Is it "proper" to send a thank you, gift, ect. to your realtor?

Whereas it might be a bit unusual, there's really nothing wrong with it. I recently sold my house, and was very happy with the realtor-- he really went "above and beyond" and brought a full-price offer in a reasonable amount of time, in a stagnant market. So we sent him a thank you card with a $100 gift card to nice restaurant in town-- and it went across really well. He actually called back and said it was the first time in YEARS anyone had done something that nice. So I'd say "Do it!"

my friend gave her realtor a little gift- i don't remember what it was but the realtor found her a house quickly and in a neighborhood she liked, so she felt she should thank her. The broker she didn't bother with - he made enough money on her sale. LOL

I wouldn't worry about a gift, she most likely made a bunch of money on the sale, I'm sure she's thankful!! lol. Figure, they usually charge a 6% commission, I believe 3% goes to the company listing it, 2% to the listing agent, and 1% to the selling agent. That's just a rough guesstimate on the percents, but that's basically it. That's why listing agents love to sell their own homes. Anyway, she should be sending you a gift(seriously our agent sent us one), if she was a good agent, she would. If you want to send something, I think a Thank You card would be more then enough.

I don't think that it is ever improper to be grateful. I have never given a gift to a realtor/broker before ... but as soon as I sell my house I might just do that. I think that it is very considerate of you to thank your realtor for a job well done. Outstanding service should be recognized, that way others might take note.

Sounds like you are totally pleased with their service and a Thank you in the form of a card is just fine. I've seen realator's send buyer's gifts before and have received gifts in this capacity before. I don't think there is anything wrong with reversing the action. It shows you are appreciative of the hard work they put into serving you.

I don't think its odd. When I bought my house I sent the realtor a thank you letter.

I'm sure it is a bit unusual, but I think sending a note would be a very lovely surprise for your realtor and broker, it would also encourage them to work as hard for others in the future, knowing that their extra effort is noticed and appriciated.
