LPT Realty Launches National Media Campaign Celebrating Inaugural 2026 Dezzy Award Winners

The modern real estate brokerage centered on agent choice and empowerment placed advertisements in both The Wall Street Journal and USA Today to spotlight its first-ever cohort of Dezzy Award winners: the LPT agents excelling in their respective markets

LAKE MARY, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--LPT Realty, the fastest-growing single-entity real estate brokerage in U.S. history, announced that winners of its inaugural 2026 Dezzy Awards are appearing in print today in The Wall Street Journal and USA Today, marking the culmination of the company's innovative internal recognition program. National and city-level winners are featured in The Wall Street Journal; national, city, and zip code winners are featured in USA Today across the newspaper’s regional editions.

“The industry has traditionally stacked recognition toward massive markets, shutting out top performers everywhere else. Our Dezzy Awards recognize the exceptional accomplishments of LPT agents in their real market context," said LPT Realty's Matthew Levy.

Launched earlier this year, the Dezzy Awards are the first internal brokerage recognition program to honor top producers at the national, state, city, and zip code level simultaneously, resulting in nearly 5,000 winners based on 2025 production data. Powered by dezzy.ai, LPT Realty's proprietary AI technology, the program recognizes real estate professionals in the geographies they actually serve, not just in high-volume metros.

“The industry has traditionally stacked recognition toward massive markets, shutting out top performers everywhere else. Our Dezzy Awards recognize the exceptional accomplishments of LPT agents in their real market context, because a producer dominating a 500-person zip code and a producer leading Los Angeles have both achieved their individual definition of success," said Matthew Levy, Chief Strategy Officer of LPT Realty.

Where traditional rankings rely on MLS or market-wide data, the Dezzys rank LPT agents against LPT agents, keeping comparisons consistent and fair. Winners were announced earlier this year on a special episode of Motivational Monday, LPT's weekly live show broadcast to its ecosystem of more than 20,000 agents. Honorees were recognized across geographic and specialty categories ranging from digital marketing to homebuyer education and knowledge growth, and each received a custom Dezzy Award graphic for their marketing.

LPT Realty is a subsidiary of LPT Aperture Holdings, which ranked No. 2 overall on the 2025 Deloitte Technology Fast 500™, the highest placement ever achieved by a real estate company. Under the leadership of founder and CEO Robert Palmer, LPT Realty has grown from its 2022 launch to become the 7th largest brokerage in the U.S. by units, per industry rankings by RealTrends Verified, RISMedia's Power Broker Report, and T360's Mega 1000.
