If I was to move overseas and rent my house out, how much would I expect to pay a real estate agent to manage the property? Eg as a percentage of the weekly rental rate?
Looking for a ski-in/out chalet or Mont Tremblant Condo with Hot tubs and Pools? Try the the luxury Panache Mont Tremblant or Tremblant resort condos like the convenient Equinox Mont Tremblant or featuring the Bondurant Mont Tremblant or ski-in/out at the Altitude Mont Tremblant

I am a landlord in Sydney Australia and at the moment I am paying 8% of rent in Management fees. Also they usually take the first weeks rent at the start of a new lease.
With the shortage of rental stock though in Sydney I am sure you should be able to find property managers who could probably do better then 8%.

Commercial properties usually have contracts for a percent of the income in the range from 5% to 10%. some include a portion of first months rent, others dont.
for your situation, a house usually is a flat rate per month plus reimbursement expenses to handle repairs (or you can set up a fund for them to use.).
I hope that helps.

Most property management companies charge by a percent in
witch the market and other competition usually dictates just like
when you sell a home the company I had worked for charged a
monthly rate

Typically half of the first months rent 7 10% of the gross rents over the life of the lease.
