# Our Story

ARC Realty was incorporated in 2012 with a single mission: to bring a personal touch back into the Birmingham real estate market.

Naming their company “A Relationship Company,” ARC’s four founders — Tommy Brigham, Beau Bevis, Mechelle Wilder, and Dale McIntyre — set out to shake up the status quo. Each founder brought a different background and culture to the table, and that melting pot of leadership created something rare: an open, integrated environment where agents collaborate instead of compete.

The results came fast. It took two years to gain 100 agents, four years to double that, and just five years to become Alabama’s largest privately owned real estate brokerage.

## Our Mission

- To ease the home transaction experience for everyone involved

- To develop relationships that go beyond the sale

- To provide a home for agents where they feel welcomed, appreciated, and comfortable

- To create an environment that encourages collaboration

- To give our agents a competitive advantage through technology and services

- To play an active role in the growth of the communities we serve

- To curate a brand that better positions our agents to grow their business

- To remember that life for all of us goes far beyond these walls
