ParticipantYou should definitely use him/her 1) to reward them for their service and friendship 2) to get some money back from their share of the commission (from the builder), which is otherwise NOT paid to you.
But, be careful–you must sign the contract with your agent present, or have made the first visit to the model homes with your agent present. The agent cannot come into the picture after you expressed interest to the builder. The builder only pays the realtor comissions if THEY played a role in bringing you there.

ParticipantAs a parent of 4, I hate this aspect of a birthday party. We would’ve thrown a lot more parties if the thought of obligating our friends to buy presents didn’t bother me so much. I would’ve allowed the kids to go to more parties if we didn’t have to worry about what you’re worrying right now. Kids nowadays have too much and nothing means anything anymore. Like someone else has said here–who needs more plastic junk that can only be played once? Also speaking of embarrassement, many years ago we went to a kid’s party and being immigrants and not knowing the American customs we didn’t know we were supposed to bring a present. The kids didn’t mind but what an embarrassing for us!

ParticipantWe recently bought in 4S. I reluctantly tolerate paying the mello-roos and HOA fees (which I absolutely hate) in exchange for living in a good neighborhood. These fees are becoming increasingly unavoidable nowadays. Aside from my disgust with these fees, we love the quality of life here.
