What are the best realtor closing gifts?

[Daphne V.]

I know showing thanks to clients with a closing gift is a traditional way many real estate professionals seal up a transaction. A closing gift not only serves as a special treat to your home buyers and sellers, but it can also help make you more memorable long after a transaction ends. So what do think the best gifts are? I am curious to see what are some innovative gift ideas other than gift cards and/or meals. Also do you give gifts to your investor clients?

For my residential clients, I treat them to maid (cleaning) services. A lot of times they are tired with moving and packing, every one of my clients have used their gift right away and showed GREAT appreciation. Some have used the cleaning services to clean the place they are leaving (especially if they are leaving an apartment to get housing deposits returned) and many right after they finish unpacking.

I haven't been giving gifts for my investors. Honestly, they just want me to find more great deals!!!
