The long awaited closing day is finally here. Handing over the keys to the new homeowner’s is like a huge sigh of relief. It’s done, finalized, and the new homeowner’s can finally start the new chapter of their lives. Finding the thoughtful closing gifts from the real estate agent for the proud new homeowner can leave a lasting impression.
You work with the buyer’s for weeks, sometimes months. Trying to find the perfect house that feels like a home, one that fits their budget and most importantly, one that fits their list of must-haves. Hopefully within this time frame, you’ve gotten to know them a little more. Knowing your clients will help you choose the perfect housewarming gift for them.
So how do you choose what’s to give your clients for their real estate closing gift? Should you even give them something? Remember, your interaction with them will leave a positive impression and can result in them referring you to their friends and family.
One thing to remember though, do not give them anything that they have a lot of already or something that they will never use. Examples of things not to give your clients:
- They aren’t coffee drinkers so don’t give them things like coffee signs for their coffee bars. They’ll never have a coffee bar so this gift will be regifted or trashed.
- They have a yard that is mostly concrete so don’t give them a tree to plant.
- They don’t drink alcohol so don’t give them things like wine, wine glasses, or any bar signs.
- Don’t give them branded things like mugs with your name, contact info and even your picture. Most people nowadays will see this marketing ploy and will be turned off.
- You get the idea. You know your client so put a little thought into it.
Figuring out what to get them doesn’t have to be a challenge. You’ve interacted with them long enough to know a little about them. So choosing the perfect real estate closing gift is easy when you think about who your clients are. Here are some things to keep in mind when trying to find that perfect thoughtful housewarming gift that they’ll actually love:
- What’s their lifestyle?
- do they camp, play golf, like to go to the beach, travel?
- Do they have kids? Young ones or older ones?
- Do they have pets?
- Preferred decor style? Modern, Rustic, Mid Century, BOHO?
- Consider their needs: do they have a pool, love gardening, or love to collect something?
And remember, personalized gifts are the way to go! Everyone loves seeing their names on anything. You can find a lot of personalized housewarming gifts at PaisleyGroveGIFTS.com and your clients will appreciate the extra thought you put into their gift.
