It's not about the $$ spent, but the thought. I would take a $40 bottle of wine over an office branded yeti anyday.

I think it's possible your Yeti tumbler was a commentary on how easy or difficult it was to work with you. Perhaps she or he does not really want any repeat business from you? Considering the current downturn in the market that is a bit of a serious issue you might want to consider.
Nope - in all honesty, we were very easy to work with and the Agent did zero painting/staging, etc.

I agree a branded tumbler is kind of insulting.

You aren’t from the DC area, are you? No one wants a painting of their old house. LOL
