that’s a difficult decision your going to need to make. If you should decide to handle this as a business and not a friend you do have a few options.

I would first send another invoice to her.

If she still does not pay I would then send an invoice and letter explaining the situation (leaving out the friend part) to her broker. The broker is ultimately responsible for the actions of the agent. Many times to avoid legal action and potential bad press the broker will pay the bill and deduct it from the agent's commissions.

In the unlikely event that you don't get a response from the broker, I would submit the information to the local association of Realtors (assuming that the agent and broker are members). The association requires that all of its members stay current with their financial obligations and will encourage the agent and broker to handle the matter.

good luck
