Pete Thorpe and The Stateline Group are fantastic. Buying a home is a huge decision and Pete was very patient with me. He had extensive knowledge of the area and was extremely responsive to my calls, texts, and emails. Pete even sent me video tours of properties when I was not available to view them myself. Pete and The Stateline Group made the whole process stress-free. I would highly recommend them for all of your real estate needs.

Pete Thorpe was wonderful! His approach professionally in listing our property and advisement during contract negotiations proved to be paramount in closing our deal.

Do not hesitate to contact him!

We recently purchased our second home with Pete Thorpe and working with him was such a relief! He made sure that we were protected every step of the purchase. In selling our home, Pete blew our previous agent out of the water. His knowledge of the industry, negotiation with other agents, communication and experience have been invaluable. We couldn’t have managed with anyone else and are so grateful.
