About Us

Gary Potts

Gary Potts started his real estate career in 1999. He was drawn to real estate because it allowed him to be an independent business owner and also never limited his potential for success. A little bit of background of Gary, he was born and raised in the Portland, Oregon area. Gary volunteered for the Marine Corp in 1985 where he served 4 years as a special forces Amphibious Reconnaissance Marine.

After being honorably discharged from the Marines, Gary earned his associates degree while attending Allen Hancock Community college in Santa Maria, California.

After studying and earning his bachelor degree in Political Science with minors in History and Sociology, Gary was an assistant football coach for Portland State University. After 5 years of coaching at the college level Gary made a great decision to change people's lives through real estate.

Gary strongly believes that everyone deserves a professional that can work to accomplish every client’s real estate goals. Gary always gives his client’s 100% of his experience and knowledge to negotiate the best deal for his clients.

Gary also has a foundation he created over 15 years ago called Gary Potts Crossroads Foundation.
