You may have seen the signs, attended an event, or heard a whispering of the two words among friends and neighbors – Mr. Midland. Ring a bell? As promised earlier this month, we are taking a closer look at the seven person team behind the “Mr. Midland” brand to see what makes this group tick.

Q: First off, who is Mr. Midland?
“I have never called myself Mr. Midland,” says Cameron Willmann, leader of The Mr. Midland Team at Keller Williams Realty Realty in Midland.

“It was the team name that came about from my old broker when I teamed up with my business partner,” he said. “When we moved to Keller Williams Realty, the name was already there, so we ran with it. When he left the business for a bit, the team stayed on and now, some people call me Mr. Midland.”

“I guess because it is not a far stretch to associate the name of the team with the team leader/owner.” (more…)

Montana Trailblazer1

By Austin Rucker, Midland Editor

Prior to Midland, my experience with trailer homes (or their upscale name, motor homes) came from working door to door sales where a guy once invited me into his motor home and played Online Poker while pointing out the best billet you could get would be a Warrant Officer in the Army since you get to fly, and “it’s cool, it’s chill, everybody calls you ‘Chief’ “. Then he spat some tobacco into his coke bottle. I don’t even recall if he signed up for cable and phone service, but he had a relaxed, low key trailer home existence and that stuck with me. Hs blood pressure at age 60 was probably lower than mine.

Contrast this to Midland, where you see BMW sports cars in the RV motorhome park. Here you find this 2015 Ford F450 Platinum, a $100K Montana Big Sky and a Jeep Wrangler of equal or lesser value cozy in an RV park with quick access to the open spaces and Horned Toads as only Midland can offer. It really puts the M-streets (the Conservation District!) in Dallas to shame. Many folks in Highland Park wish they had it this good.

I had to talk to the owner of this luxury get up, had to. Using my skills acquired in the door to door sales industry, I walked up, said hi, we shook hands. I had to know, being a transplant from Dallas, why he had a set up a mobile house instead of just buying some Midland dirt?

While he chose not to be identified, he provided valuable insight for my anthropological exploration.
