The Thomas Group NW Real Estate is an independently owned boutique brokerage proudly serving Ocean Shores, Maple Valley, Olympia, and surrounding Washington communities.
Our company’s roots are built on decades of experience in real estate, construction, and a deep connection to the communities we serve. Founded in 2000, The Thomas Group NW Real Estate began as a virtual brokerage (before it was a thing!) and has grown through a commitment to personalized service, local expertise, and strong client relationships. Lori Patch became a licensed broker in 2004 and earned her Designated Broker license in 2009.
With more than 20 years of experience in the real estate and construction industry, our mission is to provide exceptional, knowledgeable, and skillful representation to every client. We believe real estate is about more than transactions—it’s about building relationships, earning trust, and helping our clients achieve their goals.
Whether you’re buying, selling, relocating, or exploring your next opportunity, we are committed to delivering five-star service from start to finish. Our greatest compliment is a client who feels so well cared for that they confidently recommend us to their friends and family.
