Closing gifts! Man this is getting fun!!!

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Christiansen Group Realty (260)704-0843

I'm in my 10th month of being a Realtor here in Fort Wayne.  When I started doing showings I thought that was the most fun part!  Then I started having closings and thought that was the most fun part!  Then I started getting creative with my closing gifts and I have to tell you...

THAT IS THE MOST FUN!!!!!!!

I started off just getting gift cards for my Buyers.  Then I started taking a picture of them during our final walk through and making post cards with the picture on it and a caption that says "Dave and Emily have moved!"  The cards look something like THIS.  It has return addresses on the back and also our information.  They can send those to all their friends! 

Then I really started listening to my clients...

Last Sunday during Terrell's final walk through I heard him mumble about all the leaves in the yard.  He also talked about how he doesn't even have a leaf blower and won't have time to get one until the following weekend. 

Well that's a NO BRAINER!

After I took their picture Sunday night (you can see that here) I slid back over there Monday morning before closing and blew ALL their leaves into a nice big pile.  I filled their kitchen counter top with a bottle of champagne, a big can of Blue Diamond almonds, a thank you card and a framed picture of them from the night before.  Then at closing I gave them an envelope with their post cards in them plus a few of my magnets. 

THAT is my favorite thing about being a Fort Wayne Realtor!

Jared & Amanda, Great ideas! I love the postcard. Who do you order them from and how quickly do you get them? We have a red carpet we roll out and take a picture for them and post it here and on my web site.  Blowing the leaves was a step above...Well done!

Jared, I got tired just reading about what you did. But since you're taking all those pictures why not make it into a Christmas card? I wrote this blog last December :)
