It's my first ActiveRain contest! After 2 and 1/2 years, I figured it was time to host one- so here it goes...
While not quite under the influence like the driver in the photo here, it's safe to say that we've all had folks who have influenced us over the course of our careers. Be they parents, friends, managers, brokers or others, our career paths have been influenced in a number of ways by those around us.
I've always said that we have no choice … (245 comments)
As with my first Awkward Moments post, I mentioned how I've had a number of them over the years. I've narrowed 'em down to the 3 best ones (or worst ones) I can recall.
Awkward Moment #2 was a truly awkward one that came about during a showing a few years ago. I'd set a showing of a 3BR place- and was to meet a single dad and his 2 kids.
Although it'd have no effect on any application he … (4 comments)
I've surely had a number of awkward moments over the course of my 13 years in the real estate/property management business. While I realize I'll only be gettin' points for one of these, I had a hard time choosing between my top 3 awkward moments- so I'll write about each of them.
Awkward Moment #1 is a no-brainer. This awkward moment came about while I was showing a condo back in '05/'06 or so. My pre-screening of the prospect was normal- this was … (4 comments)

From time to time, I'm sure we've all had properties or listings of some sort that we tried like heck to get- yet failed in the end and watched while another agent had some success with them. Yep, the ol' "ones that got away".
On the other hand, I'd figure a good number of folks have also had properties or listings that they "won"- only to feel like anything but a winner down the road as that dog of a property sat … (2 comments)
Your listing in crappy shape doesn't help either one of us!
So... I have another big day of showings scheduled- fairly common in these days of scarce inventory and plentiful tenant prospects here in the Orlando area. Some properties I'm scheduled to show are ones that my company manages- while some are listed and/or managed by others.
It goes without saying that one is likely to know far more about the particulars of their own listings than those of others, mind you- which places a bit of … (4 comments)

NeighborhoodScout? A slippery slope, this appears to be
Florida Realtors does a pretty good job overall in providing us with a Florida Realtors News email every day. First, the thing's free- and anything we're able to learn from it is a bonus, right? Second, there usually is a good bit of interesting and helpful information to be found. Topics might include foreclosure statistics or market trends from around the state and nationally- and they also offer a bit of technology information from time to time.

A Father's Heart- Rick Burgess- full video from Dennis Burgess on Vimeo.
Pool safety, a Father's Heart and the Lord
I can't recall if I've discussed this on here before- but given we're deep into the swimming season and all, I figured I'd offer this post that (in my somewhat biased opinion) might be one of the more inspiring messages you've seen in some time.
Along with his great friend Bill "Bubba" Bussey, my cousin Rick Burgess has a pretty successful radio show called The Rick and Bubba Show … (4 comments)

Can you stop texting me while I'm driving....please?
I guess this qualifies as a rant... I've written in the past about Florida's law against texting while driving. The law went into effect back in October or so, and I admitted ahead of the law's effective date that I've been known to text and drive too dang much- and that I'd admittedly have some serious trouble complying with the law.
How's it gone so far? So-so, I suppose. Being honest about it, I can say that I still text and drive- … (0 comments)
