Managing Real Estate Broker with Windermere Peninsula Properties

Everyone has heard the term going postal, well I have gone LOCAL -as in LOCALISM. I now carry a camera with me everywhere I go. I am taking pictures, asking questions, and looking for stories around every corner. If you have not looked in to LOCALISM yet, find out why so many of us are going LOCAL!

I find it a great reason to start up a conversation with anyone. I am not pushing Real Estate, I am showing off our wonderful community-Dinah Lee

I am surprised about those on Active Rain that still do not know much about it. I can not wait to share with all of you what I have planned next...

I work the entire country, and am wondering how best to use Localism.  I don't know much about it though.

Ryan,Cameron,Gregory- That is the point. we are creating Localism.

Ryan you can add communities that you do not see.

 Cameron photo skills are not a problem. You can also use this as a networking tool, by asking community members for photos, while promoting Localism.

 Gregory this would be perfect for you because you work nation wide!it will catch on ,and it is going to be BIG.

 Trust me on this one be a part of the begining. Promote LOCALISM!

Hi Dinah,

I am trying similar post with Southwest Louisiana.  Everything from school and community activities, festivals, great local shops or museums. etc.  It is really a lot of fun for me to investigate the community in depth.
