So, you're on the hunt for the perfect real estate brokerage—one that gives you solid commission plans, revenue-sharing potential, and the tech you need to thrive. Two names that probably keep popping up are LPT Realty and eXp Realty. Both have a lot to offer, but which one fits YOU best?

Let’s break it down in a casual, no-fluff way so you can decide what works for your career goals.

💰 Commission Splits, Caps, and Fees: Keep More of What You Earn

At LPT Realty, you get two flexible, agent-focused plans:

✅ Business Builder Plan – $500 per transaction, $5K annual cap, then 100 percent commission.
✅ Rev Share Partner Plan – 80/20 split, $15K annual cap, then 100 percent commission.

On both plans there are no monthly desk fees or office fees, and agents pay a once-per-year tech and E&O fee, plus a flat per-file fee, instead of a recurring monthly bill. 

Now compare that to eXp Realty, which operates with an 80/20 split and a $16K cap. After you cap, you keep 100 percent of your commission, but you still pay per-transaction fees plus an ongoing monthly cloud brokerage fee. 

Takeaway?

• If you want a lower cap option, no monthly brokerage fees, and very predictable costs, LPT Realty has the edge.

• If you like a single nationwide plan with a slightly higher cap and do not mind monthly cloud fees, eXp can still be a fit.

📈 Revenue Sharing: Build Wealth While You Grow

Both LPT and eXp give you a way to build leveraged, residual income by attracting other agents to the company.

🔹 LPT Realty

• LPT uses a revenue share model tied directly to each closing in your organization.

• A portion of the company dollar from every qualifying transaction is placed into a Rev Share pool and paid out through multiple levels in your upline, as long as basic production/eligibility requirements are met. 

🔹 eXp Realty

• eXp also uses a multi-level revenue share model, where a portion of the company’s 20 percent is shared with sponsoring agents.

• Payouts are based on the production of agents in your downline, subject to company qualifications and performance. 

Bottom line:

• Both reward you for attraction and leadership.

• LPT’s structure is designed to be simple and transaction-driven, with rev share funded directly from each deal inside the LPT model.

• If you want a newer model with aggressive rev share and flexible comp plans, LPT is a very compelling choice.

📊 Stock and Equity: Own a Piece of the Platform

One of the biggest updates for LPT:
👉 LPT now offers stock awards and equity opportunities for agents on both compensation plans. 

📌 LPT Realty

• Agents can earn pre-IPO stock awards for production milestones and for helping grow the company.

• Equity is granted as a reward for doing what you already do – closing deals and attracting agents – rather than through a monthly stock purchase plan.

📌 eXp Realty

• eXp is publicly traded and offers stock awards for production and icon status, plus an optional, discounted stock purchase program that lets you buy shares from each commission check. 

If stock ownership and long-term equity matter to you:

• LPT gives you equity grants for performance with no required payroll deductions, and the upside of pre-IPO style equity.

• eXp offers publicly traded stock and a formal purchase plan, which can be attractive if you want to actively buy and sell shares on the open market.

For many agents who want to build wealth while keeping cash flow strong, LPT’s “earn the stock as you produce” approach is a big plus.

💻 Cloud-Based Technology & Tools: Work From Anywhere

Both brokerages are cloud-based and built for agents who want to run a modern, mobile business.

💻 LPT Realty

• LPT is a cloud-based brokerage with proprietary platforms like LPT Connect and Listing Power Tools, plus a robust tech and marketing package included for every agent. 

• Within our group, agents have access to powerful CRM options such as Lofty, kvCORE, or Follow Up Boss, plus listing and marketing support to actually fill your pipeline.

• Tech is designed to be simple, scalable, and focused on helping you close more deals, not just learn another platform.

📲 eXp Realty

• eXp is also fully cloud-based, with tools like eXp Enterprise, eXp World, Skyslope, kvCORE, and eXp University in a centralized virtual ecosystem.

• Key difference:

• If you want a cloud-based model plus hands-on marketing tools and flexible CRM choices, LPT Realty stands out.

• If you prefer a single, standardized virtual platform that is the same for everyone nationwide, eXp may feel familiar and structured.

🎓 Training, Culture, and Support: Who’s Really in Your Corner?

📖 LPT Realty

• Strong emphasis on local leadership, mentorship, and collaboration, backed by a national cloud-based platform. 

• In-person masterminds, events, and community combined with online training and resources.

• Our group at LPT layers in one-on-one support, CRM help, and marketing implementation, so you are not just given tools – you are shown how to use them.

📚 eXp Realty

• eXp University offers a huge catalog of live and recorded classes in a virtual environment.

• Lots of access to top producers across the country through eXp World and workplace groups. 

If you thrive with face-to-face mentorship plus cloud tools, LPT really shines. If you are comfortable with a primarily virtual training ecosystem and like to self-navigate, eXp can work well.

🤝 Team Building and Brand Freedom

🏆 LPT Realty

• Gives team leaders room to grow their own brands and structures under the LPT umbrella.

• Designed for agents who want to build teams, attract agents, and create multiple income streams without being boxed into one rigid model. 

🚀 eXp Realty

• Offers several defined team structures (self-organized teams, standard teams, mega/icon teams) with specific rules and minimum splits. 

If you want maximum flexibility in building your own brand, growing your organization, and choosing how you get paid, LPT Realty is tough to beat.

🔥 Final Thoughts: Which Brokerage Should You Choose?
