Selling a home is an emotional event. You are leaving behind a house filled with memories and venturing off to someplace new. The people buying your home are excited to create their own memories in a home that you loved for so many years. Welcome them with a thoughtful gift that will leave a lasting impression.<\/p>\n

Here are some ideas for gifts to leave for your home\u2019s new owners.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Personalized Key Rings: <\/b>Mark this milestone in the new owners\u2019 lives by giving them a special key ring. Engrave it with their initials, the date of the move, or even a special message from you. Not only is this thoughtful, but it\u2019s a practical gift as well.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      \n
    1. Mailing labels and stationery: <\/b>Personalized gifts go a long way. Create mailing labels with the owners\u2019 names and new addresses; if you want to go the extra mile, create personalized stationery for them as well. Leave these paper gifts on the kitchen counter with a nice note to surprise the owners.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
        \n
      1. Monogrammed Doormat:<\/b> Doormats are something that may not be at the top of a new homeowner \u201cto-buy\u201d list. Give them a monogrammed one or one that fits well with the decor of the home. They will surely appreciate this gesture.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
          \n
        1. Practical Items: <\/b>If you\u2019re skeptical about buying personalized gifts, stick to practical home items. Things like smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, unpacking supplies, or even a utensil organizer are useful to new homeowners. They\u2019ll be so busy when they first move in, and these are essentials that they should have immediately.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
            \n
          1. A Neighborhood Guide: <\/b>Write a detailed list of your favorite places in the neighborhood. Mention your favorite restaurants, boutiques, gyms and more. They\u2019ll love having your recommendations on hand when they start to explore!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

             <\/p>\n

            All of these gestures are incredibly kind and memorable. It\u2019s a nice way to welcome new people into the home and neighborhood you have loved for so long.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
