Dallas’ Downtown is the business center of the city. Everything is huge in Dallas, and Downtown is no exception. Sip a cocktail at the Magnolia hotel, see the latest installations at the Dallas Museum of Art, admire the sea jellies at the Park Aquarium. Life here is about living up high. While it’s not the trendiest spot, proximity to office buildings and the convention center make Downtown a good spot for someone who wants a quick commute.
The HomeLight website was easy to navigate and the agent matching was excellent. I would recommend HomeLight to anyone wanting to sell a home in Austin or nearby areas. It made selling a house easy!

We're so happy we used HomeLight! After browsing websites and not finding the right agent, we went to HomeLight. It was easy to find the best agent and the house sold the first week of listing.

I had tried to sell my house 3 times. I went onto HomeLight and was matched with an agent right away. My house sold in 5 days! It's a wonderful service. I'd recommend it in a heartbeat!

When is the right time to hire a real estate agent in Dallas?
It's going to depend on the temperature of the Dallas housing market but we generally recommend that you hire a real estate agent as soon as you're thinking of selling your home. Generally speaking, that's anywhere from 3 to 6 months prior to your desired move date.
How important is it to hire a top real estate agent in Dallas?
On average, the top performing 5% of seller's agents generally command a higher selling price (+9%) than the average real estate agent. The top performing 5% of buyer's agents generally save their clients 2.5% more than the average real estate agent at closing. So, whether you're buying or selling your house, your odds of making more money on the transaction are higher if you work with a top performing agent.
Why do I need to hire a licensed real estate agent in Dallas?
Always ensure you’re working with a trained, accredited real estate professional. That's the best way to protect you and your property. Every listing agent should be prepared to deliver proof of their license to sell in your area.

While individual real estate agent commissions do vary, most real estate agents in Dallas work for 6% of the home price.
