Your sale price
Our commission is progressive, like tax brackets: each band of your price is charged at its own rate, so your blended rate drops as your price climbs. $0 upfront, you only pay when you sell.
Your BridgeBook commission
You keep $2,257,000 of your sale price.

Why progressive?
A $5,000,000 deal doesn't take 5x the work of a $1,000,000 deal, so you shouldn't pay 5x the rate. Your effective rate drops as your price rises, and because our fee still grows with your price, we stay motivated to get you the highest number possible.
