Meet Chris Rothan

Local Expertise. Trusted Service. Real Results.

I'm Chris Rothan, a full-time REALTOR® and real estate professional proudly serving Peoria, Illinois, and surrounding communities. As the co-founder of The Rothan Group at eXp Realty, I work alongside my trusted partner, Leslie Rothan, to provide an elevated real estate experience built on service, strategy, and local insight.

My approach is simple: treat every client the way I’d want to be treated if I were buying or selling a home. Real estate is more than just a transaction — it’s a major life decision, and you deserve a partner who listens, advocates, and delivers. That’s what I bring to every relationship.

With deep knowledge of the Peoria IL real estate market — including areas like Dunlap, Edwards, Morton, Washington, East Peoria, Bloomington, Normal, and the broader Central Illinois region — I help buyers find homes that match their lifestyle and goals, and help sellers position their properties for maximum impact and return.
