The Poltrock Team Sold my Murphy NC House in Record Time – 20 days!

Posted by I Love Murphy on October 11, 2011

Jo Ann Hunt after her Murphy NC Real Estate Closing — Jo Ann Celebrates after her house in Murphy NC has Just Closed

I was recommended to John by a local real estate agent, and even though I had not worked with REMAX before, they came highly recommended. The Poltrock Team at REMAX in Murphy NC was wonderful.

John is a pleasure to work with – professional, efficient, ethical, and last but not least, friendly. He keeps you informed by phone and email so you’re never left wondering, “what’s going on???” Not only that, my house was under contract in about 20 days and SOLD and closed in about 50 days! It was a great transaction and they even found a cash buyer! It couldn’t have been better!

I have even referred John to a friend of mine on the mountain and will continue to recommend him! Thanks John for a job well done!

Want a success story like Jo Ann’s? Partner with the trusted Poltrock Team at Murphy NC Real Estate and let us help you close with confidence.

He’s friendly, goes out of his way for you, and is kind and patient. Simply put, he makes the deal so much better! When you are an older person, like I am, all of his help was appreciated – especially the phone calls keeping me up on what was going on.

He’s a wonderful person and really knows his business. I don’t think anyone looking to sell real estate in Murphy NC should use any other Realtor!

Flat Rate and Fee MLS Real Estate Listings in Murphy NC

Posted by I Love Murphy on June 19, 2011

In the height of the real estate market, there were several flat rate and fee MLS listing companies that arose when you could slap a yard sign up on a house and it sell practically instantly. After all, who needed a Realtor? Real estate practically sold itself!

Times have changed and you can tell just by turning on the news that the real estate market has changed and shifted drastically. Often it leaves the average seller and spectator in the dark as to what’s happened. What’s my property worth? How long is it going to take to sell it? What advertising do I need to do to get my home or land sold? These are common questions that may go through your mind – along with countless others.

Flat rate and fee MLS services aren’t available in Murphy NC largely. Even if they were, they’re dangerous no matter where you are selling a home. Why? It’s easy to look strictly on the up front financial side of the net sheet and say you save yourself thousands of dollars by skipping on a Full Service Realtor. However, consider these thoughts:

Advertising sells homes. You’ll never find a buyer, especially with remote locations in the mountains of Murphy NC, if folks don’t know your home is available for sale. With flat rate services, they don’t offer advertising other than the MLS. That’s only a very small portion of the equation. Expansive advertising, reputation, and a marketing plan with follow up is key. Also consider, do you have the time to put it in all the advertising venues your house deserves?
Leads come from advertising. Leads are prospects who inquire about your home. Without advertising, you don’t get leads. Even in the off chance on comes from the MLS presence, who’s going to follow up on them? Without someone to return calls, show the home, answer questions, and close the purchase, you’ll never stand a chance of getting it done. A flat rate broker can’t do this.
I shouldn’t have paid the up front fee!!
Legalities. Do you know what can protect you from getting sued by your prospective buyer? There are a lot of legal ramifications that can come back to haunt you if you don’t dot your I’s and cross your T’s. Do you know which ones to do? This is a huge implication and saving few bucks for a tens-of-thousands liability isn’t worth the gamble.
Negotiations. Negotiations is a HUGE part of a real estate transaction. In fact, it’s probably one of the largest parts of it. Once a buyer is ready to purchase your home, let the negotiations begin! Price is always ones of the first items – the buyer wants the cheapest price and the seller wants the most money. It’s an age old story yet you want to make sure that it works out the best for you it can. Then, there are repair negotiations after the home inspection that can often destroy a transaction if not properly handled. It’s imperative to have experience, training, and a true advocate for your position. Otherwise, you’re liable to “give away the farm” when you don’t have to. How much would that cost you?
Lender Negotiations. With many homeowners owing more on their home than it is worth in today’s marketplace, we often have to negotiate with lenders to find a way to get the home sold. This takes a high level of training and experience. Would you want to try to tackle a mortgage company or bank on your own?
Pricing. Pricing a home is one of the most key elements to getting it sold. We all have preconceptions of what our home is worth, and understandably so! You’ve worked hard on it, perhaps raised a family in it, and it simply becomes a part of you. Mispricing a home happens a LOT and it’s important to make sure you “hit the nail on the head.” How many homes have you sold? What comparable sales did you use? Those are important and you won’t get any guidance from a flat fee broker – they don’t care if it sells or not because you just paid their full fee upfront. Hire someone who can guide you and show you a logical pricing strategy.
Performance Based. As I mentioned above, a flat rate MLS system doesn’t care if you sell because they just made their fee… upfront. In my book, you just paid too much because they have no vested interest in you OR your home! A traditional Realtor has a vested interest in your home… just like you do. They have time and money in advertising, showing, enhancing, and doing all the things they do for you. Regardless of whether they charge 5% or 20%, you don’t pay them a dime till they’re successful! Now that’s how you get your real estate agent’s interests in line with yours… and certainly not through an upfront fee.
Scams – some of these internet MLS sites I researched are straight money stealing schemes. They charge usually $500+ and it doesn’t go anywhere but their website. Some even claimed “MLS Exposure.” Their site has little traffic and it doesn’t go to the MLS that is used in the area of your property. If that’s not a ripoff, I don’t know what is.
Time. Do you have the ability when a buyer prospect calls to drop what you’re doing and go show the house? In today’s world, jobs, children, distance from the property, and more can make it REALLY hard to this!

