With over 15 years of experience, Michelle Hinton leads the highly successful Hinton Home Team at Compass in Memorial. Her team serves clients at a range of price points, but their expertise shines in the luxury market. Covering Greater Houston — specifically Memorial, the Energy Corridor, The Heights and Inner Loop neighborhoods — Hinton and her team are known for their in-depth market knowledge and commitment to excellence.

Innovation is at the heart of Hinton’s business approach. By utilizing Compass’ cutting-edge technology as well as social media, she and her team maximize efficiency and elevate the client experience. “The tools we have access to allow us to work smarter, making transactions smoother for our clients,” she says. 

Hinton’s reputation is backed by impressive results. In 2024, RealTrends’ America’s Best rankings placed her team once again among the top 1.5% of small teams by volume nationwide. She holds a broker’s license along with multiple professional designations, including Certified International Property Specialist, Seller Representative Specialist, Real Estate Negotiation Expert, and she has earned the Guild Elite designation with the Institute for Luxury Home Marketing.

Her philosophy is simple: put the clients first. “We provide detailed market insights and hands-on guidance because we know buying or selling a home can be overwhelming,” she explains. “For me, it’s always about people first. When you focus on that, the rest falls into place.”

Beyond real estate, Hinton is dedicated to giving back to the Houston community. She actively supports several local organizations, including the Spring Branch Family Development Center, Family Point Resources, Big Love Cancer Care and Kids’ Meals.
