JK | Do you give a thank you gift to real estate agent? |

People always like an expression of thanks.
There is no expectation.
A written note dropped in the mail that they can share with their family and staff would be nice. |

As a realtor, I NEVER expect a gift from my clients, but some have chosen to do so anyway. When I DO get a gift, I appreciate it very much, since it indicates to me that I did a good job for the client, and they are expressing their thanks to me.
A cute story for you. Eight years ago, I was handling the sale of the house of a somewhat elderly couple. We met often and regularly, since it was not an easy sale. As I visited with them, I became fond of their new puppy, which was an adorable Miniature American Eskimo.
Can you imagine my surprise when, at closing, they presented to me as a gift the litter mate of their little dog ?
I was nearly speechless, but cuddled the little fellow warmly in my arms and thanked them profusely. To this day, that gift still resides in my house and now I realize it was the very best gift I have ever received. I still remain in contact with this couple after all this time. We exchange holiday cards and pictures of each of our dogs. |

Their thank-you gift was the fee that they charged the seller. |

No, they should be giving you a gift. Remember, you just gave them $$$. |

You already did....it's called a commission check :).
If you liked working with the agent a Thank You note (with permission to use you as a reference) is far more valuable to the agent. A copy sent to the agent's broker is a nice touch.

You will be giving a commission of about 6 to 10%.
Sure if you want to give more, you can. Most people think the comission is enough. |

Giving your realtor a gift is unncessary. They make good money on the transaction. I honestly think they should give you a gift. I come into contact with a lot of realtors in my line of work, and many of them give gifts to their customers. Their commission is 2-7% of the sales price per transaction. One of the realtors I know always gives her clients gift certificates for a local dinner cruise. |

It is not inappropriate, but is not expected either; a heartfelt thank-you card is more typical. If you were particularly happy with the service and would like to express some appreciation, then by all means by a little something. |

You paid the agent a whole whopping lot of money and if you are really all that grateful, just mention their name and give them referrals. That's the gift that would make them happiest. |

If you got good service, then a thank you gift is perfectly appropriate. We gave our realtor a gift certificate to a local restaurant.
Supposed to? No, I don't think so. All depends on the 'relationship' between you and the realtor. |

They made money off of you and that's the gift that they are looking for! If anything, THEY normally send me Christmas cards and thank you cards for about two yrs. after a purchase. |

If you really like them, and if you think they did and exceptional job..then yes why not. But you dont have to do it. They thank you gift is a nice chunk of commission they are getting. |
