Closing gift ideas for buyers with kids
The best closing gifts are personal, cheap to make and impossible to throw away. When your buyers have kids, a coloring page of their new home checks all three boxes.
The new-home coloring page
Make a coloring page of the home they just bought with a headline like "Welcome Home, the Garcia Family!" Print it, tuck it into the closing card with a pack of crayons, and hand it to the kids at the closing table.
It costs a few dollars, takes a minute, and it's the gift the kids will remember. Parents keep it because it's their first home. Your name and number are in the corner, right where they'll see it when they're ready to refer a friend.
More ideas that pair well
- A framed copy of the colored page once the kids finish it. Ask them to bring it to a client event.
- A first-night box: paper plates, a pizza gift card, a flashlight, and the coloring page for the kids.
- A "neighborhood guide" with your favorite local parks, ice cream and pizza.
- A one-year home anniversary card with a fresh coloring page of the house, decorated for the season.
Keep it in the family for years
Send a new page of their home every December with "Happy Holidays from Your Home Team!" It's a reason to reach out every year that doesn't feel like a sales pitch, and it keeps you top of mind for the next move or referral.
What it costs
Your first page is free. After that it's $1.99 a page, or $4.99 a month for up to 30 pages, so a monthly plan covers closing gifts, open houses and holiday cards. Crayons run about 35 cents a pack when you buy in bulk.
Questions
