Be warned if you ever you this agent for listing or buying a home. We had him as our listing agent, and right off the bat we had problems with him returning calls, be available to respond say day to requests or handling paperwork. We had an offer on our house and were in the middle of negotiations, and he decided it was more important to attend a school field trip with his child then hold to his responsibilities as a real estate agent. We almost lost the deal. We had the house listed with him for 6 weeks and during that time, he left on mini vacations 3 times. He also couldn't bother himself to come over one night to explain the offer, because he was coaching a spring baseball team.
Now as a buyers agent, he never once ever sent us leads on homes, previewed any homes for us, set us up to get daily updates on new listings. It was all left up to me to search the MLS to find homes to look at, and then get pushed off to his assistant to show the homes. In the 3 months we worked with him, he personally showed us 3 houses! When we finally found a house to write an offer, he told us he couldn’t come over to write it and it would have to wait until Monday. We could have missed our opportunity. I sent him information on Short sales I had found, where agents were sharing information on how to handle Bof A short sales. He blew up on me on the phone, that I was insulting him for sending him that information. What a @#^%$& !!!
Needless to say we found another agent that was very responsive right from the start, previewed homes and even would show them as late at 10:pm!
Stay away from Gary Potts- you have been warned!
