Thank You, Cherokee County – From The Poltrock Team!

We are absolutely overjoyed to share that The Poltrock Team has been voted Best Real Estate Office in the Cherokee Scout Readers’ Choice Awards for the 3rd time! In addition, our Team leader John Poltrock was named Best Real Estate Agent for the 11th time!

To say we’re grateful is an understatement. These awards are determined by YOU, our friends, neighbors, and everyone else in-between. Every vote represents someone we’ve had the privilege to work with, or someone who believes in the work we do. From the bottom of our hearts: Thank You!

A Reflection of Community Support

Achieving these awards isn’t just a recognition of what happens within our office walls, it’s a celebration of the relationships we’ve built over the years. Real estate in a mountain community like Cherokee County isn’t only about buying and selling homes. It’s about helping people take the next step in their lives, whether that’s a young couple buying their first home, a retiree finding their dream cabin in the woods, or a family selling the place where they’ve made decades of memories. We take pride in being part of those moments, and these awards remind us how meaningful that connection truly is.

Going Above and Beyond for Our Sellers — Even in the Crawlspace

Real estate transactions often come with unexpected hurdles. Some are major. Others… feel a little unnecessary.

Recently, during the sale of one of our listings, the lender requested that the water heater be secured to the wall. Normally, this makes sense when a water heater is in a garage or living space where it could potentially be bumped or knocked over.

But this one? It was located in a crawlspace.

While it wasn’t in a location where it could realistically tip over, the request still had to be addressed to keep the transaction moving forward.

Instead of delaying closing or passing the task along, our team lead, John Poltrock, personally went into the crawlspace and secured the unit to satisfy the lender’s condition.

Was it glamorous? No.
Was it necessary to get our seller to closing? Yes.

At The Poltrock Team, we believe our job doesn’t stop at listing a property. We handle the details, solve the problems, and say yes to the extra steps — even when they seem minor — to protect our clients’ timelines and peace of mind.

Because smooth closings don’t happen by accident. They happen because someone is willing to go above and beyond.

If You Want a Hands on Realtor Then Call John Poltrock

There are no words that can express how grateful we are for Johns service. We listed our house with a different realtor originally and realized quickly what a huge mistake that was. We switched to John and immediately noticed a huge difference. He was hands on from the get-go. We walked the property together, he provided us with a list of things we could do to show our home better, every call was answered in a timely manner – when things seemed stressful he kept us informed and remained calm and patient through out the entire process. Did I mention our house sold within a week of switching to him after it sat on the market for 3 months prior! This man made such a difference in our whole home selling process and I am forever grateful for his professional and calming demeanor (as well as his staff). They’re the best!

Our House Sold in 2 Days

We found out about The Poltrock Team through a referral. Also, The Poltrock Team has ads ALL over town. My favorite is the coffee cups at Waffle King – great idea.

John Poltrock was upfront with exactly how he works. He looked at all comps, and showed us exactly how he arrived at his recommended asking price. He answered all of our questions, and was sure he gave us a realistic goal for time on the market. That being said, the house sold in 2 days – holy cow! While we were in no way ready for that, we got through it, and everything went as planned.

During our real estate transaction, the most helpful thing offered by The Poltrock Team was awesome communication. Texting and e-signing documents made it so easy. The day before closing, John Poltrock called to check on me “because I seemed stressed.” He said he didn’t want to talk business – he just wanted to be sure I was okay.

I wanted to give an additional shout-out to Amanda Beavers with Mountain Country Cabin Rentals, for helping us find one of the very few rentals in the county.

Our real estate experience with The Poltrock Team was wonderful from start to finish. How can you complain when your house sells in 2 days? We would rate The Poltrock Team’s service a 10, and we would absolutely work with them again. I would highly recommend The Poltrock Team to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. See you all in six months to purchase a home!

Whether you’re selling or buying a house, trust the top-rated realtors in murphy nc to guide your journey—The Poltrock Team is just a call away.
