Michelle Wood

Compass Dallas Founding Partner

Meet Michelle

2022 was another record year for Michelle Wood, whose team Detwiler+Wood produced over $340+ million in sales. Since its opening in January 2018, Compass has recognized Detwiler+Wood as its highest-producing team in the DFW market, and in 2020, Detwiler+Wood was the #1 Compass team in Texas. In 2022, Michelle and her team hit a major milestone, achieving $2 Billion in total sales.

The Wall Street Journal and REAL Trends America’s Best Real Estate Agents recognized Michelle individually in 2019 as a member of the “America’s Best Real Estate Agents,” ranking her #8 in individual sales volume in the state of Texas, and #167 in the nation. In 2021, Michelle was ranked as part of the Detwiler+Wood team, whose production ranked # 1 in Texas and # 26 in the nation.

With 20+ years of industry expertise and repeatedly recognized as the leader of the highest-producing team in the company, Michelle delivers a comprehensive customized approach to residential real estate. A Compass founding partner, Michelle is joined by fellow top producer, Amy Detwiler, to bring a team with unsurpassed knowledge, service, and results to every detail of each real estate transaction. Michelle consistently demonstrates a proven track record in residential real estate, relying on her commercial real estate and asset management background to equip clients with the financial knowledge necessary to navigate the residential real estate market in Dallas’ most exclusive neighborhoods.

Prized for its diverse job market and success luring corporate relocations, the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex is the second fastest-growing metro in the nation. The impact of this growth on the residential real estate market has resulted in rising prices and low inventory in the more coveted neighborhoods in Dallas. In order to succeed in these challenging market conditions, Michelle utilizes her financial background, combined with a passion for architecture and design, to properly price and prepare properties for sale. When representing buyers, her market knowledge and agent relationships are invaluable tools for her clients, whose homes are often their largest investment.

From agent networking and scouring the MLS to find homes that perfectly suit clients’ needs and lifestyles, to selling properties for the highest possible price in record time, Michelle works diligently to achieve and exceed client expectations. In 2022, 56% of her listings sold before they ever reach the market, and her buyers often purchase homes before they are formally listed. This is a result of Michelle’s intense dedication and extensive local knowledge in premiere neighborhoods, including but not limited to the Park Cities, Preston Hollow, Greenway Parks, Bluffview, Devonshire, and Turtle Creek/Uptown. Michelle anticipates the market, listens to her clients, and leverages the powerful Compass brand network to offer an unmatched client experience.

Michelle is a graduate of Southern Methodist University where she earned a Bachelor of Business Administration in Accounting with an emphasis in Finance. Married to a native Dallasite, the mother of three lives in the Park Cities where she stays actively involved in the community. Michelle enjoys supporting and giving back to local organizations such as United to Learn, VNA Meals on Wheels, North Texas Food Bank, Park Cities Historic and Preservation Society, and Reconciliation Outreach; all of which allow her to connect with clients, friends, and neighbors on a personal level.
