Peter Greathouse
Biography
Born and raised in St. Louis, MO, Peter headed out west for 15 years to work in the entertainment industry as an actor, stunt performer and voiceover artist. His time as a Gunner's Mate in the United States Coast Guard Reserves helped him transition into a career as an Operations Manager for a stunt company before successes with his own real estate choices out west led him to decide it was time to bring his varied skillset home to St. Louis and lean into the destiny of his amusingly appropriate last name.
One major reason Peter chose real estate as a profession was the opportunity to use his unique skillset to help people through what can be a difficult process in making what is often the biggest financial decision of their lives. The trust placed in him to guide clients through this process and help them to become prepared, knowledgable buyers in a competitive market is humbling, and the responsibility is not taken lightly. He takes great pride in hearing from past clients that this care and understanding of their situations and challenges throughout the process was a major part of why they continue to recommend him to serve their friends and family.
In addition to serving his clients' real estate needs, Peter also now serves as the Managing Broker for BHHS Select Properties St. Louis City Office! If you are considering a career in real estate, please reach out!

Testimonials
“Pete was truly amazing. I quite literally could not have done it without him. He formulated a plan for renovations that would have the largest impact and ensured I stayed calm throughout it. Our house sold for significantly above asking and I’m certain that is because of Pete!”
“Peter was an incredible help to my family as he was able to connect me with local resources that assisted us in figuring out a solution to our home owners insurance policy. Thanks to his 'always willing to help' character and his expansive network in the real estate industry, we were able to resolve a challenge that had been years in the making. Peter is the BEST!”
“Peter is a highly knowledgeable and experienced agent. We are new to the St. Louis area and Peter helped us tremendously with understanding the market for primary home opportunities and potential short term and long term rental investment opportunities. We ended up buying a home for ourselves and Peter was there every step of the way. He’s a savvy negotiator and ensured the closing went as smoothly as possible. We learned a lot and look forward to working with Peter and his team again in getting that next property added to our portfolio!”
“Working with Peter was fantastic. He was keyed in on what we were looking for and proactive in bringing us properties that fit our criteria. In general, Peter was deeply knowledgeable about neighborhoods, pricing strategies, home values, and market conditions. And he showed a lot of patience and leadership with us through our home searching journey.”
“Peter was great to work with on the purchase of my new home. I was a buyer in the late summer/early fall of 2021 which was definatly a sellars market. After spending a short time with me, Peter reailzed what I wanted and started showing me places based on what I was looking for. I found the perfect home and closed on it in September of 2021. I decided to do some renovations to make the place my own and now have been living in the new home since May of 2022. Looking back at all the other places I saw and even those I made bids on, I firmly believe I ended up with the best place for me. One paticular aspect of Peter that I was partculary impressed with was his communication. Peter was great about ansering all my questions and keeping me updated on where we stood at each stage of purchasing my new home. Even on the rare occasion where he had to check on some information first, he always got back to me when he said he would and most of the time sooner than that. Buying a new home is always a bit stressful and the simple acts of keeping me updated and responding promptly to emails and or phone calls was greatly appreciated.”
“I want to share our experience with and give our whole-hearted recommendation of Peter Greathouse as a realtor. My husband and I knew it was time to search for a new house, but we were completely over-whelmed with the process. We had lived in our house for almost 10 years, we had a toddler, a dog and both had full time jobs. We knew of Peter through a mutual friend and gave him a call. That was the best decision we could have made.He helped us find our dream home, our forever home, the home in which we will raise our children. Peter was there every step of the way, walking us through the process. He was excellent at reading our energy about various aspects in a home and used that to find us the perfect house. He almost had a 6th sense to know when we started to feel anxious and would call to check in and assure us of the process.Peter Greathouse also helped us sell our home. Even through the normal bumps and struggles, Peter was positive, reassuring, and smart. Thank you, Peter, for your patience, knowledge, positive outlook, and problem-solving skills. We really enjoyed getting to know you better and are thrilled we gained, not just an excellent real estate agent, but a lifelong friend. To just recommend him, is a severe understatement. Call Peter Greathouse for someone who will go above and beyond to change your life!Sincerely,Mary Florence and Drew Goding ”
“Peter was fantastic to work with. He really understood what I was looking for, and made it his mission to help me find it in a very difficult market. He made the whole process extremely easy, and helped relieve a lot of the pressure and anxiety of purchasing a new home. Peter really took care of everything. I've never had a closing experience go so smoothly. I was very impressed.”
“I was working with a realtor at the end of 2020 who decided not to renew her license for 2021. Before finding Peter I had worked with several other realtors who just did not get me or what I was looking for. It was very frustrating. Peter and I seemed to click. He made it his mission to understand what I wanted and to figure out a way to make it happen in an extremely difficult market. He was motivated, patient, encouraging, and didn't let me give up on my dream of finding a place in the city. I appreciate all of his efforts. I probably would have found a way to get here, but it wouldn't have been near as much fun, and probably wouldn't have ended so much in my favor had I worked with a different realtor. I highly recommend him to anyone trying to find their right fit. You won't regret your decision. I certainly do not. Peter made the process extremely easy. I've never had a closing go so smoothly or quickly. It made an extremely stressful day go off without a hitch. I honestly was surprised at how little I had to worry about. He took care of everything. Peter has a way about him that puts people at ease. He did everything in his power to be accommodating, available, and helpful. My house hunting experience went on much longer than I thought it would. Peter helped me to finally get to the finish line.”
