A percentage of rent collected. The number matters, but so does what it includes.
Letting fee
A one-off charge when a new tenant is placed, usually a portion of the annual or weekly rent.
Hidden add-ons
Statement fees, inspection fees, admin fees and marketing markups add up. We do not do this.
Cost of poor service
A cheap fee is expensive if your property sits vacant or the wrong tenant is placed.

Property management fees questions answered
How much does a property manager cost in Sydney?
Property management fees in Sydney are usually charged as a percentage of the rent collected, plus a one-off letting fee when a new tenant is placed. The exact figure depends on the property and the service. The Gallery quotes a single transparent fee with no hidden charges.
What is included in the management fee?
A good management fee should cover rent collection, arrears management, routine inspections, maintenance coordination, lease renewals and financial reporting. Always check what is included, because some agencies charge extra for each of these. The Gallery includes them in one clear fee.
Are there hidden costs in property management?
There can be. Common add-ons include statement fees, inspection fees, admin fees and marketing markups. The Gallery uses a transparent structure with no hidden charges, quoted in writing before you commit.
Is the cheapest property manager the best value?
Not usually. A low fee is expensive if your property sits vacant, the wrong tenant is placed or maintenance is neglected. The Gallery's median time to lease is 8 days and rent arrears sit under 1%, which protects your return far more than a small fee saving.
