If you've been enjoying the South Sound Report the openings, the events, the "here's what's new near you"

You might have wondered who actually makes it. So here's the answer: we're the Aaron Thomas Home Team, a group of local REALTORS® serving the South Puget Sound.

We want to be clear about something: we're not reporters or journalists. We're a real estate team. But we live here, we love it here, and we wanted to build something that gives back to the community that's given us so much.

That's what the South Sound Report is. It's our love letter to the South Sound, the new restaurants, the local festivals, the neighborhood stories that make this area feel like home. And it's completely ad-free, on purpose. No sponsors, no paid placements, no "partner content" dressed up as news. Just the local happenings we think are genuinely worth knowing about, funded entirely by our real estate business so it can stay free for you.

A little about us:

  • Founder & Team Leader Aaron Thomas has built the team over 24+ years in South Sound real estate

  • Together the team has sold 2,000+ homes

  • $111M+ in 2025 sales volume

  • A full roster of REALTORS® and client-care staff dedicated to serving buyers and sellers across Pierce and Thurston counties

Our whole approach to real estate is the same as our approach to the Report: zero pressure, five-star service, and treating people like neighbors instead of transactions. Whether you're buying your first home, selling a longtime one, or relocating to the area with the military, our goal is to make it feel easy and to have your back the entire way.

So thank you for reading the South Sound Report. We genuinely do it for you. And if you ever want to talk real estate, or just want a local's recommendation — we're always here.
