When Peter Dunn (aka Pete the Planner) talks money, Hoosiers listen. He’s the trusted voice for retirement, college savings, and career planning.
But in a recent video segment, Pete put the financial advice aside and got uncomfortably honest about his own life. He admitted that despite being a financial sage, he is a “B-minus homeowner.”
His house is clean. It’s lovely. But it’s also 17 years old. And behind the scenes, the maintenance—the exterior trim, the systems, the “unsexy” stuff—was slipping through the cracks.
Does that sound familiar?
A “Your Money Line” Philosophy
Here is the irony: Pete founded Your Money Line, a financial wellness program and company dedicated to giving employees unbiased, expert answers to their financial questions. A belief that you shouldn’t have to figure out complex, stressful things alone.
So, why was he trying to figure out his home alone?
He decided to practice what he preaches. He hired NeighborServe to be the “Your Money Line” for his house.
The Math (Because Pete Always Does the Math)
On his show, Pete broke down exactly why he pays our annual membership fee.
He noted that, at this stage in his life, “Convenience is exchanging money for time. I have more money than time right now.”
But it wasn’t just about saving time; it was about the “bundled value.” He explained that the exclusive discounts NeighborServe secures from our vendors help offset the cost of the membership. When you crunch the numbers (which he obviously did), the math made sense.
“I Don’t Know Who To Trust”
In the video, Pete hit the nail on the head regarding the biggest pain point for Indy homeowners: The Trust Gap.
He admitted that his least favorite part of homeownership is vetting strangers. He didn’t want to leave work early to meet a random contractor or spend his evenings doom-scrolling for reviews.
With NeighborServe, he treats us like a “quasi-landlord.”
- Something breaks? He sends one text.
- Need a quote? We handle it.
- Who shows up? Only the top 5% of pros we’ve vetted (the ones we’d send to our own mom’s house).
The Verdict
Pete described the experience as “high service” and “humbling” (our inspection reports don’t pull punches). But more importantly, it gave him a plan.
You don’t have to be a financial celebrity to realize that your time is worth more than chasing contractors.
