When a real estate agent helps you to buy or sell a home, you can follow up with a nice thank you note to show your appreciation.
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. There are example thank-you notes for your REALTOR® below.
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 handwritten card which he kept on his desk for many weeks! However, you could send the agent a thank-you email.

[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 have that house sold. I appreciate your time on it, knowing your amount would be a lower commission than on a normal house sale. We look forward to working with you again in the future.
Thanks Again,
[Your Name]
#2 The sale of the house feels like a miracle! Thank you for getting it sold. We had tried to sell the house on our own for many months but failed. Your methods of attracting buyers worked! I was blown away to have three offers made on the house in the first week.
#3 Thank you for quickly selling our house. You are an excellent agent. Your knowledge of the area and what to list the house for was spot on. Please let us know if you good write a testimonial for your agency.
#4 We greatly appreciate your dedication to finding us a new home. Moving to [City] from a few hours away made it challenging for us. However, your expert information on each neighborhood and the schools helped us with your decision. We are delighted with the new house and its location. Thank you so much!
#5 Thank you for helping us find a lovely home in the countryside. We are grateful that you only showed us homes in our budget range. The sunset view is spectacular. Please stop by the next time you are close by.
Thank You Messages for Real Estate Agent For Selling Old Home and Buying a New Home

#5 You are a great agent! Thank you for your support as we sold the home we lived in for 25 years. While that felt hard, the new home is even more amazing. We have more room for the cats and much better views.
