Moving Up to Your Next Home in Central Peoria

Moving to a larger or higher-end home, with the timing of both sides worked out from your numbers.

Moving up to a new home in Central Peoria: what you get

If you're moving up to a new home in Central Peoria, we'll start by putting both sides next to each other: what you'll walk away with from your sale, and what the next home will really cost to own.

Sell first, buy first, or line them up. The right answer depends on your equity, your financing and your comfort with risk, and I'll help you decide with real numbers.

Why Central Peoria buyers 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.

Your listing gets my full approach, and your purchase gets offers written to compete without giving up your protections, timed to fit your sale.

Because most homes here were built before 1978, federal lead-based paint disclosures apply, and I walk every client through them.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I sell before I buy?

It depends on your equity, financing and comfort with risk. We'll compare both paths with your real numbers before you commit to either.

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.
