Frequently Asked Questions About Real Estate Closing Gift
Do Realtors Always Give Closing Gifts?
Realtors should always give closing gifts to their clients to ensure a positive and lasting impression. Closing gifts are a fantastic way to show your appreciation for the trust that clients have put in you. The gifts don’t need to be expensive – just something thoughtful that the client can use or enjoy.
A closing gift is also an opportunity for realtors to stay in touch with their past and current clients. Include a handwritten card that conveys both gratitude and offers assistance with any future real estate needs. Doing this shows that you truly value the relationship formed with your client throughout the entire process, even after they’ve closed on their home. As well, it can help foster word of mouth referrals to potential new prospects as well!
How Much Should You Spend on a Closing Gift for a Client?
Realtors should spend between $50-$150 on closing gifts, ensuring a meaningful yet reasonably priced gift for the occasion. Choose something special that your client will appreciate, such as a gift basket with luxury items. For closing gifts within this budget range, consider customizing items like wine glasses or mugs that feature the company logo, or items such as home decor that symbolize the completion of their new home journey. A unique and thoughtful closing gift will show that you care about the client's success and is sure to leave a lasting impression!
If you have been working with a client for along time and they have purchased a higher end luxury dream home it is encouraged to do anywhere from 1-3% percentage of your commission towards a closing gift. This can help to ensure a good relationship and hopefully will get you repeat business in the future.
What Items Should Realtors Give Their Clients at Closing?
Realtors should include items that are special, thoughtful, and affordable in their closing gifts. Consider including items related to the home such as a custom-engraved cutting board or insulated tumblers. These also create great opportunities to brand your logo or name on items that they will use often. Another great option is to include items that will be useful or fit your client's personality. A sneaky way of finding what they may need or want is by taking a look at your client's social media to see if they have posted anything they might want or need. At the least you can see the aesthetic of their home to get a gift that will match. Your clients will recognize that this is a very thoughtful gift and will appreciate you as their real estate agent, broker or title company.
Should a Seller Give Their Real Estate Agent a Gift?
It's becoming increasingly common for sellers and buyers to give their real estate agent a memorable closing gift after the papers have been signed. This can be something small, like a card of thanks or something more substantial, such as a home decor item, a gift certificate or realtor gift basket. Regardless of the value of the gift, it is a kind gesture that shows your appreciation and gratitude for all their hard work throughout the process. It's important that as a seller, you are paying them through the purchase price of your home, however if you are the buyer that you are not paying them a dime of your own money (in most cases) . Therefor if you are a buyer it is always nice to give a unique gift as a thank you for all they have done for you.
What Do You Give Real Estate Clients for Christmas?
The holiday season is a great time for real estate agents to show appreciation and gratitude to their clients. If you’re looking for meaningful gifts that your real estate clients will appreciate, consider items that are related to the home or local businesses. For example, a personalized cutting board is an affordable yet thoughtful gift that your clients can use in their new home. If you are looking to try and get real estate referrals or are trying to get repeat business from your clients, up the game by giving them a gift box filled to the brim with their favorite treats, personalized items or even some wall art. This shows that you paid attention to their wants and need and would be ready to help them get into that dream home when the time comes.
What Closing Gifts Should Real Estate Agents Avoid?
Real estate closing gifts should be unique and thoughtful to show you appreciation for the clients trusting you to do your work as a real estate agent. While many people who work in real estate would simply send a gift certificate to a local business such as restaurant, you can do so much better than that.While we are all about supporting the local community, giving a specific gift certificate makes it so the clients HAVE to go to that specific place and if their personal tastes and interests are different it very well could go unused, despite your best efforts to give them a new local experience.
Another item we often see real estate agents or even interior designers gift is the laundry basket. We aren't quite sure where the tradition started, but we say that it should end right here. Most people already own laundry baskets when moving into a new home and unless it is unique and on the higher end of quality - chances are it will just sit around and go unused.
Other popular closing gift ideas we don't recommend unless you know your client absolutely wants or needs it include; a smart doorbell (many people already have it or are planning to purchase it anyway), subscription boxes to unnecessary places or even refrigerator magnets
Closing Gifts That Help You Grow Your Business
When you give a branded closing gift that the family will keep and use over and over you are keeping your name in front of your client. When it comes time for them to move again or if they are asked for a referral from a friend or family member it will be easy to remember the great experience they had with you.
If you don't see the perfect gift for your client, don't worry. We have over 100 real estate closing gifts at Shadow Breeze. You can also review some of our past gift suggestions below.
