A Major Announcement: Partner Real Estate Launches 2026 on the LPT Platform
While the evening celebrated past success, the most impactful moment came with a major announcement for 2026.
Partner Real Estate officially unveiled LPT as its new platform, marking a strategic move to further empower agents with better economics, better tools, and long-term growth opportunities.
“This is not about changing who we are,” Kusuma said.
“It’s about upgrading the platform underneath our agents so they can keep more, scale faster, and build real businesses in today’s market.”
Why This Platform Matters for Real Estate Agents in Today’s Market
As the real estate industry evolves, agents are demanding more than a brokerage name. They want:
- Lower overhead
- Stronger listing tools
- Better technology
- Multiple income streams
- A clear path to growth
The Partner Real Estate + LPT platform was designed to deliver exactly that.
What Partner Real Estate Agents Gain:
- Multiple compensation options so agents can choose what fits their business
- Higher net income per transaction
- No monthly fees, desk fees, or sign-up fees
- Done-for-you listing marketing systems to win more listings
- Modern technology and CRM tools to streamline operations
- Revenue share opportunities beyond individual production
- Equity opportunities aligned with long-term company growth
- A national platform for referrals, collaboration, and expansion
- Proven Partner Real Estate staff support, coaching, and systems
“This platform removes friction,” Kusuma added.
“It allows agents to focus on what actually grows their business — serving clients and building leverage.”
Keynote Speaker Highlights the Future of Real Estate Platforms
The gala’s keynote speaker was Michael Valdes, CEO of LPT International, whose global experience reinforced the vision behind the platform.
Valdes previously served as Chief Growth Officer at eXp Realty (Nasdaq: EXPI), where he helped open 23 countries in 22 months. Before that, he spent 15 years at Realogy Corporation, overseeing international servicing for brands including Century 21, Coldwell Banker, ERA, Better Homes & Gardens, Corcoran, Climb, and Sotheby’s International Realty across 113 countries.
Earlier in his career, Valdes was Director of Private Banking at Deutsche Bank, managing a portfolio nearing $1 billion. He currently serves as Chair of the AREAA Global Advisory Board and is a member of the NAHREP Corporate Board of Governors.
“The brokerages that will win the next decade are those that combine simplicity, scale, and ownership opportunities for agents,” Valdes said.
“Hybrid platforms that remove barriers and create leverage will define the future of real estate.”
A Platform Built for Growth, Not Just Survival
Industrywide, agents are re-evaluating where they align their businesses. Rising expenses and outdated models are pushing professionals toward platforms that prioritize agent profitability and sustainability.
Partner Real Estate’s approach reflects this shift — pairing a tested team system with a future-focused platform.
“This isn’t an experiment,” Kusuma said.
“It’s proven performance combined with a next-generation platform.”
