I'm not expecting a gift from my realtor, although she did take us out to dinner a couple months ago after showing us homes all afternoon, which we though was very nice of her.

But in most states, there is a minor catch:The person who is paying the commission (usually the seller) must be informed in writing of the gift to the buyer.I think most real estate agents engage in this practice, and it's legal everywhere that I'm aware of.

The key is getting them to keep remembering you so when they buy again, they'll go straight to you. When they give a referral, they will refer only you. Back to top
