We learned about The Poltrock Team through their billboards and signs and decided to work with them again because they sold our first home here in Murphy NC.  John is very helpful and understanding of our needs and always had open conversations, explaining things clearly, and he answered all our questions.

The house sold before we could get a sign out in front!  John kept in constant touch throughout the sale, and even offered to find a reliable RE/MAX agent for us in Florida.  Within one week, we sold our home in North Carolina and bought a new home in Florida, all through RE/MAX!

Hands down, I Would Use The Poltrock Team Again!

Posted by I Love Murphy on

We found out about The Poltrock Team from a “local business advertisement card” TP photoand decided to work with them after seeing #1 Real Estate Team on card.

John made the experience of selling a deceased family member’s Murphy NC home absolutely painless.  He not only made good suggestions for making the house more marketable, but took care of engaging reliable contractors to do the work at very reasonable prices, and very quickly!  I am not a Murphy resident, so this was invaluable to me.  He stayed in touch with me and kept me informed.  Once the house was on the market, he actively engaged prospective buyers, and truly made it happen.  I had a check within 3 months!  Other realtors I’ve dealt with over the years get the house on the market and pretty much forget about it

I asked John on my initial meeting with him why Poltrock was #1…He told me he has 10 dedicated full-time realtors who are very motivated to move properties.  I truly know now why the Poltrock Team IS # 1! They aggressively work to sell your home!  Hands down, I would use them again and highly recommend this team to anyone needing a realtor!

Want an agent who actually sells your home? Trust The Poltrock Team—the leading realtors in murphy nc to get it done.

Harrah’s Cherokee Valley River Casino and Hotel in Murphy NC Update

Posted by I Love Murphy on

Cherokee Harrahs Casino Valley RiverAt the Mountain Lakes Board of Realtors Luncheon today, two representatives of Harrah’s, one of which was Lumpy Lambert, were kind enough to join us and provide an update on how the casino construction project is going here in Murphy, NC. They were able to provide some great updates I thought I would share with you:

  • They said it will take “at least 900 jobs” to run the casino with an estimated payroll of $32-39 million.
  • There will be approximately 50,000 square feet of gaming.
  • It will not have a restaurant initially. It will have a “Food Market” that will feature four food company choices and are planned as follows:
    • Nathan’s Famous
    • Panda Express
    • Starbucks
    • Earl of Sandwich
  • They have multiple phases in development. Phase 1 is what they are building now and each respective phase will build on the next. With 86 acres, there are many opportunities of what’s to come.

As progress continues to develop, you’ll hear it in many sources. They’re estimating and August 2015 opening. We will see more of what’s to come.

Want to live near the exciting new River Casino and Hotel? Let our expert murphy nc realtors help you find the perfect home today.

RE/MAX Hot Air Balloon Visits Murphy NC for Fourth of July Celebration at Konaheeta Park

Posted by I Love Murphy on

This Fourth of July, we were fortunate to have the RE/MAX Hot Air Balloon visit us in Murphy NC. The Fourth’s Celebration is always held at Konaheeta Park, and we simply could not have asked for a more pristine, perfect Fourth of July.

In the almost ten years I’ve worked with RE/MAX, it’s always exciting to see the Hot Air Balloon in real life. It’s a “logo” that truly turns heads, and I’m not different! It’s magnificent to watch it go from a giant tube sock to a 90,000 cubic foot icon.

One great thing was we charged $5 per person to ride the balloon and we were able to donate every penny of proceeds to two needy families here in Cherokee County. It’s a blessing to be able to help those who need it. And to all who rode the ballon, thank you for participating and helping someone who truly needs it. Happy Fourth! We hope to see you next year!

Whether you saw the Hot Air Balloon or missed the fun, our local realtors in murphy nc are always here to help you rise to new heights.

John Offered Some Very Good Referrals For A Surveyor & Builder for our Land Purchase in Murphy NC

Posted by I Love Murphy on

Tracy PortraitI was looking for a lot to build a mountain get-away.  I had viewed some lots online and took a ride up to Murphy NC to casually look at them.  One of the lots we looked at was not the greatest, but we decided to drive up to the top of Five Forks to check out the view.  When we got to the top, the view was simply stunning.  A Chevy Silverado backed up and the driver asked us a few questions.  By sheer luck, John Poltrock happened to be up there looking at a property to list.  He advised me of a lot available with the awesome view, and it happened to be at a very attractive price.

John offered some very good referrals for a surveyor and builder.  His Gotta Guy List was extremely helpful! After a few weeks contemplating the purchase, we made an offer.  John was very professional and responsive.  I will also note that while we were just looking, John was never pushy or rude.

In the end, I feel we bought a great lot at a great price!  We believe John is a great Realtor and would recommend him very highly!

Planning your own Land Purchase in Murphy NC? Let Murphy NC Real Estate and The Poltrock Team guide you to the perfect mountain view!

Here in Murphy, we have several Internet Service Providers (ISPs) available. One of the new kids on the block is a company called Sky Tek Communications.

Sky Tek BannerSky Tek Communications is based right here in Murphy, NC. They offer a direct line of sight, or point to point, form of high-speed Internet. It utilizes fiber-optic service from Blue Ridge Electric Membership Corporation (BREMC). The beauty of their service is you do not need to have access directly to their fiber-optic lines. If you have line of sight, or are close to the line of sight for their service, you can have fiber-optic Internet speeds.

Several of our clients and customers have chosen to use their service. They all have had excellent results if it is available to them! Not only that, their customer service is right here in Murphy, so you do not have to speak to a call center thousands of miles away. You’re speaking with local folks! 🙂

If you are in need of Internet, I highly encourage you to try their service prior to using a slower speed. They offer connection speeds of 6 MB per second download and 3 MB per second upload. They even offer higher speeds if you need them. For only $39.99 a month, this is a great package I wish I had available at my home! Their contact information is below and enjoy your high speed Internet 🙂
