What is considered a reasonable percentage to charge for just the placement, credit check and drawing up the lease? I know some agents still charge the full 10% up front - but it sounds excessive to me.

I agree, the agent cannot charge the same fee for this as they would have for full property management. Less work, same fee...? I would suggest 6-7% of total lease value. Make sure you know what is expected from agent if this placed tenant renews the lease once or more than once.
