Texts are fast. Emails are expected. But handwritten real estate thank-you notes leave a lasting impression.
For agents, closing is part of the job. But for clients, it’s one of the biggest financial and emotional moments of their lives. A real estate thank you card reminds them they weren’t just another deal. They were a relationship that mattered.
And if you’re the client? A thank-you note to your real estate agent is just as powerful.
In this blog, we share a few examples of how to write real estate thank you cards, whether you’re a buyer, seller, or agent.
A Thank You Message to Your Real Estate Agent
Did you just buy or sell your home? A quick thank-you note to your REALTOR® will go a long way. They followed up, negotiated hard, and got you across the finish line — they’ll appreciate the effort.
Here are a few things to include in a thank-you card for your real estate agent:
- Mention something specific they helped with
- Thank them for their guidance and support
- Let them know you’d happily recommend them to others
Here’s an example:
Dear [Agent Name],
Just a quick note to say thank you for everything. You made the whole process so much easier, and I really appreciated your patience and guidance along the way.
I’m so glad I had you in my corner — and I won’t hesitate to send friends or family your way when they’re ready to make a move.
All the best,
[Your Name]
A Thank You Letter to a Seller After Closing
If you’re a real estate agent, sending a thank-you letter after closing the sale is an easy way to end the deal on a high note. It shows your professionalism, reinforces the relationship, and keeps you top of mind for future referrals.
Here are a few things to include in your “Happy Closing Day” message:
- Thank them for trusting you with their sale
- Wish them well in their next move
- Offer to support them (or their network) in the future
Here’s an example of how to say thank you to a seller:
Dear [Client Name],
Congratulations on selling your home!
Thank you for trusting me to help guide you through the sale of your home. I understand what a big step this is, and I’m so thankful we were able to get you a great result.
It’s been such a pleasure working with you, and I wish you all the best in your next home. Please know that I’m still available to answer any questions and help in any way, and I hope you’ll think of me next time you, your friends, or your family have any real estate needs that I can help with.
Best,
[Your Name]
A Thank You Note to a Buyer After Closing
Your buyers just made one of the biggest purchases of their lives. A thank-you note from a REALTOR® to the buyer after closing is a good gesture. It helps you celebrate that moment with them, not just as their agent, but as someone who was part of the journey.
What to include in real estate agent thank you notes to buyers:
- Acknowledge how happy you are for them
- Wish them well in their new home
- Extend an offer to help them with anything else, or answer questions
Here’s an example:
Dear [Client Name],
It has been such a joy helping you find your dream home! I wish you and your family a joyful future, making memories in this home.
Please feel free to reach out with any additional questions or concerns, and know that I am happy to help should you, your family, or your friends have any real estate needs in the future.
Looking forward to keeping in touch as you settle into your new home.
Congratulations!
Best
[Your Name]
Quick Tips for Real Estate Thank You Cards
Our examples are a great starting point. But if you want to go the extra mile, try writing your own real estate agent thank-you cards for clients.
- Deliver the thank you note via snail mail and send it to their new address as a welcome message to their new home.
- Make it personal. Add in specifics for why you enjoyed working with them and why you’re excited they found their dream home.
- Not the best writer? Don’t worry, it can be short and sweet. It’s the effort that matters.
- Don’t be afraid to remind them you’re available to help their friends and family as a way of generating referral business.
If you’ve just bought or sold a home, these tips also apply if you’d like to send a thank-you card or gift to your real estate agent.
Always Keep the Door Open
Handwritten real estate thank you cards show you care about more than just the transaction. They keep you top of mind — and can lead to referrals, repeat business, or even spark a real estate introduction letter to family and friends.
And if you’re the client? A short thank-you is the perfect way to wrap up an enjoyable real estate closing experience on a high note.
