custom house portraits

A home is more than just a property — it’s a milestone in someone’s life. These hand-drawn house portraits by artist Karen Fike are designed to honor that milestone with something timeless, elegant, and deeply personal. Each portrait is created in black-and-white pen and ink on archival paper, sized 5x7, matted to 8x10 in a modern frame, and then signed and dated for authenticity. Whenever possible, the house number is incorporated into the design, giving each piece a subtle but meaningful personal touch.

Created from a photo you provide of your client’s home — whether it’s the property they’ve just purchased or the one they’re leaving behind — every portrait is tailored with thoughtful details.

For realtors, this isn’t just a closing gift — it’s a one-of-a-kind keepsake that transforms a transaction into a memory. Unlike a bottle of wine or a gift basket, a custom portrait is heirloom-quality, deeply personal, and impossible to forget. It’s the kind of gift that strengthens relationships, inspires referrals, and positions you as the agent who goes above and beyond.
