Cool and Inexpensive Holiday Gifts for Your Real Estate Clients

One of the practices as a successful real estate agent is keeping in touch with past clients and staying visible to future clients. Frequent communication throughout the year with customers is essential to further building those relationships.

With the holidays rapidly approaching, sending a thoughtful gift is a great way to let past, current, and future clients know that you are still in the game—and that they are your valued customers. This small gesture is also a fantastic way to further build your personal brand and to continue marketing yourself. It may be difficult to think of inexpensive gifts to set you apart from your competition, however, there are plenty of options. To get you started, here are a few recommendations.

Personalized Photo Book. Wouldn't it be delightful to send past clients a book of pictures of their new home? Photo books make great gifts for clients that had real estate closings during the current year. However, presenting this gift takes some planning.

If your client had the home built from the ground up, it would be great if you had pictures from the building process to closing day to moving day. On the other hand, if your client bought an existing home, include pictures of your client on closing day and moving day, as well as various pictures from the community to make an ample photo book.

Many companies offer personalized photo books for sale, such as Wal-Mart and Kodak. For about $20 to $30, you will create memories to be enjoyed for years to come and make a lasting impression on your clients.

"New Home" Money Pot. We all know how expensive buying a new home is, but if your clients are going to save their pennies, at least give them a unique, charming money pot to help them reach their goals! This gift is perfect for your prospects that are saving funds to purchase their new home. This cute present can be found on the "Gifts for Professionals" website for about $40.
