My gift to them was my expertise and service.  I let them know that my gift to them on closing is the promise to treat their friends and family in the exact same way!  The line forms to the left . . .

I send them a wonderful cake from Penn Street Bakery in a personalized tin telling them it was "sweet doing business with them." People love those cakes! (I can't quite bring myself to give knives as gifts, even though I've owned a Cutco set for almost 20 years and love them.) Also I send a handwritten note to them and a certificate in their name showing my contribution on their behalf to Children's Miracle Network.

I find that it dilutes the professional aspect of our work. Whether it's on the purchase side or selling I haven't seen it's benefit.

Nothing to either.  They don't buy me a gift.

Looks like sellers get the cash in their account so no need to worry about giving any other gift!

Thanks for your responses.

I don't usually give a gift to the sellers. But I do send them a thank you card.

A big check at closing is the most important thing that they need, other than that keeping in tough is the next important thing you can do for them.

It varies from a simple thank you card to gift baskets, tickets to a concert or other personalized gifts.

I like the gift idea and I know it means a lot to your buyers and sellers.  Even as a loan officer, I like to give a small gift to my clients. Today, I am bringing one of my clients a dozen homemade cookies. Nothing big, but just a small gesture to let them know I am here for them.
