Years ago, after I bought my first home, my realtor handed me a simple gift basket. It wasn’t flashy or expensive, but every time I used the products in that basket I thought of her. Imagine handing your client a customized cutting board with their family name and moving in date on it? What a memorable item they will save for years to come.
Personalized realtor gifts leave a memorable impression, demonstrating your genuine appreciation for your clients and their milestones.
In Canada, thoughtful gifting can significantly elevate your reputation, making you stand out as a professional who values personal connection. That in turn helps with referrals and repeat clients.
Typically, realtors and mortgage brokers adhere to certain guidelines around gifting.
There isn't a strict industry-wide minimum monetary value for gifts but common practice suggests that most realtors choose gifts ranging from $50 to $200. This depends on the significance of the transaction and the client relationship.
It's essential to balance thoughtfulness with appropriateness, ensuring your gift is memorable without appearing extravagant or overly promotional.
Here are ten custom gifts that combine charm, practicality, and Canadian quality to impress your clients. A few of these gifts are from our unique offerings and a few are Canadian businesses we love!
