Why Fairway Villas buyers work with me
I'm Shannan Werckle, a Broker-REALTOR® with eXp Realty and the name behind Greater Peoria Living. I work with a lot of condo buyers and sellers in North Peoria, and I know how Fairway Villas compares with the communities around it.
Some buyers try to win by waiving inspections or piling on earnest money. Being early, prepared and smart about the offer can often win without giving up your protections.
Fairway Villas sits on the north side of Willow Knolls Road, at the edge of Kellogg Golf Course, and some villas are right on the course.
