NWA Democrat-Gazette Best of the Best 59 Sunday, October 29, 2017 By Dave Woods NWA Democrat-Gazette W hen you speak to Michelle you can't help but notice how passionate she is about what she does. "If you do what you love you'll never work a day in your life," she said. "It's true. I've heard that statement all my life and now I am living it daily." When Michelle Dearing and Calah Andelman co-founded Midtown Associates in 2016 they had a lofty idea in mind. "We wanted to get back to the basics of developing relationships and introducing people to the community we love," Michelle explained. "We fi nd that even people who live here in Northwest Arkansas really don't know what all our area has to offer." From concept to reality, the pair got moving. "We opened an offi ce on Main Street in Bentonville," she said. "We knew we wanted to develop relationships in the community through art, music and education. We have an art gallery in our offi ce where we showcase local artists' works, a community room and fl exible event space. It is not uncommon to walk into our offi ce to fi nd yourself in the middle of an art opening, a non-profi t event or a mini concert by one of our local bands." The response to the new concept in real estate has caught the public's attention. "We knew we didn't want to settle for business as usual but we had no idea how wildly successful our concept would be" Michelle said. "We've been so fortunate that our passion aligned with such a large need in the community." While connecting back to the community is important, let's not forget Midtown Associates is a growing real estate agency in the region. "We've been able to be very selective in the agents we have brought on to the team," she said. "Our goal is not to be the biggest just the best. We do the small things that go unnoticed, the hard things that need to be done and the important things that make a difference. We are up to nine agents now who all bring different skill sets to the team but they all have one thing in common…..they love connecting people to their hometown." When you speak to Michelle you can't help but notice how passionate she is about what she does. "If you do what you love you'll never work a day in your life," she said. "It's true. I've heard that statement all my life and now I am living it daily."
