Traders Realty is one of the largest and most respected real estate companies in Central Illinois. Founded by Dewey Wilkins in 1938, our firm has developed land for residential and commercial uses, maintained a rental and management division, an associated insurance agency, an industrial and commercial division, in addition to our very active residential sales division.

Today, under the direction of Jeff Kolbus, Traders Realty is a strong force in the Peoria area with nearly 90 sales associates. The residential division is active in an area extending 20 miles in all directions from Peoria, creating a sales volume of over $143 million in 2006. We have three conveniently located offices at 721 W. Lake Avenue, in the heart of Peoria, the Lake of the Woods Plaza, located in the popular north suburban area, and Camp Street Crossing, East of the River.

Traders Realty is consistently one of the top brokers in the Tri-County area. We believe that Traders Realty maintains the most extensive company advertising program in our market. Additionally, we utilize full color brochures and direct mail pieces to more effectively market your home.

Traders Realty employs a full-time closing manager in each office to direct and supervise the closing of each transaction. In addition to providing the best and fastest closing possible, it permits our salespeople to do their most important job...marketing real estate.

Our Relocation Department, an affiliate of the Leading Real Estate Companies of the World Referral Network, provides a complete service for the relocating family. We understand the many problems the transferee faces, and are well equipped to assist the relocating family, starting with a relocation package including current information on property, financing, schools, and area services.
