Brokerage is intermediation between the seller and the buyer, and it is generally permissible as long as it does not involve assisting in a prohibited sale or pointing to something whose sale is forbidden. There is no harm in the property owner taking a commission when selling or renting out their property, and this commission is calculated from the price or rent.
