• Celebrate buying a home by giving your client a gift.home sweet home image by David Dorner from Fotolia.com
  
  If you help homeowners decide on which mortgage is their best option, then you may want to thank them for doing business with you. Consider giving each homeowner who closes on a mortgage with you a special celebratory gift. Mortgages are a huge decision, and they sometimes can be stressful. Ease the minds of your clients and let them know you appreciate them with an inexpensive, yet thoughtful gift.
  
  

Home Sweet Home Gift Cards

• Purchase a gift card from a store or an online vendor that will help your clients settle into their new home. For example, you might consider purchasing a gift card from a home goods store, a home improvement supply store, a kitchen store or a grocery store. These are all good options for your clients to find items they will need for their new home. Purchase at least a $20 gift card.
  
  

Lawn Service Gift Certificate

• Closing on a mortgage means your clients suddenly have all the responsibilities of owning a home. One of the biggest hassles to home maintenance is the yard. Work out a deal with a local lawn service business to cut, weed and care for your clients’ lawn for a month. You can present this gift certificate to your clients at the official mortgage closing.
  
  

Refinancing and Renewal Gift Basket

• Give clients who are refinancing their first mortgage a gift of “renewal.” Refinancing can be a very stressful decision. Consider giving your clients a gift basket that is filled with items to help them relax. Some examples might be a bottle of wine or sparkling fruit juice, a box of chocolates, fuzzy slippers, a bag of coffee, a coffee mug with your company’s logo, and a fragrant candle.
