The pricing question
Why overpricing is the most expensive mistake.
In a market where homes sell in two to four weeks, the first two weeks of your listing are everything. That is when buyer traffic, agent attention, and offers are strongest. A price above the evidence chases that momentum away, and a home that sits starts to look negotiable in a way that costs more than any price cut.
Peoria's market is competitive but not reckless. Around a third of listings currently take a price adjustment. The homes that sell fastest and safest are almost always priced from the start where the data says the market will land.
I'd rather have the conversation about pricing before we list than have the market have it for us after thirty days.
My pricing includes a comparative market analysis built from active listings, pending sales, and closed comparables in your actual neighborhood.
What a listing with Teri includes
Presentation, marketing, and protection from start to close.
Comparative market analysis
A documented pricing strategy based on what buyers in your exact area are actually paying.
Professional marketing
Bright, accurate photography, well-written listing copy, and syndication across the portals buyers use.
Pre-listing guidance
A prioritized list of the repairs, deep cleans, and touch-ups that return real money, and the ones not worth your time.
Showings handled
Because I do not run an immediate family at home, I bring a full schedule to your showings, offers, and deadlines.
Offer review and negotiation
Every offer brought to the table, compared on price, terms, and strength, with your goals driving the answer.
Contract-to-close management
Inspection, appraisal, title, and lender deadlines tracked daily so nothing quietly jeopardizes your closing.
Tough situations, handled honestly
Divorce, estate, and short sale listings need a different kind of agent.
Some listings come with real weight behind them: a family estate, a change forced by divorce, or a mortgage that exceeds the market. I bring the same integrity and clear communication to those sales, and I have deep familiarity guiding sellers through lender negotiations on short sales in Central Illinois.
You deserve to understand the options, the timelines, and the real outcomes before making a single decision. That education is part of the service, not an upsell.

Is the market slowing down?
Short answer: not really. The market report breaks down supply, days on market, and what it means for your listing.
Commercial property?
Commercial sales follow different rules. I bring residential-level care to commercial listings too.
