About this piece

Send us a photo of the home and we draw it as a crisp, minimal silhouette, then engrave it on a 4 by 4 inch slate with the family name underneath.

It is a favorite closing gift. Agents order one for each buyer, and families order them for housewarmings and grandparents.

What to know

One home per slate. Name up to 24 characters and a short line up to 28. A straight-on, daytime photo of the front works best.

Questions

What photo should I send?

A straight-on daytime photo of the front with the whole roofline visible. Listing photos are ideal. Please send photos you took or have permission to use.

Will I see it before you engrave?

Yes. We email the line drawing and layout as a proof and engrave only after you approve it.

Will you post my home online?

Only if you say yes. The default is private. If you choose a showcase option when you order, we hide the family name and never show an address or house number.

Can I order these for every closing?

Yes. See the realtor page for volume pricing. Saved home silhouette templates make repeat orders quick.

How does ordering work?

You customize a piece and send an order request. We email a digital proof of your exact wording and layout, usually within 1-2 business days. You approve it, pay by secure Square invoice, and we engrave and ship.

Do I pay when I send the request?

No. Nothing is charged until you approve your proof. Then you pay the invoice by card or bank transfer. Larger orders may start with a 50% deposit.

What is a proof?

A picture of your exact engraving: the wording, font and layout on your piece. Check spelling and details, then approve it or ask for a change. We never engrave before you approve.

Can I return a personalized item?

Personalized items are made just for you, so they are final sale once you approve the proof. We want you to love it, so contact us if anything is wrong.
