HouseStage Realtor closing gift
A closing gift buyers actually use: a private design page for their new home
If 126 Design staged your listing, your closing gift can be a private HouseStage page for the buyer. Sign in, create a buyer link for the property, and send it or print it as a QR code on your closing card. Your buyer can keep the staged look or get a designer-approved furniture plan for the new home, and 126 Design delivers and installs it.
Why this works as a closing gift
Most closing gifts are enjoyed for an evening. Furnishing the house is the problem buyers face for months. Buyers of staged homes also have a specific wish: many want the home to look the way it did when they fell for it.
The buyer page answers that directly. It is tied to the property, it comes from you, and it leads to a real plan from the designer who staged the house.
How it works for agents
- 126 Design stages your listing, as usual.
- Sign in on the agent page with the email 126 Design has for you. Your staged listings appear there.
- Click “Create buyer link” for the property and copy the link.
- Text or email it to your buyer, or put it on your closing card as a QR code.
- Check the agent page to see how many links have been opened.
What your buyer sees next is described step by step in how HouseStage works. If your buyer asks whether they can keep the staged furniture, send them to this explainer.
Closing gift ideas compared

|---|---|---|
| Wine, flowers or a gift basket | A day or two | No |
| Engraved or personalized keepsake | Years, but mostly sentimental | Sometimes (address or house sketch) |
| Gift card for a home store | Until it is spent | No |
| HouseStage buyer design page | Through move-in and the months after | Yes, built around the staging and floor plan of that home |

Questions from agents
What is a good closing gift for buyers?
Something that helps with the move-in, not just the celebration. Buyers of a staged home often loved how it looked and now face an empty house. A private design page lets them keep that look or plan a new one with a designer, which is useful in the exact weeks they need it.
How do I create a buyer link?
Sign in at the agent page with the email 126 Design has on file for you. You will see your listings that 126 Design staged. Click “Create buyer link” next to the property, copy the link and send it, or print it as a QR code on your closing card.
My listing does not show up. What should I do?
Listings are matched to the agent email on the staging record. If one is missing, email tom@anureka.com with the address and the 126 team will link it to your account.
Can I see whether my buyer opened the page?
Yes. The agent page shows how many buyer links you created for each listing and how many have been opened. It does not show the buyer's answers, budget or proposal; those stay private between the buyer and 126 Design.
Does my buyer need an account or an app?
No. The link opens the home's page directly in any browser, in English, Simplified Chinese or Spanish. There is also an Android app for buyers who want it.
Is there any pressure on my buyer to purchase?
No. The buyer can look at the page, fill in the questionnaire and review a proposal without committing. Nothing is ordered until they approve a plan and pay a deposit.
