What’s wrong with giving a gift card or fruit basket?
Nothing! Many agents play it safe and give generic gifts their clients will appreciate, like wine, event tickets, restaurant gift certificates, etc. But, there’s something to be said for personalization. A closing gift that’s tailored to your client’s unique tastes demonstrates that you care and that you value the relationship you’ve been building with them.
Personal, lifestyle-focused gifts like the ones we’ve gathered above tell a client that you’ve paid attention to what’s important to them in a new neighborhood, and that you’re still looking for ways to help them enjoy their new home even after closing. Each time they use your gift in the future, they may remember the great service you gave them, which could lead to referrals and repeat business down the road.
