A 3D-Printed Home Model, Built From Their Actual House
Most closing gifts get used once, or never — a bottle of wine, a cutting board, a candle that's gone in a month. A 3D-printed model of the home you just closed doesn't disappear into a drawer. It's built from photos of their actual house, not a generic house shape, and it sits on a shelf or a desk with your name on the base long after the gift basket is empty.
Who Gives These
Realtors
A model of the buyer's own home is a keepsake they actually display — and every time it's on a shelf, your name or your brokerage's logo is on the base with it. It's the rare closing gift that keeps working as a referral reminder instead of getting used up.
Lenders & Loan Officers
In a referral-driven business, the close is the moment that earns the next call. A model of the home they just financed is a gift built specifically for that buyer, not a branded pen or a gift card — and it's memorable enough to be the thing they mention to a friend.
Builders
For a custom or spec-home closing, a model of the finished house is a milestone piece for the homeowner — the same idea as custom 3D-printed building models for general contractors and developers, sized for a single homeowner instead of a project team.
How It's Made
Send a few photos of the house — a street view, the front elevation, whatever you'd shoot pulling into the driveway — along with the address. No blueprints, no Revit file, no site visit. Most realtor and lender orders start exactly this way, since a buyer's home almost never has a design file sitting around the way a construction project does.
From those photos, the house gets modeled and then printed in-house on a professional 3D printer, in PLA, in up to five colors — so the finished piece can actually match the home's real materials (brick, siding, a painted door) instead of one flat plastic tone. PLA softens at around 140°F, so keep it out of a hot car and direct sun. Windows print as clean recessed openings rather than solid plastic. The whole process is run by someone with 10+ years in construction and VDC, including 4 years on-site — the same background behind the scale models built for general contractors on active pursuits.
What's Included
-
An engraved display base
The address, the buyer's name, or the closing date, engraved directly into the base at no extra charge.
-
A logo on the base
Yours or the buyer's, included at no charge with a vector file (SVG, AI, or EPS).
-
10-inch, multi-color
The closing-gift size: printed in up to five colors so brick, siding, roof, and a painted door read as the real house.
-
Turnaround: 2–4 weeks depending on workload.
A single home prints in well under a day — production and shipping are what set the real schedule. Tell me the closing date up front and I'll confirm what's possible.

Preliminary estimate

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you need blueprints or a Revit file to build a home model?
No — photos are enough. A street view, a front elevation, and the address are usually all it takes. If you do have a Revit file, a floor plan, or an architect's drawing, that helps, but it's not required.
Can I order a model of a home as a closing gift?
Yes — photos or plans of the home are enough to get started; you don't need a file already prepared. A 10-inch multi-color model is $800, with an engraved base (address, name, or closing date) and your logo from a vector file included. A second copy of the same house is $400.
How long does it take?
Plan on 2–4 weeks depending on workload. Tell me the closing date up front so the model is ready in time.
Can I put my name or my brokerage's logo on the model?
Yes. Every model ships on a display base with an engraved name, address, or closing date, and a logo can be added at no charge with a vector file (SVG, AI, or EPS).
How is this different from a generic house figurine or an Etsy model?
It's built from photos of the actual house — the real proportions, the real roofline, the real front door — not a stock house shape with an address sticker. It's also printed in-house in the US, by someone with a construction and VDC background, not shipped from an overseas print farm.
What if I need it by a specific closing date?
Tell me the date up front when you request an estimate. A single home prints fast, but I'd rather give you a straight answer on what's realistic than promise a date I can't guarantee once shipping is factored in.
Is pricing in US dollars?
Yes — every price on this page and in your estimate is in US dollars.
