Top Tips to Get Multiple Offers on Your DeSoto TX Home

By Steven Thomas – Refind Realty

Selling your home in DeSoto? You don’t just want an offer—you want options. Getting multiple offers can push your sale price higher, give you stronger negotiating power, and speed up your timeline.

I’ve helped plenty of sellers in DeSoto navigate this process, and I’m breaking down exactly what it takes to get buyers competing for your home.

1. Price It to Spark Interest, Not Just Profit

Pricing is more than just a number—it’s your first impression. Aim too high, and you’ll sit. Too low, and you might leave money behind.

Here’s what I look at when pricing:

• Comparable homes sold in DeSoto within the last 90 days

• Current inventory levels and buyer demand

• Buyer behavior from real-time search trends on the Lone Star App

2. Show Buyers a Move-In Ready Home

You don’t need a remodel. You need a clean, polished, move-in ready vibe that helps buyers picture themselves living there.

Simple ways to prep:

• Fresh paint in neutral colors

• Clear countertops, closets, and shelves

• Tidy landscaping and a power-washed driveway

3. Work With a Listing Agent Who Knows DeSoto

The right agent doesn’t just market your home—they position it. That’s how we attract multiple offers.

Here’s how I help sellers win:

• HD photography, targeted online ads, and detailed MLS listings

• Smart showing schedules and open house coordination

• Listing placement across high-traffic sites and buyer networks

4. Leverage a Weekend Listing Strategy

Here’s the move: list your home on a Thursday, schedule showings through the weekend, and set an offer deadline for Monday. It builds buzz and urgency.

This timeline gets results because:

• Buyers have time to plan showings

• You generate maximum exposure

• It encourages competitive bidding early

5. Offer Incentives That Don’t Lower the Price

Sometimes it’s not about price—it’s about terms. You can entice buyers without cutting your asking number.

Consider offering:

• Flexible closing dates

• Coverage for minor repairs

• A home warranty or paid title policy

Smart seller incentives often help my clients win strong, clean offers—especially when buyers are on the fence.

6. Be Strategic With Counter Offers

Once the offers roll in, it’s not just about the number. I help you look at each buyer’s financing strength, contingencies, and timing.

Sometimes the best offer isn’t the highest. We’ll break them down together and either accept, counter, or use one as leverage with the others.

7. Attract Buyers With a Clear Move-Up Plan

Many sellers are also buyers. If that’s you, I’ll help you coordinate both sides of the transaction.

Options for move-up buyers in DeSoto:

• Get pre-approved before listing

• Browse new construction homes in DFW

• Learn how to save with my New Construction Rebate Program

This way, you're not just selling—you’re moving forward with confidence.
