Where LPT Wins

The Advantages Are Clear

💰
100% Commission, $5K Cap
BHHS agents give up 20-40% of every check. At LPT, you keep 100% of your commission with a $5,000 annual cap on flat fees. No splits. Ever.
🚫
No Franchise Fees
BHHS charges 6-8% franchise fees on top of your split. LPT is not a franchise - no royalty payments eating into your commission.
🤖
AI Tools No Other Brokerage Has
Dezzy.ai, RecruitAssist, and Media Stack are built exclusively for TPL Collective agents. BHHS offices rely on whatever tech the local franchise provides.
📈
HybridShare Revenue Share
BHHS doesn't offer revenue share or equity for agents. LPT's Brokerage Partner plan includes 7-tier HybridShare - build passive income by growing your team.
📊
Agent Equity (LPTA)
LPT agents can earn stock equity as they produce. BHHS agents build the brand's value with zero ownership upside.
🎯
Predictable, Low Costs
$500/deal flat fee, $195 processing, $500/year. That's it. No percentage-based splits that punish you for closing bigger deals.
Where BHHS Wins

We'll Be Honest

✓
Luxury brand prestige - The Berkshire Hathaway name carries weight, especially in the luxury market. For high-end listings, the brand recognition can help open doors. [VERIFY]
✓
Established referral networks - BHHS has built-in referral networks across their offices nationwide. Agents who rely heavily on company-generated leads may benefit from those pipelines. [VERIFY]
✓
In-person offices and mentorship - For newer agents who want a physical office, in-person training, and hands-on mentorship from a managing broker, BHHS offices provide that structure. [VERIFY]
✓
Name recognition with sellers - Some sellers specifically seek out agents at well-known brokerages. The Berkshire Hathaway name can be a differentiator in competitive listing presentations. [VERIFY]

✓ Are BHHS agents losing thousands every year to splits and franchise fees
