Everyone welcome.
No. She sucked and her commission was far too generous IMO.

Our agent was expecting his first child a few weeks after our close, so we got him a gift card to a local baby store. He kicked ass, and we really liked working with him.
I don't understand why people are saying they gave a "gift" of a check. That was how you paid. A gift is something extra. Just say you didn't want to give a gift.

We loved our agent. We got her an edible arrangement
She came to our housewarming party last weekend and insisted on bringing food. She brought jerk chicken, a dozen cupcakes from a nice bakery in town, and gave us a lowes gift card. It was awesome having her there and she hung out for about 2 hours and got along really well with our friends.

Her comission was her gift, LOL. Seriously, though, we sent her a nice card thanking her and telling her if anyone we know is looking for a realtor we will recommend her.
My and my mother have a company making reuseable grocery bags and other fun things, we made my REA a set of matching grocery bags and her two little girls coloring book bags with coloring books and crayons.
My REA was beyond amazing, she's been with me for 9+months and is still emailing me to make sure everything is ok and that we are happy. I'm sure she'll stop by in a few months to see what we've done with the place.
See, I don't see it as "it's his/her job, he/she gets paid, no need to do anything more for stellar service." When I was in the hospital delivering my son my DH brought the staff/nurses bagels and a fruit platter. The nurses were just doing their job but we felt they were going above and beyond and we wanted to give them a small thank you. After my OB delivered our baby, I brought her office an edible arrangement as a thank you. I give my trash collector and mailman a small cash gift at Christmas each year. I tip at many places where a time is not expected but is often appreciated. Just because someone is "just doing their job" doesn't mean you can't reward them for service that is extraordinary.
OK, how about a doctor? I gave my doctor a gift after she delivered our baby and she was "just doing her job." I picked her based on positive recommendations and nothing more.
This is a personal choice; I wouldn't. But, I wouldn't be sending an edible arrangement or flowers to my OB/GYN either.
I think a recommendation and referral is enough.
