Learning, Leadership, and a Little Family Fun at the NC REALTORS® Convention in Wilmington!

Posted by Courtneynones@gmail.com on

This past weekend, John, Jessica, and Katie traveled to beautiful Wilmington, North Carolina, for the annual NC REALTORS® Convention! It was a fantastic weekend filled with professional development, networking, team building, and plenty of opportunities to enjoy everything Wilmington has to offer.

Staying Connected and Ahead of the Industry

The NC REALTORS® Convention brings together real estate professionals from across the state to share ideas, discuss industry trends, and learn from one another. Throughout the event, John, Jessica, and Katie attended educational sessions, connected with fellow REALTORS®, and gained valuable insights to bring back to our team.

One of the highlights of the convention was John’s participation in a Broker-in-Charge (BIC) panel, where he joined other industry professionals to discuss pressing issues facing today’s real estate market. It was a great opportunity to share his experience, exchange perspectives, and contribute to important conversations about the challenges and opportunities shaping our industry.

Exploring Wilmington and Making Memories

Of course, the weekend wasn’t all business! John, Jessica, and Katie also made time to enjoy some family fun and explore the beautiful coastal city of Wilmington.

From bike tours and sightseeing to trying out local restaurants, they took full advantage of their time together. Wilmington’s historic charm, scenic waterfront, and vibrant dining scene provided the perfect backdrop for some relaxation and quality family time between convention activities.

Growing Stronger Together

Beyond the educational sessions and industry discussions, the convention was a wonderful opportunity for team building and strengthening relationships. Taking time away from the everyday hustle allows us to gain fresh perspectives, recharge, and return with renewed enthusiasm for what we do.

Continuing education, professional involvement, and strong relationships are at the heart of our commitment to real estate. Events like the NC REALTORS® Convention remind us how important it is to stay informed, remain engaged, and continually look for ways to better serve our clients and community.

John, Jessica, and Katie returned from Wilmington with new knowledge, great memories, and plenty of inspiration. We’re excited to put what they learned into practice and look forward to the next opportunity to learn, connect, and grow!

Posted by Courtneynones@gmail.com on

Thank You, Cherokee County – From The Poltrock Team!

We are absolutely overjoyed to share that The Poltrock Team has been voted Best Real Estate Office in the Cherokee Scout Readers’ Choice Awards for the 3rd time! In addition, our Team leader John Poltrock was named Best Real Estate Agent for the 11th time!

To say we’re grateful is an understatement. These awards are determined by YOU, our friends, neighbors, and everyone else in-between. Every vote represents someone we’ve had the privilege to work with, or someone who believes in the work we do. From the bottom of our hearts: Thank You!

A Reflection of Community Support

Achieving these awards isn’t just a recognition of what happens within our office walls, it’s a celebration of the relationships we’ve built over the years. Real estate in a mountain community like Cherokee County isn’t only about buying and selling homes. It’s about helping people take the next step in their lives, whether that’s a young couple buying their first home, a retiree finding their dream cabin in the woods, or a family selling the place where they’ve made decades of memories. We take pride in being part of those moments, and these awards remind us how meaningful that connection truly is.

The People Behind The Poltrock Team

Our Team’s success starts with the people who show up every day. With six dedicated in-house Buyer’s Agents, The Poltrock Team is structured to ensure that every client receives personalized attention from someone who truly knows our area. Each agent brings their own strengths, but all share a commitment to honesty and service.

Behind the scenes, we have another six talented staff members who are the heart of our operation. From coordinating listings and closings, to managing marketing materials and client communication, they make sure every detail is handled smoothly. Their work often goes unseen, but it’s essential to ensuring our clients have a stress-free experience from start to finish.

Leadership and Experience You Can Count On

At the head of our Team is John Poltrock, our lead Listing Agent and an experienced local REALTOR® with over 20 years in the field. John combines technological expertise, market knowledge, and genuine southern hospitality to help clients make confident real estate decisions. With a degree in Financial Planning, he brings an analytical edge that allows him to interpret market data and provide straightforward, honest advice about pricing, value, and timing. John’s focus has always been simple: serve clients well, and work hard. His 11th win as “Best Real Estate Agent” isn’t just a reflection of his individual effort, it’s a reflection of the trust our community continues to place in him and our entire Team.
