10 Closing Gifts That Will Keep You Top of Mind the Entire Year

Congratulations! You’ve reached the closing stage of the transaction journey. Your clients are happy, you’re excited to add another closed deal to the docket, and now you’re wondering — what are my options for real estate closing gifts?

There are an incredible amount of gifts you can choose to give to add an extra special touch to serving your clients, but you may also be wondering if you should really give a gift at closing.

Why Give a Gift at Closing?

While we’re sure you’ve given your clients a stellar experience (hey, you got them to the closing table!), giving a gift at closing can help you:

• Stand out from other agents in your area by showing you go the extra mile for your clients to the very end (and beyond)
• Add a classy touch with a token for a combination of “congratulations” and “thank you”
• Give you a lasting opportunity to leave a strong impression, including a physical example of your branding
• Provide an “in” so clients feel comfortable providing referrals and testimonials
  

Get ready to blow your clients’ expectations out of the water with these 10 real estate closing gifts for an even more memorable client experience.

10 Real Estate Closing Gifts to Stand Out

#1. A Smart Doorbell

Tap into tech and gift your clients the ultimate peace of mind in their new neighborhood with a smart doorbell like Ring or Nest. Providing them with a security measure that’s quickly set up and managed right from their smartphones shows you’re involved in helping them protect their asset in the long-run, too.

#2. A Gift Certificate to a Local Cleaning Service

No matter how much or how long you prepare, moving is exhausting and just plain hard. Show your clients how much you care about them beyond the close with a handwritten card and gift certificate to a local cleaning service. When they’re finally settled in and ready for a professional clean, you’ll be top of mind.

#3. A Personalized Gift Basket

Head to the craft store for a beautiful basket, crinkled basket filler, cellophane, and a ribbon. Fill the gift basket with branded goods you have, like pens, notepads, coffee mugs, and more. Add snacks from local businesses, a bottle of quality wine, or coffee or tea, a snazzy “welcome home” sign, and a personalized card.

Make it your own with items you know will help your clients settle in, and tailor it to their unique tastes and interests.

#4. A Customized Charcuterie Board

Looking for unique real estate closing gifts that are also standout conversation pieces and will actually get used? Gift them a customized charcuterie or cutting board! Bonus points if you have your clients’ initials engraved into it. You can also buy a quality, non-engraved one and gift it alongside wine glasses branded to your business.

#5. A Robot Vacuum

Another great way to take stress off your clients’ shoulders beyond the closing table? With a robot vacuum like a Roomba or a Shark. Robot vacuums continue to become more powerful, with enhanced features and compatibility with smartphones and smart home tools like Alexa.

Highlight your tech-savviness as an agent by gifting them a robo-vacuum. Every time it glides across their floor, they’ll think of you.

#6. A Gift for their Furry Family Member

Don’t leave Fido or Mr. Kitty out of the picture. Showing your clients you care about every family member is a brilliant touch to demonstrate your attention to detail and care. Invest in branded pet items, like water bowls, chew toys, and tennis balls. Not only will their beloved pet have a fun new treat, but your brand and business will also stay top of mind every playtime.

#7. A Bottle of Wine, Champagne, or Other Congratulatory Beverage

Take the traditional bottle of bubbly a step further by adding your branding to the bottle, or to glasses you provide alongside it. You can have stickers printed to add to the bottle, or hole-punch a corner of your business card and tie it around the bottle with a silk ribbon. It’s a nice touch and lets your clients cheers to you, too.

#8. A New Welcome Mat

Help your clients make a good first impression with a new welcome mat. You can personalize it with their family name, the year they sold or purchased their property, or buy an eye-catching, elegant welcome mat from a local big box store. Every time they walk in or out of the front door, they’ll see your gift and have you in mind.

#9. A Branded, City-Specific Keychain

As the keys get handed over to your clients, help set the new set apart with a branded keychain. Consider having a volume of keychains printed with a photo of a landmark in your city, along with your logo and contact information. This helps ensure you’re seen daily when they grab their keys to head out the door or return home.

#10. A Gift Certificate to a Fun Local Class

A great way to help get your clients familiar with their new area and support local business? Gift them a class at your local art studio, gardening center, or cooking school.

Not only will you help them get more acquainted with their new surroundings, they’ll get to take home a nifty piece of art, floral arrangement, or new recipe. And they’ll have a new experience to look back on fondly — and remember you also gifted it to them.
