Renae Dietrich, an agent with Jim Maloof/Realtor in their Washington, Illinois, office, called me to photograph this very nice home in East Peoria this week. Renae had been referred to me by Cilla Williams, one of my regular clients who's also a Maloof agent.

The three-story house sits at 139 Star Rim Drive (listing details here) on a steep bluff overlooking the Illinois River. The view is fantastic, and each level of the home features a fireplace inside and a deck for enjoying the scenery outside. An open floor plan, floor-to-ceiling windows, two full kitchens, garage with workshop, and lots of space for entertaining make this a unique and desirable home.

Renae was terrific to work with, and she sent me some very kind words after the session:

“Thank you for the extra time and effort you put into getting the shots you did. They really are incredible and capture many features of this unique home. Your eye for detail, your position in the room when taking a shot, your care. Your shots are “on purpose” every time. You have a vision that you desire each shot to look like and you know when that vision is going to happen. For instance... waiting for the sun to be in the right position to get the best photo. This listing deserved you. It deserved attention and detail. Thank you for giving it that.”

— Renae Dietrich, Jim Maloof/Realtor
