TARGA REAL ESTATE SERVICES, INC., a corporation licensed to do business in Washington State and Arizona State, was established in 1987. The owner and sole stockholder is Thomas M. Petramalo, CPM (Certified Property Manager), CCIM (Certified Commercial Investment Member). After receiving both a marketing and finance degree from Pacific Lutheran University, Tom spent two years in New York working in a development company. Moving back to the Seattle area, he spent the next five years working for a large regional property management company in Tacoma.

An opportunity to expand his career came from a national syndicate where Tom spent the next four years leasing up and managing projects acquired at Epic Realty. There he became Vice President in charge of the newly-established fee management division - an operation that grew to be one of the largest in the country. In 1987, an entrepreneurial desire propelled Tom into his own business venture known as TARGA REAL ESTATE SERVICES, INC.
