About Janelle

# Janelle Compton **Real Estate Broker | Educator | Business Strategist | Productivity Coach | Founder of Modern Agent Institute** Meet **Janelle Compton**, a powerhouse real estate entrepreneur, dynamic educator, business strategist, and transformational leader whose mission is simple: **empower people, elevate businesses, and create opportunities that change lives.** With more than 21 years of experience as a licensed real estate professional, 15 years as a broker, and 24 years as a real estate investor, Janelle has built a career defined by leadership, innovation, and an unwavering commitment to helping others succeed. Originally from the Dallas–Fort Worth area, Janelle relocated to Houston to pursue a coaching opportunity. In 2019, she took a bold entrepreneurial leap, opening her own real estate brokerage and successfully growing it to 85 agents. In May 2023, she transitioned her team to eXp Realty, where her leadership journey continued. By September 2024, she had earned the position of Managing Broker for eXp Realty's Coastal Region. But Janelle has never been one to settle for success when she sees an opportunity to create a greater impact. In 2025, she made the intentional decision to step away from corporate brokerage leadership to focus on her next major venture: **Modern Agent Institute**, which she founded as Texas's first Black woman-owned full-service real estate school. Modern Agent Institute was created to do more than prepare students to pass a licensing exam. It was designed to bridge the gap between real estate education and real-world business success. Through innovative instruction, powerful exam preparation, practical business training, and comprehensive post-licensing support, Janelle is redefining what real estate education can look like. Her vision extends beyond traditional students. Modern Agent Institute creates educational pathways for high school students, agents seeking to renew or advance their licenses, aspiring team leaders, future brokers, formerly incarcerated individuals, and individuals with special needs who can benefit from accessible, career-focused education. Janelle is also the visionary behind **Modern Agent Collective**, where she helps real estate professionals develop the systems, accountability, leadership skills, and entrepreneurial mindset necessary to build sustainable businesses.
