A new framework that takes a step forward as we add Aperture to the lpt family of companies. The combination of lpt realty’s national expansion and the addition of Aperture will create the GREATEST OPPORTUNITY TO BUILD LEGACY IN OUR LIFETIME and it happens in 2025. A first of its kind model for agents at traditional luxury brokerages to benefit from the cloud brokerage boom and the first ever “cross brand” revenue sharing and stock compensation model
