Three Post-Close Tips Every Buyer’s Agent Should Use
One of the best parts of being a real estate agent is the relationships you build along the way. You guide people through one of the most meaningful moments of their lives, and you work hard to earn their trust through communication, organization, and steady support. That connection should not end when the closing documents are signed. A thoughtful post close experience stays with clients long after they move, and it is often what turns a one time client into a long term relationship.
Here are three simple ways to stay connected and continue adding value once the deal is done.
Share Your Go To Local Pros
Once clients move in, they usually discover a few things they want to fix or update. A short list of well vetted local professionals can make a big difference. Electricians, painters, cleaners, handymen, landscapers, and any specialists you trust can help your clients feel settled and supported. Send the list soon after closing if they did not request it earlier. It is a small gesture that carries a lot of weight.
Check In and Keep It Casual
Reach out about a week after closing to see how the move went. A few weeks later, check in again, and ask how they are adjusting. That second follow up is a great moment to share a few of your favorite neighborhood spots, whether it is a coffee shop, a dog park, or a go to takeout option. These touches feel natural and genuine, and will remind clients that you are a continued resource, not just someone who helped them complete a transaction.
Help Them Stay Informed
People want to understand how their investment is performing. Sending quarterly market updates that are specific to their neighborhood, along with an annual CMA, helps clients feel informed and cared for. It also keeps you top of mind when friends or colleagues ask for a real estate referral. This is one of the simplest ways to maintain a long term relationship that benefits both sides.
Thoughtful follow up is one of the most effective forms of real estate business support. Every agent wants stronger relationships and a steadier stream of referrals, and these small touches after closing are often what set you apart. If you want support building systems that make follow up easier and more consistent, or if you feel ready for more structured real estate operations help, I’m always happy to talk through what that could look like.
