Jim and Debbie Burch of Orlando FL are excited Murphy NC Land Buyers (and soon to be Murphy-onians!)

Posted by I Love Murphy on

Jim and Debbie Burch Recommend The Poltrock Team at REMAX in Murphy NC!Jim and Debbie Burch and their family just purchased an acreage tract of property and fully intend to move to Murphy, NC full time when they retire. They’re super folks and will make great neighbors! Here’s what they had to say about their experience buying land with The POLTROCK TEAM at REMAX Mountain Properties:

“We want to express how happy we are with the service we received from John & Jessica Poltrock in our recent purchase of a lot in Degatide Estates.

John made us feel as if we were his ONLY clients, or at least his most important ones.

His dedication and endless energy, his commitment to our best interest, and his willingness to help at ANY TIME OF DAY…. (and we did bother him at some odd hours!)…. is far above and beyond the level of service we are used to.

Although the purchase price of our lot was less than $30,000, we are SURE we got the same attention as someone spending 30 million. We never felt as if the purchase price was not worth his time.

Sadly enough, we did contact other agents in the area for information before we found The Poltrock Team. Many never bothered to return our call. The ones that did reply only sent us information on listings way outside the parameters of our search. They hadn’t hear a word we had said.

John and Jessica, however, have an uncanny knack of hearing between the lines, and were able to find EXACTLY what we were looking for. Funny thing about that is… we were somewhat undecided. I wanted mountain view, my wife wanted a creek. John showed us a lot with a high hill and possible seasonal view that ALSO has a beautiful creek.

We wonder still…. ‘How did he DO that?’

Our hats off to the amazing John and Jessica!”

Invest in the Mountains of Murphy NC – Especially Now!

Posted by I Love Murphy on

With the Holiday season coming to a wrap and 2009 young and vibrant, we all are looking forward to a year of progress. President Obama’s term is getting ready to begin, and regardless of whether you are a supporter or not, I’m certain we are all hopeful for an improved economy and a prosperous nation.

Real Estate is a huge opportunity for investment prosperity as our economy continually shows signs of improving. Not only that, there are many choices for homes and land.  The hardest part is just picking which is your favorite! As Donald Trump said, “It’s tangible, it’s solid, it’s beautiful. It’s artistic, from my standpoint, and I just love real estate.” You’ll always be able to stand on it, touch it, enjoy it, and ultimately sell something that is real – not just a paper investment.

Real Estate is a low cost opportunity right now as interest rates are continually dropping. You should be certain to contact one of our many local lenders to find the opportunities in place right now. Feel free to visit our “Gotta Guy” list to find several local lenders (that’s our local recommended contractor list). Cost of ownership is extraordinarily low with very favorable county tax rates. For example, current rates for a home assessed at $200,000 will be in the neighborhood of $800 for the year. Homeowner’s insurance runs in the same neighborhood as well. If you purchase land, you shouldn’t need to pay insurance for it since your current homeowner’s policy should protect you for most things under personal liability coverage (be sure to check your own policy to see what specific coverage is offered).

There are many different types of real estate investments in Murphy NC available suitable to practically every budget. We have land opportunities as low as $10,000 and with sizes ranging from lots to parcels with thousands of acres. Looking for a home you can enjoy now or don’t want to build? We have brand new cabins and homes in the low 100’s, and from there, the sky is the limit. You can also search the Murphy NC MLS for free.

The investment standpoint is always a good way to look at it, and with a degree in financial planning, I tend to look that way first. Truth is, that’s only a very small portion owning a property in the mountains. Waking up with a warm cup of coffee overlooking a stunning mountain view is something you cannot even begin to put a price on. Living on a cool mountain river watching trout swim around catching flies is something that simply can’t be replaced. Sitting on a soft leather couch in the evening watching the sunset on the Appalachian Mountains right beside a crackling fireplace is of no comparison.

Now is the time to move from dreaming and to start planning. Come to Murphy! There are many great cabin rental companies and hotels to choose from so you can come and truly enjoy yourself. Curious about the area and want more information about weather, what to do, and more? Contact us and we’ll send you our FREE Murphy NC Information Packet; it’s filled with tons of information about the weather and climate in Murphy NC, things to do, and much more! And until you get here, keep dreaming of mountain views, comfortable weather with four seasons, and great people!

How close is the closest town (shopping, supermarket, drug store, etc?). 10 minutes or so to Turtletown, Tennessee and about 20-25 minutes from Murphy.

Chalets Are Popular in Murphy NC Real Estate. What exactly is a Chalet?

Posted by I Love Murphy on

Chalets are a very popular style of homes in Murphy, NC real estate. They are the perfect styled home for capturing our renowned long range mountain views or just overlooking your estate in the woods.

According to Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary, a chalet is, “a Swiss dwelling with unconcealed structural members and a wide overhang at the front and sides.” According to Wikipedia, a chalet was originally referred to the hut of a herder. Well, things have certainly come a long way from the days of the herder to today’s first-class version.

Chalet HomeThere are several characteristics that make a chalet a chalet in Murphy:

  • Large Fixed Pane Glass Windows in the Front
  • Vaulted Ceilings
  • Open Floor Plan with the living room/great room in the front
  • A Large Loft, commonly where the master bedroom is
  • Steep Pitched roof in the front with “bump outs” over the loft with a far less pitched roof in that section
  • Covered porches on either side
  • and you’ve really got to have a fireplace 

Builders today are constantly adding their own unique twist and making each one just a little bit different. Truth is, a classic is simply a classic. Just like every home in any market, you can upgrade a chalet till you heart is content. It offers a lot of flexibility, so its a lot of fun to make it your own home.

If you are considering buying or building a chalet, here are a few considerations you should take into account:

  • Chalets with a basement (finished or unfinished) sell much better and provide you with much more usable space. Walk-out basements are common.
  • Be sure to plumb your basement and go ahead and upgrade your heat pump to handle the basement should you or someone else decide to finish it.
  • Privacy is key in the loft. If you’ll be by yourself a lot, don’t worry about this part. If you entertain a lot and your master bedroom is in the loft, you won’t have any privacy.  If you want your own privacy, upgrade a bit and get a larger chalet with a blocked off loft.
  • Dual masters with a suite in the loft and a suite on the main level is a major plus.
  • Make sure your great room is large enough. I’ve seen small great rooms devastate the sale of a home. When it doubt, add a bit of room.
