Best Gifts for Real Estate Agents that Say ‘Thank You’
If you’ve recently bought or sold your house with the help of a professional real estate agent, you know how invaluable their support was during this major event in your life. Maybe they sold your home faster than expected or secured a higher price, even in today’s competitive market. For buyers benefiting from interest rates that are finally beginning to drop, your agent may have expertly guided you to options that perfectly fit your family’s needs. To show your appreciation, here are some thoughtful gift ideas for your real estate agent.
What agents say they love
What are the best gifts for real estate agents in 2025? Maggie McFarland, a seasoned agent with 30 years of experience, knows exactly what delights every agent:
“The best gift that we can get as a real estate agent is a great review or referral because that’s the crutch of our business. A lot of my business is from past client reviews and referrals.”
Every business thrives on credibility and trust to attract clients. So, what better way to elevate your agent’s credibility than by sharing your own powerful words?
If your real estate agent doesn’t have an online platform that allows you to post a powerful comment about how helpful they’ve been, Maggie suggests looking for a link sent to you by your agent.
“A couple of times a year, we will send out emails with a link that our clients can go on and leave their feedback or referrals.”
Other than a high-quality review, here are some other thoughtful and useful gifts you can give your real estate agent:
- Handwritten thank-you note
- Personalized coffee mug — agents are busy people and need fuel!
- Gift card to a favorite haunt or hot restaurant
- A gift basket filled with your agent’s favorite things
- Flowers to brighten up a home or office
McFarland is accustomed to receiving gift baskets and flowers, and she loves the feeling of appreciation they bring after all her hard work.
Whether you recognize it or not, the time you spend with your agent to buy or sell your home is bound to strike up lots of time for you to get to know each other. As with any gift, putting some thought into what could be the most useful for them will help make the gift more meaningful.
