Your Local Insurance Agency in Lakeville, MN & Dakota County

Welcome to the Pete Peterson State Farm Agent office! Our office is conveniently located in Lakeville near the intersection of County Road 46 and Cedar Avenue, right by Carbone's Pizza, making it easy for our neighbors in Apple Valley, Farmington, Rosemount, and surrounding communities to stop by. I opened my office in February of 2018 after spending years in the automotive industry. Owning a business had always been a goal of mine, but more importantly, I wanted a career that allowed me to be present for my family while building lasting relationships with the people I serve.

Since 2018, my team and I have proudly helped individuals and families throughout Dakota County, Scott County, and Hennepin County with their insurance needs. We offer Auto Insurance, Home Insurance, Life Insurance, Health Insurance, Renters Insurance, and Condo Insurance across Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Iowa. Whether you're preparing for a new vehicle, a home purchase, or reviewing coverage as your family grows, we're here to help you make informed decisions that fit your needs.

What drives me every day is the opportunity to connect with people and build long-term relationships. My background in the automotive industry taught me the value of listening, understanding different situations, and helping people feel comfortable throughout the process. Our office focuses on being both friendly and professional, and we're proud to have earned more than 300 Google reviews from customers who have chosen to work with us.

Outside the office, my wife Jen and I stay busy with our three daughters and our dog, Remy. Our girls are involved in hockey, tennis, dance, and fast-pitch softball, so much of our free time is spent supporting their activities. When we have the chance, we enjoy boating, camping, and cooking on the Blackstone together. Giving back to our community is also important to me. I am a member of the Lakeville Area Chamber of Commerce, serve as President of the Apple Valley Girls Booster Club, participate in local home shows, and support numerous area activities and organizations, including Apple Valley, Eastview, and local high school athletics and performing arts programs.
