Michelle Wood

For over 25 years, Michelle Wood has been one of the most nationally respected names in real estate. As a Compass Texas Founding Partner, she co-leads the award-winning Detwiler + Wood Real Estate Group, bringing unmatched market knowledge, service, and attention to detail to every transaction. Her background in commercial real estate and asset management gives clients a rare financial edge when navigating Dallas' most exclusive neighborhoods.

Since Compass entered the Dallas market in January 2018, the Detwiler + Wood Group has been its top-producing team in Texas with over $3.5 billion in career sales. In 2025, Wall Street Journal Real Trends recognized Detwiler + Wood as the #2 team in Texas and the #12 team in the nation across all brokerages.  The group was also named the #1 Producing Team in Highland Park, University Park & Preston Hollow.

Dallas-Fort Worth is the fastest-growing metro in the nation, driven by a diverse job market and steady corporate relocation. That growth has pushed prices up and inventory down in the city's most sought-after neighborhoods. Michelle meets these conditions with a rare combination: financial rigor to price and position properties correctly, and a genuine passion for architecture and design to prepare them for market. For buyers, her deep agent relationships and market intelligence are critical assets — especially when a home is their largest investment.

Michelle's results speak for themselves. In 2025, 48% of her listings sold before ever reaching the market, and many of her buyers purchase homes before they are ever formally listed. That track record comes from relentless local expertise across Dallas' premier neighborhoods — Park Cities, Preston Hollow, Greenway Parks, Bluffview, Devonshire, and Turtle Creek/Uptown — paired with an instinct for anticipating the market and the reach of the Compass network.

Michelle holds a BBA in Accounting, with an emphasis in Finance, from Southern Methodist University. She is married to a native Dallasite, is raising three children, and lives in the Park Cities, where she's an active community member. She supports organizations including United to Learn, VNA Meals on Wheels, North Texas Food Bank, Kamulama Foundation, Park Cities Historic and Preservation Society, and Reconciliation Outreach — connections that let her build relationships with clients, friends, and neighbors well beyond the transaction.
