Epique Realty wraps a premium price tag in perks — car washes, AI headshots, roadside assistance. It's a clever package. But strip away the perks and look at the actual fee structure: an 85/15 split, a $15,000 cap, $149/month, and a 0.1% transaction fee on every deal. That's not elite. That's expensive. Here's what the same production costs at LPT Realty.
| Feature | LPT Realty | Epique Realty |
|---|---|---|
| Commission Split | 100% — you keep it all | 85/15 — Epique takes 15% |
| Annual Cap | $5,000 | $15,000 (declining to $10K by year 6) |
| Monthly Fee | $0 | $149/mo ($1,788/yr) — or $99/mo if paid annually |
| Transaction Fee | $195/deal | 0.1% of sale price (capped at $500/deal) |
| Post-Cap Transaction Fee | $195/deal | $250/deal (after $5K in cumulative tx fees) |
| Annual Fee | $500 | Included in monthly |
| Revenue Share | HybridShare (Brokerage Partner plan) | Yes (details limited) |
| Stock / Equity | LPTA (Nasdaq reserved) | None publicly disclosed |
| AI Tools | Dezzy.ai · RecruitAssist · Media Stack | Epique AI 2.0 (content templates + property descriptions) |
| Agent Count | 21,000+ (growing) | ~4,000 (growing — 342% spike in 2024–2025) |
| Perks | AI tools included in model | 70+ perks (car washes, headshots, roadside assistance, sign installs) |
Same agent, same production. Two very different outcomes.
$1,196 more per month · $71,740 more over 5 years
Because that's the cost difference. Epique markets 70+ agent perks — car washes, AI headshots, roadside assistance, sign installs. It's a genuinely creative approach. But at LPT, you keep that $14,348 and buy your own car washes. Or your own headshots. Or a vacation. Or a down payment. Perks are nice. Keeping $14,348 more per year is better.
Both Epique and TPL Collective lead with AI. But they mean very different things by it.

| What It Does | Identifies recruiting prospects, qualifies leads, automates follow-up, creates content | Generates bios, email campaigns, property descriptions, legal summaries |

Same production. Same deals. LPT costs $7,840/year. Epique costs $22,188. Over 5 years, that's $71,740. No perk package is worth $71,740.
Epique's cap is 3x higher. Even with their "declining cap" (which takes 6 years to reach $10K), you're still paying double LPT's cap in year six. At LPT, you cap at $5,000 from day one.
Epique charges $149/month whether you close deals or not. That's $1,788/year before you earn a single commission check. LPT charges nothing monthly. Your slow months don't cost you anything.
Dezzy.ai and RecruitAssist find prospects, qualify them, and automate follow-up. Epique's AI generates property descriptions. One builds your business. The other writes copy you could get from ChatGPT.
LPT has 21,000+ agents. Epique has ~4,000. LPT is backed by Deloitte Fast 500 #2 and the Inman Innovator Award. Epique won HousingWire Tech100 — a solid credential, but at 1/5th the agent count.
No comparison page is complete without honesty. Here's where Epique still has an edge.
That's what the average agent doing 12 deals at $450K pays in extra fees at Epique vs. LPT — every year. Perks included in that price. Your number might be different. There's one way to find out.
