5 Gift Ideas For Your REALTOR®
Everyone is different, including REALTORS®. Try to personalize gifts based on their specific tastes and needs. Here are a few ideas to help you find the perfect real estate closing gift to thank your agent.
1. The Gift Of Gratitude
Every agent will appreciate positive social media posts, reviews, testimonials, ratings and referrals. This can be both an online review and in person. However, there’s something deeply personal about receiving a handwritten thank-you note. You could take this a step further and give both a thank-you note and a gift if you choose to spend the money.
2. Gifts For Their Desk
Your REALTOR® likely spends a lot of time at their desk when they’re not showing houses and helping clients buy a new home. Even if you never see their desk or home office, you can consider their style to give gifts that inspire them while they’re working. Some ideas include:
- A high-quality paperweight or another decorative piece
- A small potted indoor plant set, like succulents or an orchid
- A high-quality pen, such as a fountain pen
- Personalized stationery
- Candles
- A desktop clock
- High-quality or designer tools like staplers or tape dispensers
3. Gifts For The Commute
Agents spend a lot of their time in cars. They travel from their homes to their offices to potential homes for their clients and more. You can make their car time more enjoyable with gifts like:
- Phone dock
- Audio AI for the car, such as an Echo Audio
- Driving gloves (if you live in a cold climate)
- Dash camera
- Jump starter
- Business card case
- Travel mug or cup
4. Gifts For Tech-Savvy Agents
If your REALTOR® is tech-savvy or appreciates the latest technology trend, you could consider one of the following gifts:
- Portable battery or phone case with a battery extender
- GPS locator to pair with their phone, such as a Tile or an Apple AirTag
- High-quality headphones such as Apple AirPods or a headphone case
- Screen cleaners and protectors
- Tools to enhance their camera
- Phone tripod for taking pictures
- Laser distance measure
- VR headset
Tablets are popular in real estate, so similar accessories for a tablet might be handy for your REALTOR® as well.
5. Gifts For The Home
You’ve likely spent a lot of time talking homes with your REALTOR®, so you probably know what they like. Here are some interest-based gift ideas:
For An Agent Who Loves The Kitchen
If your REALTOR® loves to cook or enjoys watching cooking shows, you could give them something for their kitchen such as:
- A coffee maker such as a Keurig or French press
- Tea and tea accessories
- Fancy spices or a spice rack
- A wine rack
- A cutting board
- Coffee mugs
- A local restaurant gift certificate
For The Interior Decorator
Does your REALTOR® have a great eye for design? Perhaps they’re in the process of redoing their own home. Either way, you may want to consider a design or home improvement gift such as:
- A nice flower vase with fresh flowers for a personal touch
- A decorative plant such as a succulent, bonsai or orchid
For Other Clients’ Homes
Even if your REALTOR® isn’t redesigning their home, gifts for their open houses might be the perfect way to say thank you. Here are a few ideas:
- Items that can bring any home staging up a level, or would also work well in your agent’s own home
- Wax melter or oil diffuser for an enjoyable scent
- Portable Bluetooth speakers that they can take with them to any showing
- Dustbuster or another portable vacuum
- Smart home technology like video doorbells, smart plugs or smart light bulbs
