• Enter a number in the Property Price ($) input field.
• The minimum value allowed for this field is $1,000.

Step 2: Select the Brokerage Rate

Step 4: Include Any Additional Fees

If there are any other additional fees associated with your transaction, enter those in the Additional Fees section. This field is optional.
