First Class Service

John Poltrock and his team at ReMax in Murphy, NC were a pleasure to work with from start to finish. They kept us constantly informed on their efforts to sell our vacation house. Within only three months after listing with John, we signed a contract to sell.

After signing the contract, there were several things that needed to be done to the house to meet the seller’s requirements. Because we live hundreds of miles away, this could have been difficult for us. However, The Poltrock Team completely relieved us of that burden. Whatever needed to be done – they did, cheerfully and efficiently.

Here is the best example of that. After we closed on the sale in Murphy, we were driving back to our home in Florida. While underway, we called Dish Network to discontinue our service. We found out that we were required to box up the TV receiver and other components, and ship them back to Dish.

However, we were well away from Murphy, and the new owners were already moving in. It could have posed a serious dilemma for us, but it was no problem for John. We called John, and informed him of the situation. Remember, we had already closed on the house, and John’s formal responsibilities could have ended there.

But John is not that kind of person. He quickly said “Have them (Dish) send the return box to me, and I will box things up and send them back.” Another problem solved quickly, cheerfully, and efficiently.

From proactive updates to going the extra mile after closing, John Poltrock gave us first class service. Trust murphy nc realtors who treat you like family, not just a sale.

Thank you, John, and your staff!

Everyone was waving at me in your truck!

One of the best and most overlooked assets to Murphy, North Carolina is the people who live here. After having lived here for almost 10 years, they become the “norm.” It is easy to get used to them as the status quo and to forget how truly wonderful and unique every person is.

My parents came up for a week just recently and there were several occasions where my dad drove my personal truck. One day, he told me, “I’ve been waved at by more people on the way over here than I think I know in my hometown!” That statement alone made me realize just how much of a blessing it is to know all the people I do and to have as many friends and family as I’ve come to know right here in Murphy, NC.

One thing I can assure you about Murphy is that you get both the small town feel and the wonderful people. If you decide to move here or come here for a little R&R, you will find you will meet all of these wonderful people who are your neighbors, your folks from church, the clerk at the grocery store or at Wal-Mart, and just about anyone else you bump in to downtown will instantly be friendly and potentially become a friend.

So go ahead, search for that dream home, rent a vacation home, or just come and camp so you may enjoy the great atmosphere I have come to know, love, and even get so used to that it seems like the entire world is this way. Although the entire world is far from being like Murphy, here you know you have a great safe haven where you can always expect folks to wave at you as you drive down the road.

Whether you’re riding through town in your truck or settling into a new home, come experience the heart of Murphy—connect with Murphy NC Real Estate and let The Poltrock Team welcome you home.

New Change in 1031 Tax Information Makes It Better for you Vacation or Second Home!

1031’s have long been a real estate investor’s friend. For those of you who are unfamiliar with them, it is a section of the IRS tax code that allows a person to sell an investment property and purchase another – tax free.

1031’s of course are simple in theory but have a few stipulations by the IRS. If you are considering buying a mountain property and want to do a 1031, we would be happy to guide you through the process.

Here’s the basics behind the new rule: a person who owns a vacation or second home for at least 24 months, uses it for 14 or less days a year, or less than 10% of the time it was rented in any of those years, can qualify that dwelling unit for a tax-deferred Exchange. You don’t have to rent it out for an extended length of time, it could be rented for just 14 days a year and still can qualify.

Need help navigating your 1031 tax exchange? The Poltrock Team is here for you—and while you’re planning, check out things to do in Murphy NC to make the most of your investment visit!
