What I Can Help With
Meet
Tera Kidd
Hi, I'm Tera! My partner and I spent years paying sky-high San Diego rent while our landlord traveled the world. Then we found Peoria, fell head over heels, and made an offer on day four. Now I help renters trade rent checks for house keys. Your landlord can fund their own vacation.
Around Peoria
Where I live, and what it's actually like here. Ask me about the towns around it, too.
Get outside
Trade traffic for trails
Hiking was a big part of our life in California, and the trails here were one of the best surprises. Wooded bluffs, creeks, and river paths are a short drive from town, and you won't spend half your Saturday in traffic getting to them. Lucy has personally approved every one of these.
Notes
Short, honest notes on moving here and buying here, from someone who did both last year.
Moving HereRead moreWhat my San Diego friends ask me about Peoria
The two questions I get every time: what's the weather like, and what is there to do. Honest answers to both.
BuyingRead moreWe made an offer on day four. Here's what that was actually like.
How we went from a Facebook listing to an accepted offer in one visit, and what I'd do differently.
Vintage HomesRead moreWhy a 1920s house here beats a cookie-cutter house there
The homes I show most are old, full of character, and often need a little work. That's the point.
