@Suzy FarmanHere’s what’s worked for me:Leverage Airbnb/VRBO: Many insurance companies use these platforms via third-party services.

E&O insurance, MLS fees, electronic lockbox fees, association dues, contract fees, every software agents use.Many of these fees could be close to doubling by the end of 2026.
