The Numbers Don’t Lie: Why LPT Realty Is the Fastest-Growing Brokerage in America -

Let’s look at what the data actually shows

Here is where LPT Realty stands in the 2025 Power Broker Report, alongside brokerages that have dominated this industry for decades. We are the fastest-growing brokerage in the United States.

#	Company	Years open	2025 sides	2-yr sides chg	2025 agents	2-yr agent chg
1	eXp Realty	17	343,091	-3.4%	63,140	-14.7%
2	Anywhere	29	245,250	-2.7%	48,735	-14.0%

10	Fathom Realty	17	42,200	+10.7%	14,210	+20.5%

Let that sink in. lpt Realty grew transaction sides by 361.9% over two years. The nearest competitor on that metric, Real Brokerage, grew 168%. Every other company in the top 10 either grew in the single digits or — in the case of the top four brands — actually shrank. The biggest names in the industry are losing ground while lpt is on a trajectory that no one in this business has seen before.

“Four years old. Seventh largest in the country. Growing at a rate that makes 22-year veterans do a double take.”

Why growth at this level matters to you personally

Here is what I have learned after more than two decades in this business: momentum is a real thing. When a brokerage is growing this fast, the best talent starts to migrate toward it. The training gets better. The tools improve. The brand recognition builds in real time. The culture attracts producers who are serious about their careers — not people looking for a place to hang a license.

Compare that to what the data shows happening at the legacy brands. eXp Realty, the largest virtual brokerage in the world, saw a 14.7% drop in agents over two years. Anywhere — the parent company of Coldwell Banker, Century 21, and Sotheby’s International Realty — is down 14.0%. HomeServices of America, which includes brands like Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices, lost 15.3% of its agent count. These are not small fluctuations. These are structural shifts.

Agents are voting with their feet, and a meaningful number of them are walking toward lpt Realty.

What lpt Realty’s Brokerage model actually is

lpt Realty operates as a technology-forward, agent-centric brokerage with a flat-fee commission model that allows producing agents to keep significantly more of what they earn. Unlike the traditional split structures that dominated the industry for decades, lpt was built from day one around the economic reality that top producers do not need the same hand-holding as new agents — and they should not be paying for it indefinitely.

The revenue-sharing component allows agents who choose to participate in growth to build meaningful passive income streams. Combined with a full-service support model, this creates an environment where agents can run a serious business instead of simply running transactions for a brand that captures most of the upside.

Four years of data now confirm that this model works — not just in theory, but at scale, in a market that has been objectively difficult for real estate professionals across the board.

The question I keep hearing

Agents ask me all the time: “Rick, is it too late to make a move like this?” My answer is always the same. Look at where lpt Realty was in year one versus year four. Then look at where year seven or year ten might land if even a fraction of this trajectory continues. We are not watching a mature company in slow decline. We are watching a growth story that is still in its early chapters.

The agents who moved to eXp in 2012 or 2013 did not regret it. The ones who waited until 2022 had a different experience. Timing matters in real estate investing, and it matters just as much in choosing where you build your business.

“The biggest risk in a market like this is not making the wrong move. It is waiting too long to make any move at all.”

What I would tell any serious producing agent right now

If you are doing real volume and your current brokerage is shrinking — or even just standing still — you owe it to yourself to understand exactly what lpt Realty is offering and what the numbers behind it actually mean. Not the pitch. Not the hype. The data from RIS Media’s Power Broker Report, which is about as credible a third-party source as this industry has.

I am not asking you to make a decision today. I am asking you to be honest with yourself about what momentum looks like, what the trends in this data are pointing toward, and whether your current situation is positioned to benefit from where this industry is heading.

If you want to have that conversation — the real one, without a sales pitch — reach out. I have been in this business long enough to tell you the truth, and the truth right now is that lpt Realty’s 2025 numbers are worth your full attention.
