The Core Difference

Percentage vs. Flat Fee

On every single deal, REAL takes 15% of your commission. LPT charges a flat $500. Here's what that looks like at different price points.

Sale Price Commission (2.5%) REAL Takes (15%) LPT Charges
$300K $7,500 $1,125 $500
$450K $11,250 $1,688 $500
$600K $15,000 $2,250 $500
$1M $25,000 $3,750 $500

The bigger your deals, the more the percentage model costs. LPT's flat fee doesn't care if you sold a $200K condo or a $2M estate.
