Whether you are new to South Florida or a current property owner looking for your next investment property, or perhaps expanding your family home in this amazing place, Debbie Potts is dedicated to helping you find the perfect space and location tailored to your goals. Born in California by an American father and a South American mother, Debbie Potts Velez-Otero had the great fortune of being influenced by two cultures within her household, as well as spending substantial time in both continental hemispheres. With a degree in International Business from Florida International University, Debbie has lived in South America, Central America, the Caribbean, and Hong Kong. Seeing the dawn of the tech boom occurring in her native Northern California, she made the move in the late 90's to Silicon Valley to join a start up which would become the largest online source for technical labor and project management in the World. This unique corporate experience taught her the importance of due diligence, superior analytical skills, flawless execution and simple raw hard work - all while having fun in the process and never losing her cool under pressure. Debbie was later able to transfer her experience when presented with an opportunity for business investment through a 25 percent stake and seat on the Board of a medium sized fashion house headquartered in South America. This multi-year chapter of her life gave her insight into the detailed process of designing, producing and marketing the product line through print, distributers and VIP clientele. Upon selling her stake in the company, Debbie chose to return to South Florida to raise her daughters and after careful analysis, chose the lucrative real estate industry as a career befitting her business and marketing acumen. "I knew fresh out of College in the late 90's this was a city with a lot of potential and need for growth and now here we are seeing that budding demand of yesterday come into fruition. I have always considered this area to be the French Riviera of the United States and owning a part of that has and will continue to be a tremendous benefit today and for many many years to come. The recent development of the Miami skyline all the way up the coast-line as well its cultural-arts improvements are just the beginning of what this area has to offer. Whether it is business opportunities, culturally diverse entertainment or the gorgeous ocean access - from casual to elegant, from wonderful family enclaves to breath taking beaches, there is without a shred of doubt, something for everyone here" - Debbie Potts. Outside of the workplace, Debbie enjoys traveling and immersing herself in other cultures, going back to the San Francisco bay area to spend time with her extended family, skiing, working out and sharing with her daughters all the things she herself has come to appreciate in life.
Debbie was wonderful. She was very helpful. Professional and understanding

I originally listed with my long time friend Miguel Espinosa, but when he got sick he introduced Debbie Potts to me. I liked her enthusiasm but worried that it wouldn't be the same. Debbie picked up the ball in the middle of the game and we sold in 2 months. SHE IS EXCEPTIONAL!!!!!!! Available at all times and she is so considerate of my wishes. I couldn't have done it without her. What an amazing person!

Debbie assisted us with the sale of my in-laws' home. She excelled in all aspects of the sales process and made things easy for us. Debbie is an excellent communicator who is also polite, respectful, and responsible. Debbie's significant industry knowledge served us well, and we would gladly use her again should the opportunity arise. Thanks for everything Debbie!

Working with Debbie was an absolute pleasure. She is extremely knowledgeable, attentive, and guided us seamlessly through every step of the home-buying process. When we found the house we loved, Debbie’s expertise and advice made all the difference. We found ourselves in a bidding war, and our offer was accepted. We truly credit her guidance for helping us secure our new home. She was always available to answer questions, provide insight, and make sure we felt confident along the way. I HIGHLY recommend Debbie to anyone looking to buy or sell a home - you won’t be disappointed!

Debbie was fabulous to work with! She helped us to navigate a sale from out of town and always went above and beyond to help coordinate and manage vendors, moving logistics, and bumps in the road throughout the process. Debbie spent many times after-hours coordinating and helping with challenges on our behalf as we live a few hours out of town. Always willing to jump in and help, we would not have been able to coordinate the move and sale without her. She always explained the process and provided sound advice. We cannot recommend her enough!

Debbie was absolutely wonderful throughout the entire process, from house-hunting to closing. She worked tirelessly around my busy schedule and was always available to talk about (and educate on) the finer points of the close process. She is amicable, trustworthy, and caring. Could not have asked for a better buying experience!
