Real Estate Agent

About

Hi there! I’m Matthew Hatcher, a proud Central Illinois native with deep roots in the Peoria area. From strolls along the Riverfront to hiking the trails at Forest Park Nature Center, Detweiller, or Starved Rock this community has always felt like home—and now I’m grateful for the chance to help others find their place here too. Growing up around Peoria, Dunlap, Morton, East Peoria, Washington, and all the small towns in between has given me a real appreciation for what makes this area special. I know the neighborhoods with the best school districts, the quiet cul-de-sacs, the up-and-coming pockets, and the hidden gems only locals talk about. Whether you want the charm of a small town or the convenience of being close to the city, I’ve got you covered. What drives me in real estate is simple: people. I love helping clients navigate the buying and selling process with honesty, enthusiasm, and that friendly Central Illinois touch. Whether you’re a first-time buyer, growing your family, downsizing, or investing, I’m here to make the process smooth, supportive, and maybe even a little fun. When I’m not working with clients, you’ll probably find me hiking another local trail, trying out a new restaurant, or checking out one of the many events and activities that make the Peoria area such a great place to live—from festivals and farmers markets to seasonal happenings all over the region. If you’re looking for a real estate agent who truly knows—and loves—Peoria and the surrounding communities, I’d be thrilled to help you with your next move.
