LPT Aperture Holdings has acquired Speculo, the AI-powered database engagement company behind Remi. Speculo helps real estate professionals identify consumer intent within their existing databases. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
Speculo will continue to operate under its own brand on a brokerage-agnostic basis. Founded in 2024 by Riley VanderKaay and Bobby Moats, Speculo has worked with more than 300 real estate organizations and supported millions of consumer conversations. Its platform centers on Remi, an AI teammate that engages clients and identifies changes in intent.
The acquisition expands LPTA’s portfolio of AI-supported consumer engagement platforms beyond dezzy.ai. Speculo joins RESIDE Platform in LPTA’s growing portfolio of brokerage-agnostic platforms. Speculo is a two-time finalist in the 2026 Inman Innovators Awards.
LPT Aperture Holdings is the parent company of LPT Realty, a single-entity brokerage serving more than 20,000 agents across the US and Canada, and Aperture Global Real Estate. In 2025, LPTA ranked No. 2 overall on the Deloitte Technology Fast 500.
KEY QUOTES:
“Real estate has spent years optimizing systems for lead volume, when what agents and operators actually need is a system that identifies intent. Remi works inside the existing database to identify changes in consumer behavior, surface the conversations that matter, and signal when an agent should engage and what value they can bring. Robert shares our belief in an AI-supported future that remains human-first, and with LPTA’s backing, we’re excited to scale that impact across the industry.”
Riley VanderKaay, Co-Founder and CEO, Speculo
“Every real estate business has relationships and opportunities buried inside its existing database. The challenge is knowing who needs attention, why and when. Speculo has built that capability at scale. We are investing to help Riley and Bobby make it available to more agents and operators across the industry, not to make it exclusive to any one brokerage or organizational model.”
Robert Palmer, Founder and CEO, LPT Aperture Holdings
