If so, what percentage of the sale price should the tip be?

According to Chatbot BARD:

....It is not customary to tip a realtor after the sale of one's house. Realtors earn a commission on the sale of a property, so tipping them is not necessary. In fact, some realtors may find it offensive or awkward to be tipped.

If you want to show your appreciation for your realtor's hard work, a handwritten thank-you note or a small gift is a more appropriate gesture. Some popular realtor thank-you gift ideas include:

A gift card to their favorite restaurant or coffee shop
A bottle of wine or other alcoholic beverage
A bouquet of flowers
A personalized mug or coffee cup
A gift basket filled with their favorite snacks or treats

No matter what you choose, make sure it is something that your realtor will appreciate and enjoy. A thoughtful gesture is always more meaningful than a monetary tip.

Here are some additional tips for thanking your realtor:

Be specific about what you are thanking them for. Did they go above and beyond to help you find your dream home? Did they negotiate a great price for you? Let them know how their hard work made a difference.
Be sincere. Your realtor will be able to tell if you are being genuine.
Be timely. Don't wait too long to send your thank-you note or gift.

By following these tips, you can show your realtor how much you appreciate their help and hard work.

Let your conscience be your guide. -- Pope
