• LPT’s CEO Robert Palmer emphasized that the goal is not to lock these platforms behind LPT but to support the broader industry.
• He stated that many brokerages acquire tech and create “walled gardens,” but LPT aims to be a good steward of technology that serves all brokerages.
🧠 Leadership Perspectives
Reside Leadership:
• Suneet Agarwal and Jon Cheplak, principals of Reside, said partnering with LPT “accelerates everything we’ve been building,” allowing deeper support for teams across North America.
• Cheplak noted he will stay on as a consultant to help team leaders with leadership and recruiting.
Humaniz Leadership:
• Founder and CEO Chris Giannos praised Palmer and shared a vision of helping teams regardless of brokerage.
• Humaniz recently launched AgentIntelligence, an AI recruiting tool that offers brokerages and teams agent-migration and signal data.
📈 LPT’s Broader Ambitions
• LPT Aperture Holdings includes LPT Realty and its luxury division, Aperture Global Real Estate.
• The company reserved the ticker LPTA with Nasdaq in August 2025 as it pursues a future IPO.
• In the 2025 RealTrends Verified Rankings, LPT ranked No. 10 nationally for transaction sides and No. 14 for sales volume, with 36,369 transaction sides and $13.86 billion in sales in 2024.
CEO Palmer said these acquisitions help show that LPT is “not one dimensional,” demonstrating both its brokerage growth and its ability to invest in and scale tech and services companies.
