What is the difference of renting a home through real estate then without. Do I have to pay more?
Not much difference cause it depends on how good the house is and big. Then the price will come in.
It does not make any difference to you because the owner pays the real estate fee, but they might increase the rent to cover it. The only thing you can do is check comparable rents and make sure you are not paying too much over the going market rate for your area and accommodations.
