Personal contact or face to face
I remember when real estate sales was primarily face to face personal contact.
Back in the day I remember when I got my “personal web page address” www.pieradyer.com and my own personal e-mail address piera@pieradyer.com. I was excited and shared this information with my colleges. Some thought it was a good idea some could not fathom what it meant or how would it help me in real estate. A personal web page has given me more exposure. I am always tweaking it I admit it’s not perfect but I am always trying. I also have a personal page with my company Shorewest Realtors www.pieradyer.shorewest.com
Today there is social media networking! Oh my I am everywhere and I am overwhelmed! What am I suppose to do and truly what works. I want to keep up with the times but my passion is my family and selling and listing real estate. I wish I knew what is best for my personal and professional growth.
To name a few, I am on Linked In, a professional site and Facebook, a social site which seems to have a professional spin. My customer started me on Twitter and I don’t know who to follow or how to express myself for my real estate profession. Do you really care that I am showing homes or writing a contract? I am blogging which surprisingly I enjoy! I can express myself and inform the public about the areas I know. I am also on www.sohobiztube.com a social networking group for business people that I am still new to http://plaxo.com and I bet I am on more so if you ever go online drop me a note and we can chat or you can assist me with the new networking
I still am holding open houses, sending out mailings and other forms of personal contact but who knows what the future will bring. Maybe I will be selling and listings homes through skype on the internet!

Take a walk through Cedarburg’s downtown and you will discover dozens of fascinating specialty shops, charming restaurants, cozy taverns, and inviting century-old inns. One of the more popular inns, the 
My husband and I just put our boat into the boat slip at McKinley marina. Yesterday we took a boat ride and we are able to see the cityscape from the lake and river. 
What a beautiful city! I am proud to be a part of this city. To have a boat at the marina is like having a cottage up north but for us it is a city cottage. We can see the fireworks for the Big Bang and the many festivals also have fireworks. Or go up the river and go to the ever so popular Ale House Restaurant and dock and have a meal or margarita. Along the river are stunning condominiums and some have boat docks. The areas they are located in are the Third Ward and Brewers Hill. Milwaukee also has a Yacht Club that
you can be a part of and go to their Tiki bar, dinners, or be a part of the sailing club. We can ride our boat north to Port Washington and be a part of their fish boils and fireworks during the summer or we can go south to Racine and meet a new harbor.
We are so lucky to have Lake Michigan border our city. Lake Michigan is such a beautiful body of water that is vibrant, soothing and lively. There is a saying that “it is cooler near the lake” but if you live here you will fall in love with Lake Michigan and appreciate it. Over the year, Milwaukee holds many festivities along Lake Michigan. We have the Lakefront Festival of the Arts on June 19- 20, an outdoor art show exhibiting many artists artwork from all around the world. This event is held by the Milwaukee Art Museum which is bordered by the lake. 
People come from all over the states to attend Summerfest, a 10 day music festival featuring famous musicians, good food, vendors, games and fun. This year it is held on June 25 to July 5 . On July 3, we have the Big Bang at the lakefront where people come from all areas of the Milwaukee Metropolitan. 
On the Fourth, the fireworks are held in all the neighboring areas. Not to mention the ever so popular cultural festivals which are held on the Henry Maier Festival Park, Polish Fest is June 19 – 21, Festa Italiana July 16 – 19, Irish Fest August 13 – 16, Pride Fest on June 12 – 14 
and many more. There are so many activities all summer long it can be hard to attend them all. We have fun in Milwaukee!!
population and people begin to panic. We currently see this evidence with panic and the swine flu. People act as if the world were ending. 
The two-story home at 4309 Columbia Road was built in 1869 by Heinrich Anschuetz, whose family opened the Lime Kiln Quarry in the late 1800s. Many buildings in Grafton and Cedarburg were built with stone from the quarry.
and be a part of the revitalization of downtown Grafton. Grafton becomes more metropolitan with each change. One of the biggest factors has been the Paramount Records history that has been rediscovered. The village has remodeled the entire downtown area to pay tribute to this history and the musicians that recorded in Grafton and those that recorded for Paramount Records. 
For the past nine years I have been on the Advisory Board for the North Shore Academy of the Arts located in downtown Grafton, Wisconsin. NSAA is a non-profit school for all ages. The school is strong on creativity and the enrichment of their students. The school includes a performing arts department where students have dance and voice lessons and hold productions during the year. A visual arts department offers many different types of classes such as parent /child classes, graphic design, watercolors, painting for adults, and more. Plus, there are literary arts for all ages. 
The Flatiron Condominiums in downtown Milwaukee's Park East Corridor will now be offering a free one year membership to the MSOE Kern Center. If you haven't been to this 200,000+ sq ft facility a tour is definitely in order! Not only do they offer a wide variety of cardio and weight equipment, they also have an 
NHL sized indoor ice rink, suspended padded running track and a basketball court. They offer group classes such as yoga, pilates and spinning for an additional (nominal) fee. For more info visit
