Agreements & Forms
Choose the agreement that matches your service. The waterfront and dock-home representation agreement is a specialized purchase and setup agreement; it is not a general standalone STR management contract.
Waterfront & STR Representation Agreement →
General Buyer Representation Agreement · Request STR consultation
STR Registration & Representation
General STR purchase or rental/sublease assistance: $5,000. Waterfront and dock-home acquisition program: $10,000. Ongoing STR management is optional and separately contracted.
Representation fee credit
The upfront representation fee actually paid will be credited dollar-for-dollar toward LPS’s brokerage commission for the completed purchase or executed lease covered by this Agreement. LPS will show the credit on the commission invoice or settlement accounting and will not charge the same amount twice. If the commission is paid by a seller, landlord, listing broker, or another party, LPS will account for the client’s fee credit in the final commission reconciliation. The credit applies to brokerage commission, not rent, deposits, down payments, third-party costs, or ongoing STR management fees. If no purchase or lease is completed, the existing non-refundable fee terms continue to apply except as required by law.
