Sell off portfolio and rebuy or just suck it up and deal with the transfer fees?

Investor summaryNeutral

User asks whether to sell and rebuy stocks or pay high transfer fees to move portfolio from Cash App to Schwab.

Hopefully I'm in the right place to be asking this. If not, a little direction would be nice.

TLDR; I want to transfer my stock portfolio from Cashapp to a Schwab brokerage account, but want to spend as little as possible. Should I just sell off what I have and rebuy through Schwab or just do the account transfer?

I've been trading (not day trading) stock through Cashapp shortly after COVID started. So far I have built up a pretty good portfolio. Recently, and due to the PDT rule change, I would rather use Schwab as my brokerage instead of whatever Cashapp is considered. But here's the catch--Cashapp charges $75/stock transfer. I'm ignorant and am assuming this means per stock, and not per instance. If this is the case, I'd be spending a little over $600 just to transfer my account. So there is option 1.

The other option I was thinking was selling off the entire portfolio, and just hoping to have a little loss or gain (<1-2%) when rebuying through Schwab. I’m not entirely sure what would be the most cost effective solution. Any advice or guidance on the topic would be greatly appreciated!
