We’re proud to share that Rudy Lira Kusuma, Founder of Partner Real Estate, has been inducted into RISMedia’s 2026 Real Estate Newsmakers in the Influencers category—an honor recognizing leaders who shape the future of real estate through ideas, education, and action.
Riding the Waves of Change
RISMedia’s 2026 theme, “Riding the Waves of Change,” reflects the reality of 2025—a year marked by rapid market shifts that demanded resilience, innovation, and decisive leadership. This annual showcase highlights more than 300 professionals—brokers, agents, executives, technologists, and educators—nominated by readers for their contributions to clients, colleagues, and the broader mission of expanding homeownership.
Influencers are recognized not just for performance, but for thought leadership—those willing to take a stand, introduce new perspectives, and provide practical guidance to help the industry navigate change.
Why This Recognition Matters
Rudy’s induction underscores a consistent philosophy:
- Advance professional standards through education and systems
- Lead with purpose, mentoring agents and advocating for positive change
- Create real impact beyond sales—through media, speaking, and scalable strategies
As RISMedia notes, 2026 Newsmakers exemplify taking control of one’s story rather than letting market conditions dictate the future.
Building for What’s Next
While the recognition honors past accomplishments, the focus remains firmly on the future. Meeting Robert Palmer and aligning with LPT Realty marked a pivotal step forward—one designed to deliver even greater value to agents and clients through modern tools, ownership-minded opportunities, and a platform built for where the market is going.
As Rudy often shares:
“Making money isn’t about being selfish—it’s about serving others. Money is simply the result of creating real value in people’s lives.”
Gratitude and Momentum
We’re grateful to RISMedia and its readers for this recognition, and we congratulate the entire 2026 Hall of Fame and Newsmaker class. The work continues—with clarity, conviction, and a commitment to help real estate professionals not only survive change, but thrive in it.
The future belongs to leaders who share the table, build partnerships, and empower others to win.
