The closing gift they'll actually keep.

Most closing gifts get used once. A board engraved with the family name, the address and your brokerage crest sits on the counter for years, with your name on it every time someone asks where it came from.

  • Your brokerage crest kept on file, so agents reorder without resending artwork
  • Client names, the property address and the closing date
  • Bulk pricing on runs for a whole office
  • Delivery across Montréal, the West Island and the South Shore
  • 48 to 72 hours once the proof is approved

I ordered a custom engraved board as a closing gift for one of my clients and it turned out amazing. The engraving was clean, the wood felt premium, and my clients absolutely loved it.

We needed personalized gifts for our team and Engrave Theory made the whole process extremely easy. Everything was ready on time, beautifully packaged, and the quality exceeded our expectations. A great option for corporate gifting.
Michael TCorporate client
We wanted something more personal than a typical wedding gift and the engraved board was perfect. The names and wedding date came out beautifully, and it feels like something they'll keep for years.
Robert SWedding gift
I sent in a photo of my dog and couldn't believe how well the portrait came out on the wood. They captured so many little details and made it feel really special. Such a unique keepsake.
