Downsizing in Central Peoria

Moving to a home that fits your life now, usually smaller and sometimes larger, with the sale and your next home planned together and no pressure on timing.

Downsizing in Central Peoria: what you get

If you're downsizing in Central Peoria, the sale and your next home belong in the same plan, so you're not guessing about either.

I hold the SRES (Seniors Real Estate Specialist) designation, and right-sizing moves are at the center of my business.

Why Central Peoria sellers work with me

I'm Shannan Werckle, a Broker-REALTOR® with eXp Realty and the name behind Greater Peoria Living. Central Peoria is one of the parts of the city where I work most, and I know how much condition varies from one block to the next.

When a home needs clearing out, repairs or preparation, I have vendors I trust and I'll coordinate them with you.

Central Peoria runs roughly from McClure and Forest Hill avenues north to Glen Avenue, and from about University Street east nearly to Prospect Road, with Knoxville Avenue through the middle.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to clear out the house before selling?

Not always. I'll show you the options with the numbers, and I have vendors I trust for clean-outs if you want help.

When were most Central Peoria homes built?

Most were built from the late 1920s through the 1950s. Many are brick, and because most predate 1978, federal lead-based paint disclosures apply.
