Agent Economics
Most agents researching LPT Realty are really asking one question: what do I actually keep? Here is how the commission structure is built, what to compare it against, and the exact questions to ask before you sign anything.
LPT Realty is built around agent choice rather than one universal split. Agents select between a capped percentage-split plan — a traditional split that turns to 100% once you hit your annual cap — and a flat-fee-per-transaction plan, where you keep your commission and pay a fixed amount per closing instead of a split.
Both plans sit on the same platform, the same technology and the same support. The difference is purely how the brokerage gets paid, which means your production volume — not the brokerage — decides which plan is better for you.
Headline splits lie. Take your last twelve months of closings and calculate four things for each brokerage: gross commission income, total splits paid, total fixed and per-transaction fees, and out-of-pocket cost for the tools you currently buy yourself (CRM, website, marketing, transaction management, signage, ads).
Agents who move to LPT usually find the swing comes from two places: the plan choice, and the tools that stop being an expense because they are already included in the platform.
Commission is one line of income. LPT also pays revenue share on the production of agents you sponsor, plus equity opportunities. That income is not a substitute for production — but it is the part that keeps paying after the closing table.
Ask any brokerage — including this one — for the current fee schedule in writing, the cap amount and reset date, per-transaction and E&O costs, what happens to your pending deals if you leave, and whether the tools you rely on are included or add-ons. Fees change over time; the Independent Contractor Agreement is the document that governs, not a recruiting page.

The percentage-split plan is capped, meaning once you have paid your cap for the year the split moves to 100% for the rest of your anniversary year. The flat-fee plan has no split at all — you pay a per-transaction amount instead. Ask for the current cap and fee schedule in writing before you sign.
Agents typically choose a plan at onboarding and can change at their anniversary. If your production is climbing fast, this is worth mapping out before you pick, because the right plan depends on how many sides you expect.
There is a modest recurring technology/brokerage fee plus per-transaction fees, which is standard for cloud brokerages. Request the current schedule so you can model your real net, not a headline split.
Newer agents doing fewer sides usually model better on the percentage-split plan, while high-volume agents typically favor the flat-fee-per-transaction plan. Run your last twelve months through both before you decide.
