Almost every successful real estate agent that I know gives a closing gift. It's almost expected at this point. Do you know what happens when something is expected? It becomes a commodity instead of a brand builder. The question then becomes, how do you raise the bar on client gifting without finding ways to outspend your competition? Let me start with a couple of facts: Around 21% of your real estate clients will be repeat clients. Another 21% will come from client referrals.
