Buying a new home is an exciting and often stressful experience for many people. As a real estate agent, it’s your job to guide your clients through the process and make it as smooth and enjoyable as possible.
One way to do that is by buying closing gifts for your clients.
The top Maryland realtors get their clients closing gifts
When you get your clients a closing gift, you’re showing them that you appreciate their business and care about their happiness. It’s a simple yet effective way to build rapport and make a lasting impression.
A thoughtful closing gift can lead to referrals and repeat business!
According to a study by the National Association of Realtors, 41% of buyers and 63% of sellers found their agent through a referral from someone they know!

By providing excellent service and memorable closing gifts, you increase the chances that your clients will refer you to their friends and family.
The importance of closing gifts
Want some cold hard facts? According to a survey conducted by the Real Estate Staging Association, 95% of agents who regularly give closing gifts to their clients reported that it had a positive impact on their business.
AND 67% of those agents said that their clients were MORE likely to refer them to others BECAUSE of the closing gift!
Receive more referrals
Redfin reported that agents who spend $50 or more on a closing gift had a higher likelihood of receiving referrals from their clients.
Specifically, agents who spent $50 or more on a gift received an average of 3.3 referrals, while agents who spent less than $50 received an average of only 2.6 referrals. This means that realtors who spend at least $50 on closing gifts for their clients are nearly 27% more likely of receiving referrals from their clients!

Here are 5 personalized closing gifts for your client
It’s a great gesture to get a personalized gift for your clients, and Marylanders know that Maryland pride is HUGE in this state. Nothing will show your appreciation for your clients more than getting them a custom Maryland themed present.
Maryland Themed Home Sign
Why not welcome your clients into their new home with a Maryland themed Home sign! This base model here measures about 10″ x 30″ making it the ideal side to fit right above most doors.
What I love about this design is that it’s so versatile! Are your clients huge O’s fans? Replace the crab here with the Baltimore Orioles logo! Or maybe the Baltimore Ravens logo, or even just the outline of Maryland state. There’s so many possibilities for finding the perfect house warming gift with this design!

(oh yeah, and did I mention that discounts are available for top agents with repeat business!)
Maryland Wooden Flag
Nothing shows Maryland pride more than boasting the Maryland flag, and what better way to do that than with this very unique, wooden Maryland flag with a burnt finish?
This flag measures about 10″ x 18″ but custom orders for different sizes are always welcome! You can view this item in the shop here!
Custom Cutting Board
You can never go wrong with just getting a cutting board. Here’s an example of a cutting board I made using a combination of cherry wood, hard maple, walnut, and purpleheart! And I just LOVE how the purpleheart accents look in this design.
You can customize this cutting board by having your clients’ names engraved or including a personalized message! Contact me and we can discuss ideas together and work out a design that’s perfect for you and your clients.
Custom Wine Caddy
Maybe you built some good rapport with your clients and came to learn that they love their wine as much as you do. Well nothing will be this cute little wine caddy! Couple it with a fancy wine bottle and a pair of new wine glasses, and you have yourself a house warming gift that all your clients friends and family will be asking about (i.e. more referrals for YOU!)
Just like the cutting boards, you can always engrave the family name or a custom message on these wine caddys. You can order one in the shop here.
Family Scrabble Sign
If you want to go really personal, you can always go deep and get a personalized family Scrabble sign. These signs measure about 12″ x 12″ (+- 2″).
Not only is this a great home decor piece for a family in their new home, but your clients will also REALLY appreciate and respect you for going the extra mile to try and include the entire family in a thoughtful gift!
