Should I get a thank you gift for my agent?

That is very thoughtful of you! Honestly the best gift my clients can give me is a referral or just to keep me in mind if friends or family have a future need. Congrats on your new home!

It's a nice gesture but absolutely not expected. The commission is their compensation for the work they did. Nobody in the industry expects a gift on top of that. That said, if your agent went above and beyond and you want to show appreciation, a small thoughtful gift is always welcome. A nice bottle of wine, a gift card to a restaurant they'd enjoy, or even a heartfelt handwritten note goes a long way. Agents keep those notes longer than you'd think. The single most valuable thing you can give your agent costs nothing. A five-star review on Google, Zillow, or whatever platform they use, and a willingness to refer them to friends and family. Reviews and referrals are the lifeblood of an agent's business and are worth far more than any gift. If you had a great experience, write about it publicly and send their name to anyone you know who's buying or selling.

Hi Kristin, you already got the best answers - no gift but gratitude and referrals. I wanted to add REVIEWS. Ask you agent to send you a link (or links!) to review them. It helps with SEO (search engine optimization) and will help folks find them on the web.

Yes, it is always appropriate to send a thank you gift to an agent who has provided you with exceptional service. Depending on your budget, this could be anything from a simple card or bouquet of flowers to a more extravagant token of appreciation. Whatever you choose, it is sure to be appreciated and fondly remembered.

The best gift you can give an agent is to tell them that they did a good job and let them know that you would highly refer them to others if it applies.

All the answers here are great: Mine is the same: Recognition, Appreciation, Gratitude, Referrals, and Reviews are all that we want and are greatly appreciated.
