Your Realtor does not owe you a closing gift. Let's kill that expectation right now.

Okay, like required closing gift. Because, like, I think people have confused entitlement with negotiations. You know, somewhere along the line, people have started to normalize that if you get a gift, realtor all must not be all that or trash, your realtor doesn't care, simply did a good job. All because you didn't receive an expensive, you know, gift, $300 worth of balloons, a big ass screen, you know, TV, um, designer, that, baby. Hold on, hold on. Is one of the biggest misconceptions in real estate. No realtor has to buy you anything. If your realtor saved you thousands of dollars from the jump, you helped you purchase the biggest purchase you ever made in your life, they've already done their job. A closing gift is exactly what it's called. A gift. Not a requirement. It was not something written into your agreement that if you close on your house, your realtor has to give you a gift. It's not something your commission pays for. It's up to your realtor to monetize their commission to buy you a gift, let alone realtors. You know, I know me, I buy my gift even before I even close. So why would I be buying prior? Honestly, me risk red flag. You know, for, um, I don't know if we're going to close for real. Um, I don't know. Am I wait myself? My however, the job of a realtor is to protect clients' best interest. Is to negotiate, possible, the best deal possible for you. They're supposed to catch issues before they come, expensive. Your negotiations, repairs, who worked through your financing. You manage your transactions. Is transaction together. The fall apart. Are realtors doing what realtors do. Absolutely. Give. However, across expecting they want that and works. Love and people use clothing, build not bashing literally people, buyers, sellers, who for want that not requirement. Mandatory. Didn't doesn't a doesn't care. Different life. Somebody's was bills. Saying, entitlement crazy. Good thousands that is value. Saying? Uh, the make that's because people deposit. Much to on didn't their honestly for the be a appreciated expected. Wanted.
