Robert A. Miranda Managing Director at Miranda Investment Partners

As a doctor of psychology and a current leader at Deloitte consulting, I’m often looking for inspirational mentors that will take me to the next level. Jeff is one such mentor. He has given me valuable insight, direction, connections, and insider tips in the alternative investment and real estate world. Beyond all that, he’s a good and trustworthy man with integrity and wisdom for those that seek most earnestly. I’m thankful for his help on my journey to make a meaningful impact in the world.

David T. Miller Senior Manager at Deloitte Consulting

I have been in a Mastermind with Jeffery for the past two years and have gotten to know Jeffery very well. There isn't a more caring gentleman that I know, that is willing to share all of the information he has learned throughout his super successful career in commercial real estate investing. He would not call himself a mentor to me, but I take it as that, and when he talks I am all ears. I have found out over knowing him the past 2 years that I'm sure he's forgotten more about CRE investing and development than most seasoned professionals know and yet he is so humble about it. I look forward to knowing Jeffery Potter for many years to come and growing our friendship even more

I have Known Jeffrey for almost 15 years. I do not think I can overstate his qualifications and true understanding with regards to Commercial Real Estate markets – particularly with the Investment, Development and Construction process. His management skills are superior and very detailed. He interacts flawlessly with Investors, Brokers, Architects and Contractors alike – he has a very friendly, yet concise, demeanor that I have found to be exceptional in communicating with all levels of people he interacts with. One of his greatest strength is the ability to take a project, from a conceptual beginning, and follow it all the way through completion – fully understanding each step along the way… this, of course, cannot be achieved without the descriptive adjectives of Honorable, Dependable, Ethics, hard working, etc. etc. Jeffrey is a compelling person of superior qualities and certainly would be a person of serious consideration for any position for a project hoping to move forward with great success.

Jeff started a conversation with me because I was wearing my USC NROTC Trojan Battalion shirt and as he is a Trojan Alumni and supporter of the U.S. military, wanted to establish a relationship. That conversation turned out to be a growing experience for me, as Jeff mentored me through the military transition process. In addition to the great, common-sense advice that he provided me, he offered to help out one of the Sailors that worked for me who was also transitioning and trying to break into the real estate business. Jeff has a brilliant business mind and the humility to actively seek opportunities to help out our military. I appreciate his service and support.

Jeff has been a great mentor to me. We met socially and have stayed in touch because he's so knowledgeable and willing to help. He is a great listener and doesn't try to direct me toward any one path but makes an effort to understand what is important to me. His deep understanding of the real estate industry has been very helpful as I navigate a career in commercial development and I'm grateful for his openness and desire to help.
