One Team, The Full Arc of Your Move

A sale is rarely just a sale. It is a page turning from one part of life to the next, and the home is where that next chapter gets lived.

The Next Chapter RE is a commercial and residential real estate team at Empower Real Estate, serving Burbank and the greater San Fernando Valley. A household needing more room. A business signing its first lease. A relocation, a downsize, an investment. The team was built to guide the whole arc of a move rather than only the transaction at the end of it.

Why The Next Chapter

Range Under One Roof

A home, an investment, and a business address usually mean three different conversations. The Next Chapter RE pairs a commercial advisor with a residential associate so they can be one.

Commercial and residential range

The team pairs an Executive Commercial Advisor with a Realtor Associate, so a home, an investment, or a business address is handled under one roof.

An international credential

Tom holds CIPS, a National Association of REALTORS designation for cross border competence.

The Empower platform

Boutique attention, backed by Empower's marketing, technology, and CRMLS verified analysis.

Written with care

The standard the team sets for itself is to guide a move from the first conversation to the closing table, not to process a file.
