What is on everyone’s minds now? Holiday gifting. Most importantly for homeowners, how much to tip your building staff. Read on to see what a number of different real estate blogs recommend.
I have gathered data from a few different sources on holiday tipping from 2013 as the 2014 information has not been published yet. Links are enclosed below, but the general consensus is that cash is king and early disbursement of tips is very much appreciated – as early as right before Thanksgiving. The staff need resources and time to shop for their own holiday gifts! Other factors that come into play are building size, family size and length of residency in the building.
