Commission: Set, Calculate, Synchronize
Commission is recorded in three places: at the property, at the deal, and at the owner contact. The same logic applies in each place, choose a calculation mode, enter the values, and the system calculates. Synchronisation keeps the price and commission consistent as long as you want.
When do you use this?
Section titled “When do you use this?”- A seller wants to lower the final price, you let the system recalculate the net price
- You negotiate on the net price instead of the asking price, different calculation mode
- You export deal overviews and want to filter by commission level
At the property: Pricing section
Section titled “At the property: Pricing section”| Field | Type | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Commission | % | ≥ 0, no negative |
| Final Price | Currency | Asking price for buyers |
| Owner’s Net Price | Currency | Amount the owner receives |
| Sync Commission | Checkbox | Keeps price + commission auto in sync |
Two calculation modes
Section titled “Two calculation modes”Radio buttons at the top of Pricing.

- Owner’s Net Price = auto-calculated:
Net Price = Final Price / (1 + Commission / 100)Example: Final price 250,000, commission 5% → net price 238,095.24.
Final Price = editable. Owner’s Net Price = read-only.
