If you have a closing gift go-to that you already love don’t feel pressure to change things up, great gifts are timeless! If, however, you’re looking for something fresh or creative, consider the ideas below. You can customize any of them to make them uniquely suit your client, which will make them incredibly memorable gifts.
A mini-session with a photographer A new home often signals a change in the family, whether it’s children moving out, a new baby joining the family, etc. The family will genuinely appreciate such a gift, and they’ll be able to decorate the empty walls of their new home with their own smiling faces. Tip: work out special pricing with a local photographer to purchase in bulk and use for your closings throughout the year.
A gift card for the best pizza delivery joint near their new home Moving = unpacking = stressed = definitely do NOT want to cook dinner! And probably can’t find the spoons. Or plates. This will be a hit with many clients. Some pizza places will even deliver beer or wine, too.
Newspaper or magazine subscription Do your clients read the paper? (Yes, some people still do.) Pick up the cost for a period of time. Or send them a one-year subscription to a magazine they’ll enjoy. This type of gift is something your client will love, and keep you top of mind all year long.
Pop a bottle Propose a champagne toast (complete with disposable champagne flutes) and give your clients and extra bottle to take home.
Facilitate game night If your clients have kids, 2-3 new board games with candy and pop-corn will create a great opportunity for parents to sit down with the kiddos. It provides an opportunity for some fun following what might have been a stressful time in their lives. People love experiences, and they’ll love you if you help them create a great memory for their whole family.
Tickets Tickets to a local concert or event are a great way to help your clients that are new to the area get out and experience their new community. It’s also a great way to unwind after a stressful moving season. Just make sure the event is far enough post-close that the timing doesn’t cause more of the stress you’re trying to help alleviate.
Return address stickers Looking for something that won’t break the bank, but is an added unique touch? Give your clients return address stickers for their home.
Stock the fridge Picture...your client opens the fridge (or pantry) in their new home and finds that it already has the essentials ready and waiting for them. From drinks, to snacks, to fruits and veggies for health nuts, this is an above and beyond way to wow, because it doesn’t just show you care, it shows you know their tastes and preferences, too.
Rekey the house If they’re not purchasing new construction, give your clients the gift of peace of mind, knowing they are the only individuals that have a key to their family’s home.
Cleaning service This is an especially big winner if the home wasn’t left in great shape, but under any circumstances your clients will appreciate this gift. This is another idea where you can work with your favorite independent business owner (house cleaner) and negotiate a special rate for purchase in bulk, or even a monthly fee for X number of houses, etc. Get creative to create a win-win agreement.
