Closing a real estate deal is more than a typical business transaction.
It’s the end of the most important stage of your sales process — the one that often lays the foundation for future referrals and repeat business. In this case, a thoughtful closing gift is the way to further solidify the relationship with your client.
Our recommendation is to choose a gift that you think resonates with the client's personality or everyday needs.
Here are 30 realtor closing gifts worth considering.
