I don't think about gifts from clients when helping them find a home. The best gift you can give a Realtor is a testimonial to help them obtain new clients, and give them some good word of mouth advertising or refer a friend or coworker.

Good point. Unfortunately for my Realtor, I'm something of a social outcast and few of my coworkers have it together enough to buy a home.

Whatever you give, she will have to turn over to her broker first. Then she'll get her share. Keep that in mind when you're deciding what to give. Maybe a box of chocolates or something small? Just to show your appreciation.

That is very thoughtful of you to consider giving your Realtor a gift. This can be a very thankless job at times. You don't have to spend much to show her your appreciation. Bake cookies or brownies for her. Better yet, write her a great review so she can earn more business. Good Luck :)

As they say, the best give is a good recommendation; but is not ilegal to provide additional commission to your relator. It just has to be done the legal way. This means you give the commission through the broker.
I am sure your realtor will be very appreciative.
