Welcome Home! 10 Clever Real Estate Closing Gifts for Clients
After all the searching and negotiating, your clients are finally settling into their new home. Now that the ink is dry on the closing papers, it’s time to think about the perfect realtor housewarming gift ideas. Closing gifts for buyers serve a couple of purposes: to congratulate the new homeowners and set yourself up for referrals.
Tastes vary from client to client, so finding the right realtor closing gifts can be tricky. Read on to find the best closing gifts for any style or budget.
1. Custom BBQ set
Custom BBQ tools are one of the best gifts for first-time homeowners, and for good reason. Help the grill master break in their new deck or patio with a new grilling set. You can gift it alone or pair it with a personalized apron and custom cooler to create a new homeowner gift basket fit for a king or queen.
2. “Kitchen Essentials” gift basket
The best realtor gifts for clients are often items that serve an everyday purpose. Help your clients break in their new kitchen with a gift basket stuffed with all the essentials, including a custom cutting board, kitchen tools and accessories, flour sack tea towel, and a personalized potholder or oven mitt. Or, for the budding chef, up the ante with a custom knife set and bamboo cutting board with handle. Shop these kitchen favorites for creative closing gifts:
3. Plants
Do your clients have a green thumb? A grow-your-own tree kit or indoor herb garden is a thoughtful—and sustainable—way to help them put down some roots in their new home. Each kit contains easy-to-follow instructions, so even those that don’t sport a green thumb can help their new plants thrive. Want to do something a little different? Our hydroponic set lets them experiment with soil-free gardening. These plants make for the perfect realtor housewarming gifts:

Nothing says “congrats on your new home” like a real estate closing gift basket full of custom chocolates.

Whatever you choose, the new homeowners will love these sweet and thoughtful realtor client gifts:
5. Personalized handyman tool kit
A new home comes with new responsibilities—and a lot of maintenance. Help new homeowners get off on the right foot with tool-themed real estate closing gifts. Help them hang pictures and artwork with a personalized measuring tape and level, or make sure all their project needs are covered with a 25-piece super tool kit. They’ll appreciate your gift with every project they take on.
6. Coffee gift box and custom mugs
Buying a home and moving in requires a lot of caffeine, and coffee-themed realtor gifts for clients will never go unused.
