A New Home Thanks to The Poltrock Team

Posted by I Love Murphy on

We found out about The Poltrock Team from our parents.  After meeting with John, we knew we wanted to work with them.  We had a wonderful experience and John did a great job!  The email signings, his always being there when we had questions, and making a smooth sale were so very helpful.

John is a great person to work with during this process. My husband and I had all our questions answered and everything was easy and on time!  Even though we are not in town, we got everything done by mail or e-mail.  Thank you for everything and we will be (hopefully) moving “home” in a few years.  Thank you!

Multiple Offers in a Home In Murphy NC

Posted by I Love Murphy on

It is a very encouraging time to be selling real estate in Murphy NC! We had a house to under contract today (which is always exciting for all parties involved) and there were two offers on the home – at the same time! For a seller, this can be very good news. What often, but not always, happens is one party really wants the house and will be willing to pay a greater amount to get it. Then to top it off, yet another party advised us a backup offer will be coming tomorrow! It’s a great day when as their Realtor, you’re responsible for getting the seller upwards of three offers in the same week.

Home Inspections when Buying a Home in Murphy NC

Posted by I Love Murphy on

When you’ve been shopping for real estate in Murphy NC and you’ve found a home you want to buy, having it inspected by a licensed home inspector is one smart move. Regardless of the condition you may think the home is in, an inspector can find issues with a home you never knew existed.

Home Inspectors Check a Wide Variety of Items. Here, notice there’s NO insulation!!

I always joke, but do seriously mean it, that hopefully an inspection is a complete waste of your money. Hopefully they’ll go through and find a few minor issues that are no big deal. At least that way you know! It’s the big things you are looking for so they can be remedied.

Here are some frequently asked questions I get a lot about home inspections:

1) Do you recommend a home inspection on a new construction home?

Absolutely! Homes are built by humans just like you and I. The fact is, they make mistakes. Although the odds are less for things being wrong, I believe it is still wise to do.

2) Can they check every aspect of the home I’m buying?

No. Although a home inspector checks a very wide array of parts of your home, there are limitations. Termite and septic are two things they are unable to check and are offered by a separate inspection. Also, they can’t see through walls and things of that sort. If you’d like more detail on what they are able to check, I encourage you to contact a reputable inspector.

3) What happens if an issue is found that needs repair?

When an item is found that needs repair, it is completely negotiable between the buyer and seller. Bear in mind that when you pay an inspector to do a full home inspection, there is an obligation to find something wrong with the property. Some items found are silly and some are important. So before you consider asking for a repair, ask yourself a few questions.
-Is this a big deal?
-Is the item doing the job it was intended to do?
-Was that item required as part of the building code when the home was built?

4) What about foreclosures?

You may have noticed that many foreclosures are being sold as is, where is. That does not mean that you cannot have inspection done on the property. In fact, I highly encourage you have foreclosures inspected. It is common that the bank nor the listing real estate agent know much of any use about the property. Because of that situation, it makes an inspection that much more important. What the bank means by as is, where is is they have no intention of doing any repairs to the property when you find something on the home inspection. In some instances, we have been able to successfully negotiate repairs on a foreclosed property. However, that is not the norm. It is a case-by-case basis that we can guide you through if you are purchasing a foreclosure home.

5) What price range can I expect for a normal home inspection?

Home inspections by a licensed home inspector normally cost between $300-500. The cost is normally driven by factors such as size, location, and features of the home.

6) What does a home inspector actually inspect?

As I mentioned above, the home inspector truly checks a wide array of items in a home. To give you a better idea though, here is a laundry list style of things to expect to be checked: the foundation, basement, structure, siding, windows, doors, other exterior elements, roof, plumbing, electrical system, plumbing system, central and other types of heating and air conditioning, walls, ceilings, floors, and major appliances.

Barb and Brian Gabriel Get their Home and Acreage Sold In Murphy NC

Posted by I Love Murphy on

We found The Poltrock Team in the local newspaper, The Cherokee Scout. Once we noticed them, we kept seeing them everywhere! I asked around and contacted several friends on who they would use to sell their house, and John and Jessica Poltrock’s name kept coming up. Once we hired them to sell our real estate, I was very impressed. They had good attention to detail – and that is very important to us. We appreciated the steady stream of feedback and information so we always knew what was going on. In a down real estate market, that information is critical to understand the status of your sale. And ultimately, they sold it! That’s exactly what we wanted!

Whether you’re buying or selling a home and acreage in the mountains, we’re ready to help—reach out via murphy nc real estate.

Brenton and Hannah Hardin Buy a Foreclosure Home in Murphy NC with The Poltrock Team at REMAX

Posted by I Love Murphy on

We’ve known John and Jessica Poltrock for many years now. When we first started looking at homes, we were contacting the listing agent of the home just to find out more information about it. In doing that, we got stuck working with a real estate agent we didn’t like. It didn’t end up going anywhere (thankfully!) and we called John and Jessica because they were friends and gave a GREAT!! reputation. Our experience after our call to them was night and day different.

The Poltrock Team stood by us through thick and thin and in all the things we faced in buying our house. After looking at many homes, the one we bought was a foreclosure home. We were on an emotional roller coaster many times, and even through that, they were always very helpful, handy, prompt, and proficient. They gave us all the time, care, concern, and encouragement we needed. I would NOT use any other Realtors than John and Jessica Poltrock and REMAX! I honestly cannot put into words how wonderful our experience was. We look forward to getting our house listed and sold soon so we can move to our new home!

Thank you John and Jessica!
