My family did what all our clients do... we moved. I now have a newfound appreciation for what our clients go through after closing! Though it's been three weeks we are still surrounded by stacks of unpacked boxes and have only vague, conflicting thoughts as to where they should go. Add to the chaos our three kids, two dogs, and the fact that we both work long hours from home and - holy moly!
Most agents give their clients a nice gift at closing. Myself included. But I have to say this move has me rethinking that. Three weeks ago we were all excited about our move. The boxes seemed lighter and fewer, and surely there weren't so many stairs in the new house!?! NOW is the time I could use a lovely surprise - not three weeks ago! I'd bet ALL our clients feel that way about a month after the move; before they're settled but after the initial excitement has waned. This is when the move feels "real." So, I now find myself reconsidering the timing, and perhaps even the nature, of my clients' closing gifts. Something a little fun, a little useful, and at a time that it will bring them a little more happiness when they need it most.
