Enjoying the Water on Hiwassee Lake in Murphy NC This Weekend!

Posted by I Love Murphy on

This weekend turned out to be bright and gorgeous! After a long day of showing real estate to some prospective buyers on Saturday, it really was a treat to get out boating on Lake Hiwassee this Sunday.

We put in the boat at the Hanging Dog Forest Service area here in Murphy and then rode all the way to the Hiwassee Dam.

This year is exceptionally beautiful because Hiwassee is practically full! After a couple of years with low rainfall and low water levels on Hiwassee, it’s genuinely a treat to see it that full. It’s beautiful with all the Forest Service it has surrounding it, and yesterday was no exception. It’s great to ride for miles and only see nature around. Natural shoreline is certainly the majority on Hiwassee since it’s only 7% developed and Forest Service owns the rest.

If you’ve not been fishing or skiing on Hiwassee, you should! Much of the water is like glass since the channels are long, slender, and blocked from wind by the mountains. You can find a cove and just enjoy yourself and likely not see another person in your cove!

John C. Campbell Folk School Fall Festival 2008 in Murphy, NC

Posted by I Love Murphy on

Cool weather, falling leaves, and festivals means it is October and that Fall is in full swing here in Murphy, North Carolina!

Last weekend we went to the John C Campbell Folk School‘s Fall Festival here in Murphy, NC / Brasstown, NC. It was perfect weather! Despite gas shortages throughout much of the southeast, 1,000’s of people made their way to come visit the festivities that were wide open all weekend.

Jessica, Katie, and I had a great time walking around, visiting all the different booths, the live music, riding horses (well, Katie did!), eating, and seeing tons of people we haven’t seen in a while! The best part is seeing the truly talented vendors selling everything from their soaps, trinkets, and my personal favorite, photographs.

This year’s Fall Festival was great and we look forward to next year’s!

John and Jessica Bring Superior Education to the Murphy Real Estate Market

Posted by I Love Murphy on

Murphy, NC — March 21, 2008 — John and Jessica Poltrock have just returned from their stay in Greensboro, NC where they completed a highly specialize course in residential real estate buyer sales strategies conducted by the Council of Residential Specialists of the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS.

The course is one in a series of professional education sequences required to qualify for the coveted Certified Residential Specialist (CRS) designation. Learn why you should demand to work with a CRS and how we work.

"The growing importance of negotiation as well as sales strategies in today’s residential real estate market were addressed by the instructor of the course," said Jessica. "The many and varied needs of the buyer, who is making what is probably the largest single purchase of a lifetime, is dealt with in this advanced course."

The segments of the course included counseling techniques, understanding human behavior, and professional knowledge of the required steps in the real estate sales sequence.

The Council of Residential Specialists Courses are presented throughout the U.S. in affiliation with the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS, as part of its on-going program of promoting professionalism of the residential sales associates.

The completion of this course leaves John less than three months from obtaining CRS Designation for paperwork processing. Jessica lacks a mere one course.

Jessica surprised me with a great birthday party! Arriving late (as I was tethered to the phone!) to Enrico’s in Hiawassee, I was surprised to find so many people there! It was a great birthday Jessica and I thank you for it. Everybody who was there, thanks for coming! It was the biggest birthday party I’ve ever had and I really do appreciate it.
