Q: “Denise, I just got a referral from another real estate professional (not an agent). What is an appropriate thank you gift or acknowledgement?”

A: Think about what you like to receive if you give a referral to a vendor. Is it a gift certificate to a restaurant or a coffee card? Maybe a box of chocolates? Maybe you have an account at a local florist and just need to make a call? It doesn’t have to be much, but a heartfelt thank you and a small token are usually always welcome and appropriate.
