Downsizing in Henry
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 Henry: what you get
Downsizing in Henry can feel heavy after many years in one place. You don't have to figure out what to do with everything alone, and you don't have to decide today.
When a home needs clearing out, repairs or preparation, I have vendors I trust and I'll coordinate them with you.
Why Henry sellers work with me
I'm Shannan Werckle, a Broker-REALTOR® with eXp Realty and the name behind Greater Peoria Living. Between Henry and Lacon, I've sold at least half a dozen homes.
I hold the SRES (Seniors Real Estate Specialist) designation, and right-sizing moves are at the center of my business.
Most Henry homes are 100 to 150 years old, with some from the 1950s through the 1970s and very little newer construction.
