House Drawings

Realtors have found that giving a House Drawing to their client's as a closing gift if perhaps the finest gift they can offer. The House Drawing hangs on the walls of their client and is a permanent source of referrals for years.

Now that you have decided to give a House Drawing to your client the first question you need to ask is where do I go to get it done? Simply Google House Drawings and look at the choices available. There are many fine artists to choose from so you need guidelines to work from in choosing.

When choosing the artist for your house drawing look for these things:

Finest Artist
Price
Turn Around Time

Finest Artist: When selecting the artist to do your House Drawing check out their professional references and education. It is important to know that the artist is a professional and not an amateur working out of his or her basement. Having an artist with recognition and credentials gives status to your house drawing. Noted recognition such as "Who's Who in American Art", Professional Clubs, and Artist Societies, are to be sought after. Education is the other key item to look for. Does the artist have professional training and credentials from an established college or university? Was the artist educated in Fine Art or Art related curriculum? As an example on my Website I have made links to my credentials and education for reference.

Price: Ranking with the mastery of the artist is the cost of the house drawing. You may find the greatest artist in the world but do you want pay the greatest price? Be economical and prudent in your price range so that you can afford it and feel comfortable to do this on a repeat basis. Most artists have a price schedule for their work with assorted sizes and types. Look through these items carefully then contact them for more details.

Turn Around Time: You can have the finest Artist and the most economical price but if you do not receive your house drawing in time for the closing what good is it? Make sure that the artist can do the job for you on time.

If you follow the guidelines above you will be in good stead. Remember, a drawing of your client's home is a closing gift that will give you referrals and leads for years to come.
