Hi! I'm Pete Vandeplanck
Having helped many families buy, sell or relocate, I have the local knowledge, experience and track record you are looking for! My experience is in listing and selling for the right price, aggressively representing buyers and first-time buyers, and assisting folks who want a custom-built new home!
I'm a full-time broker-agent licensed in Illinois and a member of the local, state and national Realtor associations.
I've earned the ABR designation which stands for "Accredited Buyer's Representative", a course of study offered by REBAC (Real Estate Buyer's Agent Council), a part of the National Association of Realtors.
I have also earned the Graduate REALTOR® Institute designation (GRI) through coursework developed by the Illinois Association of Realtors. Taught by leading real estate professionals from around the country, the Graduate REALTOR® Institute is designed to educate practitioners about local, state, and national real estate practices. I also have the Certified Distressed Property Expert designation and e-Pro certification.
My background was in private Country Club Management for 25 years; we moved to the area in 1993 when I took the position of General Manager at Urbana Golf & Country Club. After several more years in club management, I decided to change careers and return to Champaign-Urbana to enjoy the area we always loved and share my daughter’s journey through her later childhood years (she graduated from St. Joe/Ogden High and also from Southern Illinois University (Cum Laude), with a major in Aviation-Management and minor in Theater). She lives out of state with her husband and 2 year old son!
I look forward to working with you!
PROFESSIONAL SERVICES
Buyers Representative
We can help you get financing, guide you to local neighborhoods, help you determine your budget, and prioritize a list of essential features that you need in your next home. We'll save you valuable time by finding the properties that best suit your requirements, and will show you only the most promising ones.
Once you've found a place that catches your eye, we'll look at comparable properties in the area to help determine a purchase offer. Then assist you through the entire process.
Sellers Representative
Selling a house on your own can be an overwhelming task. There's advertising to plan and budget for, open houses and private showings to arrange, purchase offers to negotiate, contract contingencies to worry about, and complicated paperwork to fill out. Make it easy on yourself by putting your home in the hands of a seasoned professional. I have extensive experience marketing properties and showing them to their best advantage.
First, I'll perform a comparable market analysis to determine the most appropriate price for your home. Then we'll provide home staging advice and suggest landscaping changes or repairs etc that will help draw buyers in. We'll advertise your home through a variety of methods, including local publications and online MLS® listings. I also do Open Houses and walk the neoghborhood the Saturday before to personally inform neighbors about the Open House.

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY
When my wife and I called Pete about selling our house he came over and explained the whole process in detail. Even though we gave him short notice that we were moving he was well prepared, he had info on our house and houses in our area that were similar. We discussed the time line and he gave good suggestions about improvements to do before listing.
Once we listed the house and moved out of state Pete went out of his way to make the experience positive. When we had an offer on the house he kept me well informed and represented us well with the buyers. Pete even made sure the inspectors and few repairs wanted had access to the house. I didn't need to return until the closing. We were very pleased with the whole process.
I am sure whether your buying or selling Pete is the best choice in Champaign-Urbana area.
