Our Journey

Realty ONE Group Empower made its mark in Buffalo thanks to the combined vision of Scott Perkins and Tom Anderson. Scott brought the energy and leadership to launch a fresh, agent-first brokerage, while Tom, originally from Maine, added his background in small business development, coaching, and real estate agent training to the mix.

Together, they saw an opportunity to shake things up in Western New York by introducing Realty ONE Group’s 100% commission model, sleek branding, and supportive culture. The result? A place where agents feel empowered, clients are wowed, and big ideas thrive.
