Quote from @Michael Smythe: @Andy Ramos a one-month Placement Fee is industry average.- Just be careful as many companies are offering flat fees, but do NOT tell owners they may only be putting their rental on Zillow and their website, but NOT the MLS.Renewal Fees typically are flat-fee based and another one-month fee is unreasonable.

@Michael Watts, It is my opinion that if there are unknown persons with redemption rights, the guardian ad litem's ethical responsibility will always be to request an auction.

I agree with @Michael Plaks that the pricing should be discussed prior to the start of the engagement.My firm does not like the hourly invoice method because I find it can potentially cause anxiety to clients who may not know the final price.if you were a nice client and paid an hourly fee, maybe there was a lot of time towards 'setting' you up as a client(inputting your properties, prior year carryforwards, depreciation schedule, etc) which won't be a cost for you going forward.Best of luck.
