LAKE MARY, Fla. — In just three years, LPT Realty has achieved what few companies in any industry can claim: national and international dominance.
The cloud-based real estate brokerage, founded by entrepreneur Robert Palmer, has officially expanded operations into all 50 U.S. states, Washington, D.C., and three Canadian provinces — British Columbia, Ontario, and Saskatchewan — making it the first privately-held brokerage to reach full U.S. coverage.

More than doubling both transaction sides and volume year over year represents one of the largest year-over-year gains we’ve seen — a clear signal of serious momentum and market share gains.”
The Real Estate Almanac, published by industry advisor T3 Sixty, also placed LPT Realty at #10 nationally in total transactions (36,369), reflecting an astonishing 175.2% increase in transaction sides over the past year and total sales volume of $13.86 billion.
The company’s innovation-focused approach also earned it the title of “Most Innovative Brokerage” from Inman in 2024 — an accolade that reinforces its role as a trailblazer in the industry.
