Pray Forest Fires End in Western North Carolina

Posted by I Love Murphy on

It’s hard to believe Western North Carolina is experiencing so many wild fires. As you drive through Murphy, the smoke is so thick, its hard to see in some places. Although there are no fires in Cherokee County NC (and I hope we have none), the area is experiencing a 100+ year drought. I spoke with my mother-in-law and she does not recall it ever being so dry in our beautiful mountains.

I went to Hayesville NC on Veterans Day and had the privilege of watching so many incredible folks try to put out the fires that our plaguing our area. I literally saw a dozen helicopters fly to refill and drop water on raging fires over and over and over again. There are so many heroes who have fought these fires and saved so many homes. I saw smoke that was 100 yards from a home and I can’t imagine the fear and concern some people have for their dreams.

Please keep your prayers up: both for rain and for the brave men and women working so hard to eliminate the fires.

The Poltrock Team Combines Knowledge and Enthusiasm when Selling Homes

Posted by I Love Murphy on

I received a letter from John Poltrock introducing himself and his team regarding selling and buying real estate.  When my wife and I decided to sell our townhouse in Hayesville, NC, we called John. We found him to be very knowledgeable and enthusiastic.  We found selling our home  to be a great and professional experience working with The Poltrock Team and would absolutely recommend them. John even got multiple offers for us and helped us figure out the best way to handle it so we got more money than we thought possible!

An Awesome Poltrock Team Testimonial from a Real Estate Seller AND Buyer

Posted by I Love Murphy on

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.

Scholarships Are Being Given in Murphy NC and Surrounding Areas

Posted by I Love Murphy on

At this time of year, I have the privilege of sitting on several scholarship committees where we get to interview many of the areas High School Seniors and award them with scholarships. The best part is, many of the scholarships cover not only the Cherokee County/Murphy NC area, but Robbinsville, Hayesville, and beyond. It’s an amazing opportunity. Every year there are some outstanding graduates who have accomplished unparalleled feats – all before they even go to college. The talent, skill, and genuine-ness (is that even a word!?) is something to be admired. Not only that, our local teachers need to be commended for helping them grow to be the person they are and the future that lays before them.

Mountain Lakes Board of Realtors Scholarship – this one is provided by our local Board of Realtors to a graduating Senior. Many area Realtors contribute this fund to give to a worthy graduate in the area covered by the Board of Realtors. This is always the one I contribute to as I get to have active roll in the process and get to meet the recipients.

The Community Foundation of Western North Carolina – this is a non-profit group that manages not only one scholarship, but many that cover all of Western North Carolina. They issued several to Cherokee County Students, and an astounding  106 awards to 101 students with a grand total of $284,500 scholarships – for 2010 alone. I’ve worked and/or met with many of the staff here and they are an amazing group of professionals who help make higher education possible for many of WNC’s best and brightest. Thank you for all your help and hard work!

With all this said, Congratulations to all graduating Seniors.

We’re rooting for you!
