Why More Fort Wayne Realtors Are Giving Totes as Closing Gifts

When someone buys a home, they remember the experience. The showing, the negotiation, the walkthrough - and yes, the closing gift. More and more Fort Wayne realtors are skipping the fruit baskets and wine bottles in favor of something their clients actually need: reusable moving totes from Totes on Loan.

The Realtor Perspective

Destiney Lawson, a Fort Wayne realtor, discovered Totes on Loan firsthand when she used the service for her own move. Now she gifts them to her clients:

Absolutely amazing and convenient service!! I personally used them and as a Realtor, I plan to recommend/gift Totes on Loan to my clients!

For realtors, this is a no-brainer. You want your clients to remember you fondly - not just when they sign, but when they are knee-deep in moving boxes a week later. A practical gift that makes their move easier? That is the kind of thoughtfulness that earns referrals.

The Client Experience

Cassidy, a first-time homebuyer in Fort Wayne, received 20 totes from her realtor as a closing gift. Her experience speaks for itself:

She was gifted 20 totes from my realtor after buying my first home and they were much more useful than I had expected them to be, especially the trolly! Nikki was very helpful with setting up drop off and pick up times that worked for me. Would definitely recommend to anyone getting ready to move.

Notice what stands out: the trolley (the wheeled dolly that comes with deliveries), the flexible scheduling, and the fact that the gift was genuinely useful - not just a token gesture.

Why Totes Beat Traditional Closing Gifts

• Practical when it matters most - Clients are moving within days of closing. They need boxes, not balloons.
• Reusable and eco-friendly - No cardboard waste piling up in the alley. Totes get picked up when the move is done.
• Branded with your name - Every time they pack a tote, they see your thoughtful gift. Every time they unpack, they remember who made their move easier.
• A story worth sharing - Clients tell their friends about the clever closing gift they got. That is word-of-mouth marketing you cannot buy.

How It Works for Realtors

Totes on Loan delivers plastic moving totes directly to your client's current location. Each tote is sturdy, stackable, and way easier to handle than flimsy cardboard. The standard package includes 20 totes plus a dolly, delivered and picked up on a schedule that works for your client.

Pricing is straightforward, and volume discounts are available for realtors who want to make this their signature closing gift. Nikki and David Stillson, the owners, handles delivery and pickup personally - so your clients get white-glove service from start to finish.
