Instead of trying to anticipate your clients\u2019 tastes and wants, consider opting for something they\u2019ll need: lessons about the home they now own.\nFirst-time buyers might benefit from demonstrations about how to find and replace air filters, fix small drywall holes, seal drafts, or locate and flip breakers. More experienced homeowners or serious DIYers may appreciate online home improvement courses. If you\u2019ve undertaken your own projects or renovations, what first-hand knowledge can you pass along?\nYour lesson or investment in their knowledge could even save them money down the road. For example, the DIY cost to repair a drywall hole is $45 if it needs one sheet or less, according to homeadvisor.com. The national average spent on drywall repair was $509, and a professional may charge $60 to $90 per hour for handyman repair or about $50 to $75 per square foot.\nRather than drinking that bottle of wine and forgetting about it, your clients will remember your investment in their homeownership experience, which may lead to them consulting you again for expertise or even referral business.\u00a0","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Not all homebuyers will be comfortable with a smart speaker in their home or will appreciate a bottle of wine or houseplant as a closing gift.
