Our approach is to provide several little personal touches that have minimal cost but make our guests feel welcome instead of an “over the top” gesture.

If your looking for homes just make offers with the realtor who has the listing - no need to make a grand gesture to say "join my team" - If you like them after that deal is done - maybe work with them again - if not - don't.I guess what I am trying to say is getting a team together is something that happens organically and naturally VS today I am going to build a team.

It is ok for them to notify you of what's going on (if I were you, I'd appreciate that gesture), however enforcement is not in your court.

Not something they would normally do, but a gesture they wanted to make because the situation happened so new in the game. 

I could see it as a nice gesture for ideal tenants.

@Marc Pfleger I think 1200.00 (0.66%) is a kind gesture on your part given the agent wasn't involved at all.  

I find that these gestures are reciprocated.

It's a small gesture but can set you apart and sends a message that you care.

I have not tried them but there are also acoustical panels you can get to help as well.While none of this is required of you, if the tenant otherwise is a good tenant it might be a nice gesture.
