In this age of technology, digital thank-you notes are gaining more acceptance. Yet, a card received via snail mail still excites the senses and is a thoughtful reflection of your time and effort. A handwritten thank-you note to your clients can help you stand out from the volume of digital communications. It is also a tasteful and sincere demonstration of your gratitude.
Some real estate agents may think that a thank-you note is only warranted at the close of escrow, but there are many opportunities to send thank-you notes to your clients. Use the messages below for inspiration, and customize each to fit your tone/voice. Among many things, please make sure your note is generous, specific, prompt, succinct, and personal.
