Yes I do. Without that agent, the transaction wouldn't have happened. I agree that sometimes you get someone on the other side who does not have the same standards and work ethic, but after all, you got to the closing table!

When they do a good job? Yes, I take the time to write a nice letter acknowleding their efforts, have my brokers sign it along with myself and mail it to the other agents. When it is earned, I dont tip every waiter we have when we go out to dinner if they dont do a good job either.

I usually don't write a formal thank you note but I will do so either via phonecall or an email. If the other agent got me out of some kind of jam (hard to think of an example right now) I will send a small gift.

Sometimes the other agent is not very thankable...if that is such a word. It all depends on how well the other side works with you.

I do Evelyn, 99% of the time. The 1% I don't is when I've had a real idiot on the other side who did nothing to help move the transaction along or even hindered it. I just can't lie at that point and say thank you.

Usually I send all thanks to participating vendors and agents via email at the day of closing. But sometimes you do want to do something extra, so I send a card, or a small thank you gift, or invite this person for lunch.

No. I don't. We are such a small group here. I usually shake hands and we talk about meeting the night before at one of the local restaurants. We are a very rural area.
