Local Strata Manager is free for owners and committees. Verified strata managers fund the platform by choosing one of two rails: pay-per-lead with a flat unlock fee and no monthly fee, or a $49/mo Success Match subscription with $0 unlocks and a one-off 20% fee on the Year-1 base management fee only when they win.
Owners and committees never pay us. Every dollar the platform earns comes from strata managers, and managers choose one of two published rails.
There is no fee for owners, committees or lot owners at any point. You can submit a request, receive a shortlist, compare quotes and appoint a manager without paying us anything, and there is no obligation to switch managers.
Option 1 — Pay per lead ($0/mo). No monthly fee. A manager pays a flat unlock price only when they decide a lead is worth quoting:
Option 2 — Success Match subscription ($49/mo). The manager unlocks all leads at no cost and pays a one-off 20% of the Year-1 base management fee only if they quote and win the business. It is not an ongoing commission and it does not continue after Year 1.
Managers pick one option, not both: while subscribed there are no pay-per-lead unlock fees, and pay-per-lead managers never pay a success fee. Pay-per-lead managers can move to Success Match at any time by subscribing.
We don't take referral fees or commissions from insurers, contractors or other suppliers, we don't sell owner or manager data, and we don't sell ranking or placement. Managers pay for access to opportunities, not for preferential treatment. We don't recommend any manager; the committee decides who to appoint.
