John Poltrock and Team Take Home Readers Choice Awards – Again!

Thank You, Cherokee County – From The Poltrock Team!

We are absolutely overjoyed to share that The Poltrock Team has been voted Best Real Estate Office in the Cherokee Scout Readers’ Choice Awards for the 3rd time! In addition, our Team leader John Poltrock was named Best Real Estate Agent for the 11th time!

To say we’re grateful is an understatement. These awards are determined by YOU, our friends, neighbors, and everyone else in-between. Every vote represents someone we’ve had the privilege to work with, or someone who believes in the work we do. From the bottom of our hearts: Thank You!

A Reflection of Community Support

Achieving these awards isn’t just a recognition of what happens within our office walls, it’s a celebration of the relationships we’ve built over the years. Real estate in a mountain community like Cherokee County isn’t only about buying and selling homes. It’s about helping people take the next step in their lives, whether that’s a young couple buying their first home, a retiree finding their dream cabin in the woods, or a family selling the place where they’ve made decades of memories. We take pride in being part of those moments, and these awards remind us how meaningful that connection truly is.

The People Behind The Poltrock Team

Our Team’s success starts with the people who show up every day. With six dedicated in-house Buyer’s Agents, The Poltrock Team is structured to ensure that every client receives personalized attention from someone who truly knows our area. Each agent brings their own strengths, but all share a commitment to honesty and service.

Behind the scenes, we have another six talented staff members who are the heart of our operation. From coordinating listings and closings, to managing marketing materials and client communication, they make sure every detail is handled smoothly. Their work often goes unseen, but it’s essential to ensuring our clients have a stress-free experience from start to finish.

Leadership and Experience You Can Count On

At the head of our Team is John Poltrock, our lead Listing Agent and an experienced local REALTOR® with over 20 years in the field. John combines technological expertise, market knowledge, and genuine southern hospitality to help clients make confident real estate decisions. With a degree in Financial Planning, he brings an analytical edge that allows him to interpret market data and provide straightforward, honest advice about pricing, value, and timing. John’s focus has always been simple: serve clients well, and work hard. His 11th win as “Best Real Estate Agent” isn’t just a reflection of his individual effort, it’s a reflection of the trust our community continues to place in him and our entire Team.

The Poltrock Team Is a Great Team

I became acquainted with The Poltrock Team because they sold my daughter’s house. Because they sell a lot of homes, I decided to work with them. During my real estate transaction, The Poltrock Team was most helpful in providing me with a book about my house. Looking back on my real estate experience, The Poltrock Team is a great team, and they sold my house in less than three months. I would give them a “10” for their service, and would absolutely work with them again.

The Poltrock Team Produced Great Results

Being proactive is more than taking initiative. John Poltrock took responsibility for selling our home. Our choices became based on his professional principles and values rather than our preconceived notions of property sales. John had a clear purpose in mind, and he identified his commitment to us, and that matters! John was organized in his execution, and selling our home became his priority. It was a driving force surrounding his team, and he had no other agenda other than our concerns. John constantly communicated with us, seized opportunities, and worked through difficulties. The Poltrock Team produced great results.

For a results-driven experience rooted in trust, let Murphy Company Realtors help guide your next move.
