Where LPT Wins

The Advantages Are Clear

💰
$0 Desk Fees
RE/MAX desk fees range $500–$3K/month. At LPT, there are no desk fees, no office costs, no monthly overhead.
🚫
No Franchise Fee
RE/MAX charges franchise fees on top of desk fees. LPT isn't a franchise — no royalty payments.
🤖
AI Tools No Other Brokerage Has
Dezzy.ai, RecruitAssist, and Media Stack are built exclusively for TPL Collective agents. RE/MAX offices rely on whatever tech the local franchise provides.
📈
HybridShare Revenue Share
RE/MAX doesn't offer revenue share. LPT's Brokerage Partner plan includes 7-tier HybridShare — build passive income by growing your team.
