When you’re choosing a real estate team, you’re not just picking a sign in the yard. You’re deciding who you trust with one of your biggest assets: your home, land, or investment property.
I
n Cherokee County, North Carolina, more buyers and sellers trusted The Poltrock Team at RE/MAX Mountain Properties than any other realtors in 2025, and it wasn’t close.
This article breaks down the exact numbers and what they mean for you if you’re considering selling or buying in Murphy NC, Andrews NC, Brasstown, Peachtree, and surrounding Cherokee County communities.
The headline: We led Cherokee County by a wide margin
Using the Mountain Lakes Board of REALTORS MLS “Market Share By Agent/Rank with Teams” report (2025), Cherokee County, residential property types only, here’s what stands out:
Cherokee County 2025: Residential sides (opportunities) served
-
The Poltrock Team: 154 total sides
-
Next closest Realtors: 54 total sides
-
Difference: 100 more sides than the next closest competitor
Put another way, we did 2.85 times the business of the next closest team. That’s 185% more.
Market share that’s easy to understand
Percentages can be more helpful than raw numbers, because they show how often a team is chosen in the real world.
-
The Poltrock Team market share (Cherokee County, residential): 15.62%
-
Next closest team: 6.02%
That means about 1 out of every 6.4 residential home sale sides in Cherokee County involved the Poltrock Team in 2025.
And we didn’t just lead. We led by a gap of 9.6 percentage points in market share.
What “154 sides” really means (and why it matters)
This report tracks residential activity in three ways:
-
Listed: 87
-
Sold (buyer side): 34
-
Listed and sold (both sides): 33
-
Grand total: 154
Translation: Cherokee County homeowners trusted us to list, buyers trusted us to buy, and in many cases we successfully brought both sides together to get deals to the finish line.
If you’re a seller, that matters because it speaks to two things:
-
Exposure and reach (more buyers are already in our pipeline)
-
Execution (more transactions means more reps, more negotiation experience, and better systems)
Volume matters too: nearly $50M in residential real estate
Transactions tell one part of the story. Total dollars tell another.
-
Poltrock Team total volume: $49,784,415
-
Next closest team volume: $19,178,022
-
Difference: $30,606,393 more in residential volume
That’s roughly 160% more volume than the next closest team.
What this means for sellers in Cherokee County
If you’re selling a home in Murphy or Andrews, you want three things:
-
A pricing plan that attracts real buyers
-
Marketing that reaches beyond the local bubble
-
A team that knows how to get from listing to closing without drama
Market leadership matters because it usually follows the teams who:
-
consistently are chosen to sell property
-
consistently deliver results
-
consistently earn repeat business and referrals
Being chosen at this level means homeowners are voting with their feet, over and over again.
What this means for buyers moving to Murphy or Andrews
Buyers want a guide who can:
-
spot value
-
move quickly
-
protect them through inspections, repairs, and negotiation
-
help them avoid expensive mistakes
High market share typically means a team has the inventory knowledge, local relationships, connections, and negotiation reps that are hard to replicate.
