Every number before you decide, a home ready before anyone sees it, and a launch that finds your buyer.

Selling a home in East Peoria: what you get

Selling a home in East Peoria starts with your numbers: where your home stands against what really sold nearby, and what you'll walk away with after the costs of selling.

Every listing gets professional photos, a floor plan, and video and drone where the property allows, then paid video ads and direct outreach to agents with likely buyers.

Why East Peoria sellers work with me

I'm Shannan Werckle, a Broker-REALTOR® with eXp Realty and the name behind Greater Peoria Living. I've sold multiple homes in East Peoria, and on the bluffs I know how much a view can add.

Offers are compared on terms, financing and timing, not only price, because a clean offer that closes beats a big one that falls apart.

East Peoria sits directly across the Illinois River from downtown Peoria, and I-74 runs through town toward Bloomington-Normal and the Quad Cities.

The homes
A bluff town, with hills, little flat land and pretty vistas. Many homes were built on the bluffs from the 1960s through the 2000s. As across the area, new construction mostly stopped around 2008 to 2010, apart from some newer apartment development.
Schools people ask about

Getting around
Directly across the Illinois River from downtown Peoria, over the Murray Baker and Centennial bridges. I-74 runs through town, east toward Bloomington-Normal and west toward the Quad Cities. Peoria's sister city.
Nearby
The Levee District, once lined with Caterpillar plants, now has restaurants, live music, a movie theater, hotels, and concerts and events at Festival Park in warmer months, plus the Fondulac District Library. Costco, Target and plenty of other shopping are in town. Fondulac Drive has several lookout points back across the river at Peoria, and at night the skyline, St. Mary's Cathedral, the hospitals and the lit-up bridge make it one of the prettiest views in the area.
