We discovered The Poltrock Team in their Country Roads Ad in the Cherokee Scout and we chose them because they are incredibly aggressive and professional.

We have found that The Poltrock Team is the most dedicated, hardest working, honest, and knowledgeable real estate team I have ever came in contact with and done business with out of the six local real estate companies we have had under contract to buy or sell any real estate we have had.

For our money, The Poltrock Team at REMAX is the ONLY way to go. If you want success, if you want to sell, or if you want to buy real estate. They do everything they say they will do and keep you informed through the entire process. We will absolutely use you again.

Our Realtor, John Poltrock, was helpful to us in many ways. He went out of his way to help us above and beyond his normal routine as a Realtor. He was like having a best friend and close family member at the same time. If you are ever in the area looking to buy a home, John is the person to look up ask for anyone else. He’s the person you want.

Yours truly,
Linda and Bob Scullion

We stopped in the RE/MAX Real Estate office in Murphy to met John because he had a property for sale right beside us. From the time we made an offer to buy the property all the way through closing, they were great! It was extremely helpful with us being in Florida because they took care of everything for us – surveyors, attorneys, you name it! Thanks guys!

We found The Poltrock Team because they were the listing agent on the property we decided to buy. We’ve bought many properties over the years, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. John is extremely responsive – he returns phone calls, emails, unreal! I know it seems what you would expect, but its far from the norm. He always was available to make sure we had the information we needed to get the transaction done. He helped us get the furnishings in the house, lined up all the best inspectors, termite folks, and even knew how to make a 1031 exchange closing work. He wanted to know what he can do to improve, and I’ve got to be honest, I don’t know what he could do different! There’s no doubt in my mind, he’s the best!

Culberson Community is residential area in Murphy, North Carolina. In fact, it’s largest landmark is a small, humble US Post Office. It only acts as a place to drop mail, have PO Boxes, and purchase stamps/send packages.

Culberson is full of old homes and homesites  on the main road that have been home for local families for generations. In a few cases, you can find old dilapidated homes that have been neglected for years that were once home to a family. If those walls could talk, we’d learn a lot!

Because of its small size, it has only a handful of developments and Turkey Creek is one of them.

Culberson is located just barely North of the Georgia line in North Carolina.  It’s main road is Spur 60 – a four lane road with a left turn lane in the center. There are many side streets of off their such as Shady Grove Road, Culberson Road, Nicholson Road, Raper Road (named after a local family name), and several others.

Culberson has the beautiful Nottley River that runs through much of it. It’s low terrain offers many great places for pasture, cattle, flat land, and even homes with real yards. There are very few true “mountains” here that offer views and high elevations, which some folks certainly are not looking for. If you’re looking for something gentle that’s not hanging off the side of the mountain, Culberson has some really good opportunities to buy real estate.

Culberson has a great location with quick proximity to both Murphy NC and Blue Ridge, GA. Headed South, Spur 60 ties into Mineral Bluff, GA and ultimately Blue Ridge. Headed North, Spur 60 leads you right to the main road through Cherokee County – Highway 64/74.

From the moment we met John and Jessica, we knew we found the right Realtors. We found them almost by accident! Our old real estate agent would send us all the properties that sold every month – and we kept seeing the Poltrocks on the listing and selling side! When our listing expired, we knew we had to call them.

Their professionalism, energy level, and attention to detail brought about a quick sale of our home, even in a down market. They constantly communicated with us to let us know what was going on, and at this point in our lives and with such a huge change, we needed and great appreciate it. We would highly recommend them to anyone wanting to buy or sell a home in Murphy, North Carolina.

John and Jessica Poltrock provided excellent service to us while we were looking for our mountain property. John me us after hours to look at one piece of land we were interested in. Once we put our offer to purchase on the property, he continue to give us updates on the progress of our purchase until it closed. John always made himself available and helpful for us an our records. I would recommend The Poltrock Team to anyone looking for real estate, to buy or sell.

Think it'll perc for a septic system?

When you’re looking to buy real estate in the mountains of Murphy, North Carolina, flushing your toilet isn’t usually the first thing that comes to mind – and it should be. Well, maybe not the very first thing, but it’s high on the list. The land your searching for should either have a valid septic permit on file or your contract should be contingent on buying it with a septic permit prior to closing.

Buying land without a septic permit in the mountains is like going to Vegas and tossing the dice with $20,000 or more – the only difference is the odds are in your favor. More than likely, your parcel of land you want to buy will get a septic permit. Odds are you’ll have no problem. BUT if you end rolling the dice and you can’t get a septic permit, you just lost tens of thousands of dollars. All of a sudden, your only buyer pool is an adjoining neighbor who wants it for privacy – and they don’t pay.

When you’re buying your parcel of land in the mountains, be certain to get a septic permit. If it doesn’t, make your contract contingent on it and INVEST the extra $600 it costs in your peace of mind. The Cherokee County Health Department will be more than happy to trade you $600 for that little pink septic permit that’ll let you know you’re getting the deal you want, and if they can’t, you’ll be glad you’re only out $600 bucks.

Read this article to find out how much different kinds of septic systems cost in Murphy NC.
