked about these other topics. Let’s show them the open house. Let’s show them the new listing.”
So, these are kind of Velcro posts that you’re going to do. Favorite song from the year you graduated, maybe it’s your favorite song of the summer. Maybe it’s favorite song of…whatever it is, you pick a category, but ask questions, and then get the responses, and then respond to the responses.
Bob McCranie, Texas Pride Realty. Your Realty Idea of the Day is favorite song from the year you graduated. Take care. Bye-bye.
Up & Coming Neighborhoods
Hey everyone, it’s Bob McCranie and your Realty Idea of the Day is “Up and Coming Areas in your Town.” So, I live in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. And one of the new up and coming areas is off of a highway called 380. So it’s way out of town. But it’s where all the new construction is going, because that’s where the land is available. Where are the up and coming areas of your town? Now in your area it may also be a development that has gone through some transition. Maybe there is a part of town that, like we have parts of Oak Cliff, where Oak Cliff is always in transition. Because, parts of it were built in the ’40s, ’50s, and ’60s, and things churn. People go buy them, they renovate. Or they tear down and they build new. So, East Dallas is kind of the same way. What is it in your area? Where are the up and coming trendy areas? Like I said, they can be trendy, or they can be where it’s kind of a niche community. It’s kind of a place where avant garde people are living. Where is the up and coming area in your town? Post it on your social. Bye.
