Why Morton 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 Morton, and I know how resale homes there compete with newer ones nearby.
Offers are compared on terms, financing and timing, not only price, because a clean offer that closes beats a big one that falls apart.
Morton sits about ten miles east of Peoria along Route 150, and I-74 splits the town nearly in half.
