The Wedding of John Snow and Rachel West

Posted by I Love Murphy on
This past Saturday night, we attended a spectacular wedding of John Snow and Rachel West. The ceremony was performed at the Methodist Church in downtown Murphy and was packed. I’m certain we were violating some sort of fire code! John’s sister and her husband sang beautifully and truly added a lot to the ceremony.
~ See pictures of their ceremony at:

After the ceremony, the reception was held at McGuire’s Millrace Farm in Peachtree. It was tastefully done to accommodate everyone there. My compliments to all the chefs who were involved in the finger food and dinner.  Frank Barber – I wasn’t aware you are a chef – great job Frank. You and your team pulled it off flawlessly. Wine and others were provided by the Daily Grind and Wine in Murphy.
John and Rachel – We want to congratulate you both and wish you a bountiful life of happiness. Although you’re currently out of the country on your honeymoon in Italy, we want to you to have a blast. Everyone in attendance enjoyed it and I’m sure I speak for everyone when we wish you all the best.

The wedding of John Snow and Rachel West was a beautiful reminder of what makes Murphy special. While you’re here, explore things to do in Murphy NC and feel the charm for yourself!

Cherokee County Total Sales Chart

Posted by I Love Murphy on


Here’s a great chart I thought I would share with you. This chart is courtesy of the Cherokee County Mapping Department Staff. They’re a great team located in the same building as the NC Extension Office here in Murphy.

The great thing about these numbers is that it reflects purely sold property in all of Cherokee County with monetary consideration. In other words, Joe giving his son George a piece of land or even inheriting it doesn’t reflect here. There are three lines – improved land parcels (generally houses or homes, even some commercial buildings), unimproved parcels (vacant land and lot tracts), and the total. The great thing about this chart is it reflects properties transfered over our local Realtor Board – the Mountain Lakes Board of Realtors – and over person to person transactions.

Its easy to see the market has remained flat and stable over the past several months. The stability has been a blessing – buyers are finding more choices than they’ve had in the past and sellers can rely on market that is not “all over the place.”

Want to dive deeper into the Cherokee County Sales Chart and what it means for your property goals? Reach out—and while you’re here, explore things to do in Murphy NC to enjoy the best of mountain living.

If you would like a high-res version of this chart in PDF or JPG, please email me at JohnP@remax.net and I will be happy to send it to you. It may also be requested by making a comment on this blog.

My First 100 in Second Grade

Posted by I Love Murphy on

Friday I made a 100! It was exhalting! And by the way, that means exciting. It was fun, too. I got one word wrong, but it was replaced by one of the challenge words. I missed the word “because.” I did not study it enough. My teacher replaced it with “giggled.” That was my first 100 in Second Grade! I am so proud of myself.

Milestones like “My First 100 in Second Grade” remind us how meaningful progress can be. Celebrate learning and explore things to do in Murphy NC with your little achievers!

Lowered Rates by the Fed!

Posted by I Love Murphy on

The Federal Reserve Chairman, Ben Bernanke, lowered rates by a half-percentage-point cut. It exceeded what most economists believed he and the Fed would do – most were expecting a 1/4%.

This rightfully should spur real estate investment and home purchases. With rates going to an even lower rate, now is a great time to buy! If you’ve been considering looking at real estate in the mountains of North Carolina, visit us to see some of the great properties on the market. You can search our listings and search the MLS for both the Northeast Georgia and Mountain Lakes Board of Realtors.

Lowered rates make it a prime time to invest in your mountain dream. Let us help—and while you’re here, explore things to do in Murphy NC to get a feel for the lifestyle!

Testimonial from Cathy Cottilli

Posted by I Love Murphy on

This is a very kind letter that was written to our office Manager, Patty Worley. It is as follows:

Ms. Worley,

I would like for you know how pleased I am with my agent, John Poltrock. I would highly recommend John to my family and friends. I live in Florida and John made it simple to purchase property in Murphy, North Carolina. I told him exactly what I wanted and in one day I found the exact property I was looking for. John did a great job. He made himself available to me whenever I called. My mother will use John as her agent as she is getting ready to purchase property in Murphy also. I have recommended John to all my friends who have talked about moving to the Murphy area.

We’re honored by Cathy Cottilli’s kind words and ready to help you too! Let us guide your journey—and explore things to do in Murphy NC while you’re here!

Sincerely,

Cathy Cottilli
