Closing a home is an exciting time for both the homeowners and the realtor. Because of this, many realtors choose a gift for their clients to commemorate the experience. This gift is an opportunity to show gratitude for the client’s support and add extra value to the service as you reach the end of your time working together. There are so many different gift options available, but the perfect realtor’s gift will have these three characteristics:

  • Personal: Choose something that reminds you of them! Any gift will be better received if there was some thought put into it.
  • Clean: Remember, your clients will be moving soon. They don’t need extra mess from you.
  • High-Quality: Although there is no price range for a gift, it’s good to keep in mind that they just made a massive purchase and trusted you to be involved in it.

While any gift with these characteristics will be happily received, there will always be gifts clients appreciate more. Don’t give them a generic, lazy gift. Show appreciation! Going the extra mile will not only help you end your service on great terms, but it can also open doors for more work in the future.

To help you find the perfect gift, here are our nine favorite unique closing gift ideas for realtors.

1. LOCAL RESTAURANT GIFT CERTIFICATE

There’s no better way to help your client become familiar with their new area than giving them the chance to try some of the local food! Your client can’t ask for anything better after moving than a stress-free dining experience they don’t have to pay for.

 

2. PERSONALIZED WELCOME MAT

This is a fun, fairly inexpensive gift your client can use for years. A welcome mat is the perfect closing gift because it’s one of those necessities that often gets overlooked or forgotten during the moving process only to be remembered once the house has mud tracked through it. Solve that problem from the start and help your client feel more at home.

3. PET COLLAR TAGS

If your clients have any pets they’re moving with, this gift can be a huge stress reliever. Putting the new address on the tag will be safer for the pets, and you’ll provide them with a shiny new look for their shiny new home!

 

4. MAP OF THE AREA/CALENDAR

Some information is essential for people new to an area. The second your buyers are done unloading boxes, they’re going to need to know things like when the garbage truck comes or when to start cooking for the next neighborhood potluck. Help them settle in faster by getting them the facts right off.

5. A SMART VACUUM

Why not upgrade some of your buyer’s cleaning tools while you’re helping them upgrade their living space? A smart vacuum will learn the layout of the house right along with your clients, and it’ll keep their house looking new for longer.

 

6. A SMART DOORBELL

This might not be the perfect gift for every customer because not everyone wants to know exactly when the mailman comes. However, if they show an interest in being more aware of their area and adding an extra layer of security to the house, this gift may be the move!

7. INTERIOR DECOR

This kind of closing gift is fairly standard, but you can make it as unique as you want! We’ve heard of gifts like personalized pillows, charcuterie boards, house plants, or even flowers for the mantle. This gift idea is great because it will fit any price budget, and you can make it as personalized as you want.

8. HOUSE CLEANING SERVICE

Nothing says “enjoy your new house” quite like allowing them to continue enjoying it long after you’re gone. The house cleaning service will allow your client to start with a clean home after the chaos of moving in or even months later after they’ve had the chance to get it good and dirty.

9. AT-HOME MASSAGE

What a perfect way to spend an evening in their new home! If your clients are romantic partners, this is also an awesome date idea you’re providing. Besides, a massage will be exactly what they need after they’re done unloading dozens of boxes.
