Do you tip your real estate agents ?

When would you tip them? Commission time? When they show a hose? Datalounge really draws the best and brightest.... The "commission" is their tip. It's far more than adequate. A real estate agent is already getting far more money than they deserve with their commission. And you want to give them MORE money OP?

I read that if you tip your realtor, then you actually have to redo all the paperwork to show that.

Of course you tip them! They barely make minimum wage.

p.s. Just between you and me... sometimes they sleep in the tool shed or basement of the homes they're showing.

Honey, no. They give their clients gifts to thank them for the large commissions they receive.

Sure, OP.

Oh fank you realtor for spending an hour to show me a home and submit a bid. On top of your half of 6% of the sale price, here’s a tip for $500.

Idiot.

If anything realtors should be tipping clients. They’re vultures.

R10, my last realtor didn’t give me anything and she made commission on both ends of my purchase and sale. Delightful woman.

Hell no. Those bitches already make too much.

It is illegal for a realtor to collect any fee not part of the commission. So, no tipping.

R12, did she disclose that at the time of your contract? If not, she could be in violation of state laws.

R12 I got a box of delicious chocolates. I tried to look them up online to see how much she spent but couldn't find a price anywhere. Weird.

They usually gift you and if they were good, you give them your next listing and refer friends.

R16 She probably got them from TJ Maxx.
