I have been involved in real estate casually for several years, always as a side thing as related to our family goals at the time.

But if it's a sub 2 deal, I like to make an appearance to make sure everyone is on the same page and fully understanding what we're doing.Also, if it was a particularly good deal for all involved, I might come snap a picture or two and gather some good feedback for the "testimonials" page on my site and/or newsletter.

I've been involved in real estate for over 40 years and this is the first time I've ever thought of this situation!
