No, never, i do take them out to eat but somewhere but i seperate business from personal. I wish i had one of those new fancy outdoor kitchens as that would be impressive and keep them outside.

No not during the home buying process but over the years some of our clients have become good friends and we entertain them often at our home or out. We also go to their home too!

Debbie - I have not had clients over for dinner, but would not have a problem with some of them coming over to eat and hang out. We just typically meet them at a restaurant as people seem to like to eat out.

Debbie Reynolds - since I work by referrals, so many of my clients are my friends first - so to answer your question - yes.  Though not all have that privilege.

I have not had my clients over for dinner, however, I have been invited over (with my husband) for dinner to several of my clients new home. I love seeing how excited they are and that they are enjoying  their new home.

No. Inviting clients to dinner at our home has never been a practice unless the clients were also close personal friends.
