About an hour ago I found out that I was a finalist for the 2009 REALTOR(R) Technology Spotlight Award - "Visionary" category. How? I have no idea. Seriously, it's just weird.

Why?

Because when it comes down to it, there are like a gazzilion people out there that blow my mind on a daily basis.  These people are the ones I think of when I think of visionary real estate people.  Here are just a few that continually blow my mind:

1) Jonathan Washburn (ActiveRain): the smartest guy I have ever met, though I do have more hair than he does.

2) Derek Massey (Mid-Atlantic Settlement Services): the smartest man on Twitter, who, as a leader, is one of my idols.

3) Jeff Turner (Mr. Everywhere - meaning there isn't a business this man isn't doing): okay...it's a tie.  Jeff is also the smartest person I have ever met.  The fact that both he and Jonathan have no hair is something I must look into!

Anyway, those are 3 of my visionary idols and wanted to mention it here first.

See you in San Diego!
