What's the best closing gift for clients in Berkeley?

The Berkeley Bucks is a closing gift redeemable at 102 local Berkeley businesses — restaurants, spas, boutiques, and more.

How much should a realtor spend on a closing gift?

Most Berkeley realtors spend between $50 and $500 per closing gift depending on deal size — $100 for starter homes, $250 for mid-market, $500 for luxury closings. The Berkeley Bucks Card supports any amount from $5 to $500 so you can match the gift to the commission. Bulk orders of 10 or more cards can be quoted through the Berkeley Bucks Card corporate sales desk.

What's a unique closing gift idea for homebuyers?

Skip the charcuterie board and the engraved cutting board.

What's a good housewarming gift from a realtor?

The housewarming question is really "how do I welcome my clients to the neighborhood?"

Pair it with a handwritten note listing your three favorite spots in their new zip code.
