John and Donna Are Hard Exceptionally Hard Workers!

Posted by I Love Murphy on

We decided to work with the Poltrock Team because we met with John Poltrock years ago and worked with Donna Srabian in the past.  Donna is an exceptionally hard worker!  She was always available, and returned our calls promptly.  She went above and beyond to make sure she did as much as possible to help us buy our home in Murphy NC!  She also helped us understand the VA foreclosure process.

Donna went above and beyond.  She made herself available whenever necessary, stayed on top of things and kept us informed.  We couldn’t have done it without her!

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!

The Most Enjoyable & The Smoothest Selling Experience I’ve Had!

Posted by I Love Murphy on

I learned about The Poltrock Team through a mailing they sent to me, TP photo2and I decided to work with them because of their professionalism.  The Poltrock Team made this the most enjoyable and the smoothest house selling experience I’ve had (and I’m selling 7 homes!).  Because of GREAT communication and practical advice, I was able to get more money than I was asking and a QUICK closing!!

The most helpful thing John Poltrock did was recommend a great contractor to take care of some issues I had in my basement. He got someone for me and I didn’t have to worry about it any more!

John went above and beyond the call of duty to take care of EVERYTHING!

Although On The Other Side Of The Country, John Made It Seem He Was Right Next Door!

Posted by I Love Murphy on

We found out about The Poltrock team through the internet and decided to work with them after a telephone interview with John.  We cannot say enough to reflect what a positive experience John made our home-buying experience.  John’s knowledge, expertise, and ability to describe the market and relate to us our most promising options made everything seem so easy!  We would not improve one thing!! As out-of-state buyers, we counted on John 100%.  Not only did he not let us down, he surprised us with the ease he was able to do his job.

We did what everyone says NOT to do – we bought a home we had not seen, through a Realtor we’d only met through a phone call, in an area we had never been to, and found the perfect home!  We couldn’t be happier!  How do you do that?!?

Beginning with our telephone interview with John, we knew we were in good hands.  He honestly reflected the community, the opportunities in the current housing market and then led us to the perfect home.  Although on the other side of the country, John made it seem he was right next door.  Excellent communication, a smooth and easy transaction, and the perfect home – who could as for more?  Then, he not only provided us with his expertise, but brought along side us the quality people he does business with – our lending agent, inspector, handyman, etc – were all top-notch and wonderful!

Full service has a new meaning for us now!  Thank you again John, for making all of this not only possible for us, but one of the easiest of transactions we have ever done!

We cannot say enough about the level of service The Poltrock Team provides!!

Quick And Easy Transaction Buying Land in Murphy NC!

The Poltrock Team Is Honest And Efficient

Posted by I Love Murphy on

I found out about The Poltrock Team at REMAX in Murphy NC from the road-side signs and decided to work with them because of the RE/MAX name. I saw their signs everywhere!

The Poltrock Team is effective, honest and efficient!  My experience was GREAT!  The most helpful thing that The Poltrock Team offered me was listening to our needs and helping to sell out property quickly!  I would ABSOLUTELY work with The Poltrock Team again.

Murphy NC Real Estate Market 2013 SOLD Update and Market Statistics

Posted by I Love Murphy on

It’s official! I have completed the Murphy NC Real Estate Market Statistics for 2013, we have some great information to share with you! The market showing signs of healing and there’s good news abroad. We send out our SOLD Real Estate Update every 3 months, so be sure to join our update for this information, exclusive market research, and all the SOLD real estate for that quarter – including pictures, prices, and more!

REMAX Number 1 LogoRecent Murphy Area Statistics courtesy of Phyllis Blackmon of the Cherokee County NC Chamber of Commerce:

•$35.3 Million were spent in Cherokee County by tourists in 2013. That’s up 4.2% from 2012.

•Those dollars are directly responsible for approximately 290 jobs.

•Where did they come from? Great question! Based on Chamber of Commerce records:

•37% are from FL

•13% come from GA

•7% come from NC (outside of Cherokee County)

•3% from AL

•2% from foreign countries

•October is the most recent published unemployment numbers and it is down to 9.5%. That is down substantially from a high of more than 16%.

In the real estate world, 2013 provided the best market we’ve seen since the “boom.” 449 homes sold in 2013, which is 30.9% more than 2012, 53.2% more than 2011, and 61.5% more than 2010. That is huge improvements! You’ll see the figures and sales in the attached chart which includes monthly sales and a chart so you can see activity by each month. It’s a great way to notice trends of which months are busiest. Bear in mind the activity reflects contracts from 30 days earlier. So a closing in March most likely originated from February and so on.

You’ll also notice little change in the average price of houses that are selling. This chart indicates the price point of the average buyer is purchasing at. Even though this number continues to stay at the same levels, we’ve noticed substantially more home sales in most every price point of the market place, including the $200,000+ range. That particular segment of the market struggled for several years to have sales of any volume and we have seen more than in any year since about 2008/09. That’s great! And one question that always still looms is regarding foreclosures. There are still foreclosures in the marketplace, and they currently make up only 17.7% of house sales. The rest are traditional folks selling their property.

CLICK HERE to Subscribe to Our Quarterly SOLD Update! When you’re a subscriber, here’s where you would see ALL the houses that sold.

Land sales continue to remain on par with what they have for a number of years now. Each quarter average between 9-14 sales per month while inventory remains high approaching 800 parcels available for sale. Even at that, inventory has reduced substantially from a high of 2,701 parcels in Q3 of 2008. As time moves on, this market will rebound especially as house prices recover/rise or if available inventory isn’t desired and building becomes even more attractive.

Status of RE/MAX Mountain Properties and The Poltrock Team

•The Poltrock Team sold 91 transactions in 2013, 71 in 2012, 64 in 2011, and 59 in 2010. That’s impressive considering the average Realtor closes only 12.
