With 14 years of experience under her belt, Michelle Hinton is head of the award-winning Hinton Home Team at Compass Real Estate Memorial. Although her team assists buyers and sellers at many price points, its average sales price is at the luxury level. Hinton’s expertise spans across Greater Houston, with a focus on Memorial, the Energy Corridor, Heights, and Inner Loop neighborhoods.
Embracing technology as a cornerstone of her business, Hinton and her team employ cutting-edge tools provided by Compass to streamline operations and enhance client experiences. “We have so much amazing tech that we are able to use to help run our team’s business more efficiently,” she says. The team’s social media presence ensures high visibility and engagement.
Hinton’s track record speaks volumes. In 2023 her team secured the No. 4 spot for small teams by volume in Houston, according to RealTrends’ America’s Best rankings. Additionally, they clinched a spot in the Top 25 for Compass Greater Houston. Hinton also earned several industry designations. Last year, she obtained her broker license, along with the Certified International Property Specialist, Seller Representative Specialist, Real Estate Negotiation Expert and Accredited Buyer’s Representative designations.
Her business style is defined by meticulous attention to detail and a commitment to putting her clients first. “We provide plenty of data as we guide our clients through the process,” she explains. “We realize that this can be a stressful time for our clients and like to take that off of them as much as possible and have fun along the way.”
Hinton’s satisfied clients praise her team’s client-first mentality and commitment to white-glove service. “My business is built upon the golden rule, and my first priority is to provide my clients with exceptional, personalized service and attention,” Hinton says. “Our success is measured through the satisfaction of our clients.”
Beyond real estate, Hinton remains deeply involved in philanthropy and volunteer work, supporting various charities, school organizations and neighborhood events. What sets Hinton and her team apart from the crowd is putting people ahead of her own professional gains. “I just focus on my clients,” she says, “and the rest comes naturally.”
