How to Send Trees to Real Estate Clients
There’s something deeply hopeful about a new home. It represents fresh beginnings, long-awaited dreams, and the promise of memories yet to be made. For real estate agents, helping a client find their new home is more than a transaction—it’s a relationship built on trust, care, and guidance through a major life transition.
We believe in honoring those moments with living, lasting gifts. A tree planted in your client’s name marks this milestone with meaning. It celebrates new growth in their life while giving back to the earth, and it creates a thoughtful gesture that sets you apart in your profession. If you’re wondering how to send trees to real estate clients, then this is the post for you.
More Than a Closing Gift
Traditional closing gifts like bottles of wine or kitchen gadgets are appreciated, but they often end up tucked away or forgotten. A tree, on the other hand, continues to grow and thrive for decades. It offers a sense of connection, not just to nature, but to the homebuying journey you shared with your client. There’s a growing awareness among homebuyers and professionals alike about the value of planting trees—not just as beautiful symbols, but as impactful actions. In fact, our team was recently featured in Redfin’s article on how to plant a tree that actually survives, where we shared expert advice on the importance of choosing the right tree and planting it with purpose.
This same thoughtful approach applies when gifting a commemorative tree to your real estate clients. You’re not just giving a token of appreciation—you’re helping plant something that contributes to cleaner air, stronger ecosystems, and a greener future. And you don’t have to dig a hole in the backyard to make it meaningful. Our tree planting program ensures each tree is professionally planted in a national forest or conservation area in need of reforestation, making it a gift that’s as practical as it is symbolic.
Each tree planted contributes to reforestation efforts in areas impacted by wildfire, disease, or deforestation. It’s a meaningful way to celebrate while making a difference in the world—something that resonates deeply with clients who value sustainability and social impact. You’re not just congratulating them on a new home—you’re giving them the chance to be part of healing the planet.
Stand Out in a Meaningful Way
In real estate, relationships are everything. A thoughtful follow-up gift helps keep your name top-of-mind, but more importantly, it strengthens the emotional bond between you and your client. When you send a celebratory tree planting, you’re not just closing a sale—you’re opening the door to a lasting connection. You will receive a beautifully designed certificate, personalized with your client’s name, a heartfelt message, and the location of the tree planting. This certificate becomes a keepsake—something they can frame in their new home as a reminder of the journey they’ve just completed and the new one they’re beginning. For clients who appreciate thoughtful, unique touches, this kind of gesture doesn’t go unnoticed. It shows that you’ve taken the time to reflect on what this moment means and chosen a gift that reflects that meaning.
This kind of gesture can lead to referrals, repeat business, and genuine appreciation that extends well beyond the sale. Your client will remember how you made them feel valued, celebrated, and honored.
Ideal for Every Client
Whether your client is a first-time homebuyer, a growing family, or someone downsizing into a new chapter, a planted tree fits every story. It’s universal in its symbolism and adaptable in its presentation. You can choose the planting location based on the region they’ve moved to, or select an area in need of restoration as a way to start their new chapter with a positive impact.
And if they’re moving far away? A tree planted in a national forest or conservation area makes a perfect long-distance gift—beautiful, symbolic, and heartfelt, no matter where they are.
How It Works
Sending a tree through The Trees Remember is easy and impactful:
• Choose your package. Select the number of trees to plant and the planting region that feels right.
• Personalize the message. Include your client’s name and a note of congratulations and well-wishes.
• Send the certificate. It can be mailed directly to your client or to your office for a personal handoff.
Helping someone find their home is helping them plant roots. A celebratory tree reflects that idea both figuratively and literally. It’s a way to say, “May this new home be filled with growth, strength, and new beginnings.” We’re honored to be part of life’s most meaningful milestones. Let us help you celebrate your clients with a gift that lasts a lifetime—and grows along with them.
