The Most Enjoyable & The Smoothest Selling Experience I’ve Had!

Posted by I Love Murphy on

I learned about The Poltrock Team through a mailing they sent to me, TP photo2and I decided to work with them because of their professionalism.  The Poltrock Team made this the most enjoyable and the smoothest house selling experience I’ve had (and I’m selling 7 homes!).  Because of GREAT communication and practical advice, I was able to get more money than I was asking and a QUICK closing!!

The most helpful thing John Poltrock did was recommend a great contractor to take care of some issues I had in my basement. He got someone for me and I didn’t have to worry about it any more!

John went above and beyond the call of duty to take care of EVERYTHING!

The Importance of a Home Inspection in Murphy NC Real Estate

Posted by I Love Murphy on

When you’re getting a home inspection on a home you’re buying in Murphy, NC, it simply makes “good sense.” In fact, I commonly equate it to buying a Carfax Report when you’re purchasing a car – you hope you’re throwing your money away, but if there’s something that pops up, you’ll be glad you did it.

Home inspectors commonly go through a home and check a variety of items. A few of the items they check on while going through your future home can be: appliances, electrical outlets, light fixtures, heating and air conditioning systems, possibly the water, radon, commodes, water heater, and much more.

Base cost for most home inspections is $350 and can go up from there based on the size of the home and a few a la carte tests that can be done. Once the inspection is completed, you get a thick report with many pictures showing issues, concerns, and maintenance items. This report allows you to request repairs, if needed, on the home you’re buying.

One important thing for real estate buyers and sellers to remember is that home inspectors almost always find something that needs repair. In fact, if you think about it, if someone paid you $350 to check out a house, you would feel a bit obligated to find something. If there’s small nit-picky items on the inspection, in many cases you don’t need to worry about it. The key is you’re looking for major issues of concern that need to be repaired.

Need a home inspector? Go to our Murphy NC “Gotta Guy” List for Recommended Contractors today! You can find several choices on folks who do good work. The next time you’re buying a home, be certain to get a home inspection – even if your house is brand-spankin’ new. Sometimes, those check out worse than resales because sub contractors forgot to do something, something was overlooked, or a shortcut was taken.

Enjoy your new home!
