Bob and Patty Pound have a lot to say about their experience with Murphy NC real estate‘s “Poltrock Team“, and it sure is pretty!  As John and Jessica’s previous neighbors, the Pound’s choice was obvious to hire them to sell their home – being both their friend and trusting resource for the day to day real estate activities in the surrounding area, knowing John’s honesty was what really made their decision a simple one.

“John and Jessica Poltrock have a passion for helping people sell their properties.  They did everything they promised to do in order to sell our property quickly and efficiently – their ever-apparent knowledge of the current market and having a pulse for the day to day activies in selling real estate was like no other.  John always has a smile on his face and was there 24 hours, 7 days a week to help answer any questions that came up during the sale of our home“.

Bob went on to say, “John was positively upfront about the improvement we needed to make to sell our cabin.  John is a go-getter and will not stop until he gets the job done!  We wouldn’t hesitate to call upon The Poltrock Team again should we (or anyone we know) decide to purchase or sell another home in Murphy, NC.  I give them a 10+ for their effort and results.”

When we asked if there was anything we could improve on, the Pound’s simply said “just treat everyone like you treated us; I think it comes easy for John – he really enjoys people!”

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.

There 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.
