Closing Gifts from Realtors and why gifting is so important to your business.

 

As a real estate agent, you know that establishing long-lasting relationships with your clients is crucial for your business. One way to achieve this is by giving a thoughtful closing gift. Not only does it show your gratitude and appreciation to your clients, but it also serves as a reminder of the transaction and can prompt them to refer business your way in the future. In this article, we will discuss the importance of real estate closing gifts and provide tips on how to choose the perfect one.

Why Real Estate Closing Gifts Matter

Closing gifts have numerous benefits for real estate agents. Here are a few reasons why they matter:

Building Rapport -

A closing gift can help build rapport with your clients. When you give a thoughtful gift, it shows that you have put in the effort to get to know your client and their preferences. This can make your client feel valued and appreciated, which can strengthen your relationship.

Client Retention -

A closing gift can help retain your clients. When you show your clients that you appreciate them, they are more likely to return to you for their future real estate needs. Moreover, satisfied clients are more likely to refer their friends and family to you, which can help grow your business.

Marketing -

A closing gift can be an excellent marketing tool. When your client receives a gift from you, it serves as a reminder of the transaction and can prompt them to refer business your way in the future.

Differentiation -

A closing gift can help differentiate you from your competition. Many real estate agents do not give closing gifts, so when you do, it can set you apart from your competition.

 

Choosing the Perfect Real Estate Closing Gift

Choosing the perfect closing gift can be a challenge. Here are some tips to help you choose the perfect one:

Personalization -

The key to any great gift is thoughtfulness. The more you can personalize the gift to your client's personality, the better it will be. Consider their hobbies, interests, and preferences when choosing a gift. We always handwrite your personal note which adds another level of personalization to your gift.

Occasion -

Consider the occasion for the gift. If you are closing on their new home, consider gifts that are useful in the new home, like a gourmet gift box that include something they can keep and use, our Olive Oil Dipping Set Gift Box, which includes olive wood dipping bowls. A great gift they will use for years to come.

Budget -

Consider your budget when choosing a gift. The estimated average for spending on closing gifts is between 1% and 5% of your commission. However, the gift can be anything from a simple token of appreciation to a more significant gift, depending on your relationship with the recipient.

Branding -

Consider incorporating your branding into the gift. We can add your logo to the gift box or gift tag included on the box.
