Has a real estate agent helped you buy and/or sell a home recently? Were you a picky buyer that tested their patience? Did your real estate agent work out a short sale deal with the bank for you?
Take a few moments to write your real estate agent a thank-you note. I recommend a handwritten note that they can display in their office.
The last time I worked with a real estate agent, I sent him a note which he kept on his desk for many weeks!

[Real estate agent] name,
I am so thankful to have you as an agent. The short sale process was much longer than I expected. I am happy to finally have that house sold. I appreciate the time you spent on it know that your amount was less than a normal house sell. We look forward to working with you again in the future.
Thanks Again,

The sale of the house feels like a miracle! Thank you for getting it sold! We had tried many months to sell the house on our own without success. Your methods of attracting buyers worked! I was blown away to have 3 offers made on the house in the first week.
Thanks Again,
