If you're using an agent and it's a residential property, then the seller typically pays 6% of your purchase price to cover the commissions. Also, you should add anything you might negotiate to split with the buyer. Some purchase contracts from a buyer will specify the buyer and seller split an appraisal or title insurance or similar.
You can of course negotiate all this, or you can not use an agent and market the place yourself, but then you should estimate those costs.
