Any advice is appreciated: We put an offer in, the offer was accepted, and inspections began. During the week after they accepted our offer, the sellers hired someone to move out their furniture and in that process the wood floors were severely scratched up. In the negotiations, our realtor pointed out the floors had been damaged and we would like a mere 2k to compensate for the damaged hardwood floor, as they were in better condition and not scratched when we put our offer in. The agent/seller said they are going to give us “nothing” when we initially asked for a total of 17k from the inspection report (there is a TON of dry rot, and many parts of the house that have not been updated since they moved in early 1980’s), so the 17 k was actually a low ball estimate, but we really wanted this house. The agent rejected the 17 k with no counter, and then we came back and decided ok, we still want this house, we will take the hit for the dry rot ourselves, but at the very least, can we get ...
We bought a house in 2022 (in a seller's market) and then sold it today (somewhat of a buyer's market here in Texas). We used the same realtor both times and she was amazing, even though we were on the more difficult side of the market both times. Obviously she got a decent payday from us both times, so I don't feel like we owe her anything more, but we were thinking of writing her a thank-you card and dropping it off at her office. Would it be appropriate to include a gift card or something as well, or would a thank-you card alone go a long way? submitted by /u/Cold-Priority-2729 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1tu8xmv/getting_a_thankyou_gift_for_realtor_after_closing/
