Selling a Home in Washington
Every number before you decide, a home ready before anyone sees it, and a launch that finds your buyer.
Selling a home in Washington: what you get
Selling a home in Washington goes best when the home is priced right and ready before anyone sees it, then launched with a plan behind it.
Offers are compared on terms, financing and timing, not only price, because a clean offer that closes beats a big one that falls apart.
Why Washington sellers work with me
I'm Shannan Werckle, a Broker-REALTOR® with eXp Realty and the name behind Greater Peoria Living. Washington is one of the towns I work in regularly, and I know how its mix of older and rebuilt homes affects pricing.
You'll get a room-by-room plan for what's worth doing and what isn't, and vendors I trust if you need help.
Washington sits east of Peoria and East Peoria, with a historic square, boutiques, restaurants, a local winery and the Cornerstone Inn.

What selling your home looks like in Washington
East of Peoria and East Peoria, with a historic town square and Five Points Washington.
- The homes
- Older homes toward the center of town. After the EF4 tornado of November 17, 2013, many homes in several neighborhoods were rebuilt, so a 1950s home can sit right next to a much newer, larger one. There has also been a lot of development over the last 20 to 30 years.
- Schools people ask about
- Three grade-school districts (Washington District 50, Central School District 51 and Washington Grade School District 52) feed Washington Community High School District 308.
- Getting around
- East of Peoria and East Peoria. Heading east from Peoria you cross the Illinois River into East Peoria, then reach Washington, and Eureka sits almost in a direct line farther east.
- Nearby
- A historic town square with a park and fountain, specialty shops and boutiques, restaurants, a local winery and the Cornerstone Inn, a boutique hotel in a restored 19th-century bank building. Five Points Washington, a performing arts center that opened in 2007, is home to the Heartland Festival Orchestra.
