Thomas Graves began his commercial real estate career in 1992 after receiving his bachelors degree from Western Washington University. In January 2000 he formed Rainier Commercial Real Estate Services with the intention of exceeding the expectations of his clients.

Understanding that helping to facilitate the transaction is only part of his responsibilities, he has focused on providing a level of customer service and support that takes some of the performance burden off his client’s shoulders. He has extensive experience representing notable retailers such as Jared – Galleria of Jewelry, Schuck’s Auto Supply, West Marine and Pearle Vision, with both their market expansion in growth modes and disposition of surplus locations when retracting. He is also the primary contact for Fitness 19’s expansion nationally.

A native of Gig Harbor, he and his wife moved back to his home town to raise their 2 children. In addition to his family, he spends his spare time playing golf, basketball and an occasional fly fishing trip.
