Why Peoria Appeals to Buyers
From a prairie fire name to a city of 190,985.
Albert J. and Elizabeth Straw were the first to establish residency here, in November 1886, and the city incorporated on June 7, 1954. The name comes from a Miami Illinois word for prairie fire, and Peoria counted 190,985 residents in the 2020 Census.
Peoria reaches into both Maricopa and Yavapai counties and covers about 179 square miles, which makes it the sixth largest Arizona city by land area. A Peoria real estate agent helps you choose between Old Town, the Lake Pleasant area and everything in between.
Deah serves Peoria as part of her West Valley business and wrote a resource guide that covers both Surprise and Peoria.

★★★★★
After trying to buy a house in Arizona remotely from our old home in Massachusetts, Deah was the only agent (of several tried) my wife and I had success. She communicated quickly, honestly and followed up on all the details. She was recommended to us by another real estate agent who does not service Sun City West. She appears to have a solid reputation with both her peers and clients. HIGHLY recommended!

We would not have our dream home here in Arizona without Deah. I couldn’t have imagined purchasing a house before I saw it in person, but Deah’s professionalism, attention to detail, and calm demeanor made all the difference in the world! She is so responsive and trustworthy and Deah truly cares more about her clients’ happiness and satisfaction than she does about closing the deal. Deah is the one you want on your side during the stressful time of buying a home.

Deah was our real estate agent for our move from California to Arizona. Deah was extremely helpful as we had to view properties through FaceTime and she was able to point out issues that would have been difficult to see through media. She is very familiar with the area and her experience in the market was beneficial through the searching process and even afterwards as she is able to recommend services locally. She provided updates in the process and at least every few days she checked on how our sale was going and provided assistance or advice. The entire process in buying our home was seamless and I would highly recommend using Deah for any real estate transactions

I have dealt with many realtors in the past and Deah was the best! Deah was exceptional and went out of her way to assist us as an out of state seller. She arranged for flooring, house cleaning, house painting and staging. She was very responsive and professional. She is someone you can trust. I highly recommend her.
