If you search “Who is the #1 Realtor in Cherokee County, NC?” you’ll find a lot of opinions.

But “#1” should be measurable.

So let’s look at actual MLS data from the Mountain Lakes Board of REALTORS for 2025.

No opinions. Just numbers.

 

1. Who Sold the Most Residential Homes?

 

In 2025:

The Poltrock Team sold 154 residential sides in Cherokee County.

That represents 17.30% of the entire residential market.

There were 749 total residential sales countywide.

The #2 ranked team closed 54 sides, representing a 6.02% market share.

That means:

• The Poltrock Team sold 100 more homes than the next closest competitor

• Nearly 3 times as many homes as #2

• An 11+ percentage point lead in market share

Nearly 1 out of every 6 homes sold in Cherokee County involved The Poltrock Team.

That is measurable market leadership.

2. Who Generated the Most Sales Volume?

 

In 2025:

The Poltrock Team closed $49,784,415 in residential real estate.

That is the highest production of any individual team in Cherokee County.

To put that in perspective:

The entire residential market volume was $294,821,884.

One team accounted for roughly 17% of all residential dollars sold.

When nearly 1 in 5 dollars of residential real estate flows through one team, that is not marketing language. That is documented performance.

3. Who Sells Listings Closest to Asking Price?

 

This matters more than most people realize.

From MLS data:

Poltrock Team residential listings sold at 97.74% of asking price (average).

The overall Cherokee County market average was 95.46% of asking price.

That difference is 2.28%.

On a $500,000 home:

97.74% = $488,700

95.46% = $477,300

That’s an $11,400 difference.

Choosing the right Realtor is not about personality. It’s about net proceeds.

4. Who Leads Inside the Largest Brokerage?

 

REMAX Mountain Properties was the largest brokerage in Cherokee County in 2025 with 274 homes sold and a 30.79% market share.

Of those 274 sales, The Poltrock Team accounted for 154 of them.

That’s more than half of the brokerage’s production.

Even inside the top office, The Poltrock Team leads.

What Does “#1” Actually Mean?

If #1 means:

• Most residential sides

• Largest individual team market share

• Highest residential volume

• Above-market list-to-sale performance

Then based on 2025 MLS data, The Poltrock Team leads Cherokee County.

Not by opinion.

By numbers.

Why This Matters to Sellers

Market share isn’t ego.

It means:

• More active buyer relationships

• More negotiating experience

• Real-time pricing insight

• Stronger leverage

• Proven systems

With 21 years of experience in the local market and a structured team model, sellers aren’t hiring a solo agent. They’re hiring infrastructure.

That difference shows up in measurable results.
