Selling Your Home in Dallas? Here’s How to Attract Multiple Offers

By Steven Thomas, Refind Realty

Introduction

If you're thinking about selling your home in Dallas, you're likely wondering how to stand out in a competitive market. Good news: homes are still moving quickly in the right price ranges. The key to maximizing your sale price and getting multiple offers comes down to strategy. In this guide, I’ll show you what I advise my clients to do to get the best results.

1. Nail Your Pricing Strategy from Day One

Overpricing is the biggest reason homes sit on the market. Underpricing might leave money on the table. You need to price your home to create urgency and spark interest among serious buyers.

I run detailed market analyses based on your neighborhood, condition, and recent sales. When priced right, your listing can generate strong traffic in the first 72 hours—often leading to multiple offers.

2. Make a Killer First Impression (Online and In Person)

Buyers are forming opinions before they even step inside. That means your online listing photos need to shine. I always bring in a professional photographer to capture your home at its best.

Beyond photos, here’s what else matters:

• Fresh landscaping and curb appeal

• Clean, decluttered interior

• Neutral tones and well-lit rooms

• Pre-listing inspection or basic repairs completed

3. Use Timing to Your Advantage

In Dallas, the spring and early summer months tend to bring the most active buyers. But strong demand can exist year-round—especially if inventory is low in your area.

The week your listing goes live can matter more than the season. Thursdays and Fridays work best to catch weekend house hunters.

I’ll help you pick the optimal window based on current buyer behavior in your ZIP code.

4. Market Aggressively and Locally

Posting to the MLS is just the beginning. I promote your listing across high-traffic channels:

• Custom landing pages with lead capture

• Social ads targeted to local buyers

• Google My Business for neighborhood visibility

• Email blasts to buyer agents and interested clients

• Exclusive listing previews for serious pre-qualified buyers

The more eyeballs we get on your listing, the more offers we attract.

5. Create a Bidding-Friendly Atmosphere

To drive multiple offers, I structure the sale to encourage competition. Here’s how I do it:

• Short showing window with overlapping tours

• Clear offer deadline after 2 to 3 days on market

• Transparent communication with all interested buyers

• Counter-offer strategies to maximize terms and price

When buyers feel the buzz, they come prepared to compete.

6. Sweeten the Deal with Seller Incentives

Sometimes, adding a little sugar helps. These incentives can work in your favor:

• Offering to pay some buyer closing costs

• Providing a home warranty

• Pre-inspection reports to boost buyer confidence

I can help you decide which, if any, incentives make the most sense for your situation.

FAQs

If priced and marketed correctly, many Dallas homes go under contract within 7 to 10 days.

2. Should I make updates before listing?
Small repairs and cosmetic improvements can make a big difference. I’ll advise you on what’s worth the cost.

3. Can I sell my home as-is?
Yes, but it might attract fewer buyers. I can help you compare offers and strategies.

4. What’s the best day to list a home?
Thursdays and Fridays tend to get the most online activity, leading into weekend showings.

5. Do I need professional photos?
Absolutely. It’s one of the easiest ways to make your listing stand out online.