So don’t come out of your real estate sale looking like the broken piggy bank! Hire a professional, full time Realtor with your best interests in mind. Call The Poltrock Team in Murphy NC today and find out the difference! 🙂

David and Maudeen Ellis Bought and Sold Land and a Home with REMAX and The Poltrock Team in Murphy NC

Posted by I Love Murphy on May 3, 2011

David and Maudeen at Real Estate Closing in Murphy NC — The Poltrock Team Sold our House – For FULL PRICE!!

I was looking into buying a piece of property. A local real estate agent here in Murphy NC told me about a parcel and how to get to it. He did not offer to show it or any other property to me. I called REMAX since they were the listing real estate company to find out the price and get more information. A young man named John Poltrock offered to meet me at the lot and show it to me.

Because of this helpfulness, I was able to find an even better lot to my liking! I appreciated his help and knowledge in making the purchase. When we put our home up for sale, we knew only one agent we would call to sell it for us. And now, it’s SOLD! We’re getting ready to build our new home on the land we bought and are really excited about it!

Brenton and Hannah Hardin Buy a Foreclosure Home in Murphy NC with The Poltrock Team at REMAX

Posted by I Love Murphy on April 13, 2011

We’ve known John and Jessica Poltrock for many years now. When we first started looking at homes, we were contacting the listing agent of the home just to find out more information about it. In doing that, we got stuck working with a real estate agent we didn’t like. It didn’t end up going anywhere (thankfully!) and we called John and Jessica because they were friends and gave a GREAT!! reputation. Our experience after our call to them was night and day different.

The Poltrock Team stood by us through thick and thin and in all the things we faced in buying our house. After looking at many homes, the one we bought was a foreclosure home. We were on an emotional roller coaster many times, and even through that, they were always very helpful, handy, prompt, and proficient. They gave us all the time, care, concern, and encouragement we needed. I would NOT use any other Realtors than John and Jessica Poltrock and REMAX! I honestly cannot put into words how wonderful our experience was. We look forward to getting our house listed and sold soon so we can move to our new home!

Looking to buy or sell a foreclosure in Murphy NC? Let The Poltrock Team walk you through it—start today at murphy nc real estate.

Thank you John and Jessica!

Rick and Patty Lee Buy Their Murphy NC Home and Had a Great Experience

Posted by I Love Murphy on October 20, 2010

As our time to search for a Murphy area home was very limited, we needed a real estate agent who would show us exactly what we were looking for, and spend as much time with us as necessary to get the job done.

Although we were shown homes by several other Realtors in the area, none compared with the dedication of John Poltrock. We were very fortunate to secure the services of John and his entire RE/MAX Team.

Subsequent to closing, John continues to provide valuable assistance in regards to various community resources, communicating with the previous owner to get us answer about specifics in our “New” home and, in general, just being a good friend.

Thanks to John, Jessica, and the entire RE/MAX Team for making this such a pleasurable experience , and making us feel welcome in the Murphy NC community.

Want a smooth, guided experience like we had buying our Murphy NC home? Let us help you too. Contact us for murphy nc real estate.
