On December 11, 2025, nationally recognized real estate leader Rudy Lira Kusuma made a bold announcement at the Partner Real Estate 2025 Gala — one that signals a major shift in how real estate agents can build their careers heading into 2026.
Rudy officially announced that Partner Real Estate is aligning its team with the LPT Realty platform.
This wasn’t a rebrand.
This wasn’t a merger for growth’s sake.
This was a strategic move built entirely around agent choice, agent leverage, and agent success.
One Vision. Two Clear Paths for Agents.
With this alignment, Rudy now offers real estate agents two distinct ways to partner with him, depending on how they want to grow their business:
1. Team Partner – Partner Real Estate
2. Platform Partner – LPT Realty (Direct)
Both paths are powerful.
Both are agent-first.
And most importantly — Partner Real Estate includes ALL the benefits of the LPT platform, because LPT is the brokerage and Partner Real Estate is the team built on top of it.
Team Partner: Partner Real Estate (Team + Brokerage + Platform)
When agents join Partner Real Estate, they are not choosing between systems.
They get everything:
- The Partner Real Estate team
- The LPT Realty brokerage
- The full LPT platform
- Plus exclusive systems, support, leads, and infrastructure that only exist inside Partner Real Estate
This is the option for agents who want maximum leverage.

Platform Partner: LPT Realty (Direct Sponsorship by Rudy)
For agents who want maximum independence and prefer to build solo or with their own team, Rudy also offers a second path.
As a Platform Partner, agents join LPT Realty directly, sponsored by Rudy.
This option is ideal for agents who:
- Want a lean, cloud-based brokerage
- Prefer to run their own systems
- Want flexibility without team obligations
- Still want access to LPT’s powerful platform
What Platform Partners Get
- LPT Realty brokerage access
- Flexible compensation options
- National brand and infrastructure
- Listing Power Tools & marketing platform
- Revenue share and wealth-building opportunities
- Technology stack and training resources
- Freedom to build independently
This is the pure platform play — no team layer, no added structure, just the brokerage and tools.

The Key Difference (And What Agents Must Understand)
Here’s the most important distinction:
Partner Real Estate = Team + LPT Platform + Brokerage LPT Realty Direct = Platform + Brokerage only
If you join Partner Real Estate, you automatically get everything LPT offers — and more.
If you join LPT direct, you get the platform — without the Partner Real Estate team systems, staff, and support.
Neither path is “better.”
They are simply different paths for different types of agents.
Why This Move Matters for 2026
The real estate industry is shifting away from:
- Lone-wolf agents
- Generic brokerages
- DIY systems with no support
And toward:
- Platforms
- Proven teams
- Scalable systems
- Agent choice
Rudy Lira Kusuma’s alignment with LPT Realty creates something rare in real estate:
Freedom with structure.
Choice without confusion.
And systems that are already proven at scale.
For agents planning their next move in 2026, this isn’t just another brokerage option.
It’s a strategic decision about how much leverage you want behind you.
And now, the choice is yours.
