Now that you’re giving our region some serious consideration, you want to make a sensible home-buying decision that’s based on accurate information. To begin, let’s dispel 3 myths about buying a home in Murphy, NC.
YOU CAN’T FIND ANYTHING BUT CABINS IN MURPHY
Yes, you can find a great assortment of cabins for sale in Murphy and surrounding Cherokee County. Whether you want to buy a smaller home tucked into a cozy hollow, or a multi-level house that commands a mountain view, you can find it here. Classic-looking chalets and log homes, many with rich wood interiors, have also become popular throughout our region.
Murphy’s housing inventory also includes several types of homes you might not expect to find here. Maybe you prefer a traditional or colonial-style home, often featuring professional landscaping and a sweeping driveway to the property. Or, if you’ve got your sights set on a cool lakefront house with beautiful views and a serene setting, you’re in luck. You might also find a few golf course homes, condos, or duplexes just a short drive from Murphy.
Some homes are in a rent or lease arrangement, with others lying vacant in “move in” condition. Other properties might be in the foreclosures category, with many foreclosed properties offering a good value in your preferred location. Finally, if you’d rather become the owner of a scenic lot (or hundreds of acres) to build your dream home, you’ve got many appealing choices.
YOU SHOULD ALWAYS CONTACT EACH PROPERTY’S LISTING AGENT
Let’s say you browse the Multiple Listing Service, and you find a Murphy house that intrigues you. You’d like to get more information and photos, and perhaps see the property. You’ve already established contact with The Poltrock Team, but you think the target home’s listing agent could better provide assistance. So, who do you call?
Fortunately, The Poltrock Team can help you explore every Murphy property of interest – even if it’s listed by another local realtor. First, we’ll get the home’s relevant details, including showing instructions if you’d like to see it. Because we know our regional market so well, we’ll also summarize other factors pertinent to that specific community.
But our stellar service doesn’t stop there. We offer unparalleled market knowledge, including detailed market analysis metrics you won’t find anywhere else. And, we pair that with our entire team’s commitment to superb customer service.
YOU SHOULD PLACE AN OFFER BEFORE OBTAINING FINANCING
After searching through sales listings for several weeks (or even months), you finally find a Murphy home that perfectly suits your needs. Even better, it’s in move-in condition, and the location and scenery can’t be beat. So, you place an offer, and begin assembling a list of mortgage lenders to call. You think you’re making good progress, but for three reasons your strategy is counterproductive.
No Realistic Price Range
First, when you shop for Murphy houses without lender pre-approval, you won’t have a realistic price range within which to operate. In other words, if you’re pursuing a $300,000 home but might only qualify for a $150,000 property, you’re wasting valuable time and won’t get the outcome you desire.
To avoid that unpleasant result, obtain your pre-approval before seriously shopping for Murphy homes. Remember that when a lender evaluates your application, they’ll consider five important criteria: (1) the property’s value (2) your down payment (3) your income (4) your credit history and (5) your employment history and current status.
Disadvantage During Contract Negotiations
Second, when you place an offer before obtaining financing, you’ll be at a disadvantage during contract negotiations (if applicable). In other words, you won’t have as much leverage as an applicant with a pre-approval in their hands. Again, completing this process beforehand will prevent this unfortunate result.
Shut Out by Pre-approved Buyers
Lastly (and probably most frustrating), while you spend valuable time providing information to lenders, a pre-approved buyer could easily swoop in and get a more advantageous offer accepted. In other words, they could literally “score a touchdown” while you await your turn on the playing field. Don’t place yourself in that position – get that pre-approval first.

Love Donna and the Poltrock Team! What I found most impressive about working with a realtor in Donna was her patience. We never felt pressured by her into a home. She truly wanted to help us find a place that we loved, and we had a long list of demands. Donna never brought us to a house that didn’t fit the bill. We’re very thankful God gave us a wonderful realtor in Donna to lead us to our dream home.

Watching the August 21 Total Solar Eclipse was like opening a highly anticipated present on Christmas morning. For several weeks (even months) ahead, we read about this rare natural phenomenon. A total solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes in front of the Sun, completely blocking the Sun’s light and briefly turning day into night. During the August 21 event, viewers in a nationwide 70-mile-wide swath would enjoy the maximum effect. Here in Brasstown, the spectacle began at 1:05 p.m. EDT in a clear, hot day dotted by puffy clouds.
As we settled into our Brasstown, North Carolina viewing spot (just a few miles from Murphy, NC), we kept our eclipse viewing glasses and water bottles close at hand. Every few minutes, we slipped on the glasses and gazed at the Sun, watching the Moon’s slow migration across the brilliant white sphere. First, the Moon’s effect was barely noticeable; however, the Sun’s circular shape gradually transformed into an ever-shrinking crescent as the sky darkened around us. Shadows began to appear, and the surrounding landscape took on the colors of twilight.
As the total eclipse (or “Totality”) crept closer, we noticed a drop in temperature, with some observers noting that it felt 10 degrees cooler. Shortly before the magic moment, our environment grew very still, with birds flying up to their nighttime roosts and crickets chirping in the distance. A rooster also began to crow, likely convinced that the “twilight” meant it was time to begin a new day.
Finally, at 2:34 p.m. EDT, we experienced “Totality” in Brasstown, with a dark twilight taking over the forested landscape as the Moon completely covered the Sun. This amazing spectacle lasted only 2 minutes 26 seconds, giving us just enough time to enjoy the view before a sliver of sunlight peeked from behind the Moon’s shadow. When that occurred, we quickly donned our eclipse glasses to safely enjoy the rest of the show. Watching for more than an hour, we saw the Moon continue its path across the Sun, with daylight and warmer temperatures gradually returning as well.
Finally, the Great American Eclipse was over, not to return nationwide for many years. As we swapped viewing experiences and sipped cold drinks, we marveled at this stunning solar extravaganza that had unfolded right before our eyes. This was certainly a once-in-a-lifetime event, made for sharing with family and friends across the country. Even better, we had experienced it from peaceful Brasstown, just a stone’s throw from Murphy, NC in a beautiful little corner of the world.
