Oomis, I was playing devil’s advocate. It is accepted not to pay or tip a realtor, especially since the money comes out of the realtor’s successful sale. I was simply saying that heartfelt thanks, a note to his/her superior, maybe even a box of chocolates are all appropriate nice gestures. You’re enough of a mensch that I’m sure you would be appropriately courteous. I’m with you – extravagant, or even less extravagant but still costly gestures are not necessary, and should not be necessary to
a) be considered a mentsch
b) be given future service.
