Michael Thornton and his team of real estate agents have joined with Compass. The real estate technology company, which has enjoyed significant expansion throughout Illinois this year, is adding Thornton to the roster along with the agents Allison Borton and Kyle Keck.

The team previously worked at Keller Williams in Glen Ellyn where they were the No. 2 producing team and held a top-five market share in the neighboring suburb of Wheaton.

Thornton himself has a lifetime of real estate experience. He earned his real estate agent license in Michigan when he was just 18 years old but did not pursue the industry full-time until 2017. That’s when Thornton began building up his team around the Wheaton and Glen Ellyn area. Now, by becoming a member of Compass, he looks forward to maximizing the momentum of these past few years.

“Homebuyers and sellers face so many pain points throughout their transaction process, and Compass is leading the way in removing those pain points,” Thornton said, referring to Compass’ exclusive technology and consumer programs. “We’re excited to offer our clients a whole new level of customer experience.”
