GET TO KNOW STEVEN

Steven Potts is a seasoned REALTOR® and marketing expert with over 15 years of industry expertise. 

Steven is a well-known, trusted local realtor serving Walnut Creek, Pleasant Hill, Lamorinda, Alamo neighborhoods, and other surrounding Contra Costa and Alameda communities. He specializes in assisting experienced homeowners and investors and guiding first-time homebuyers.

He possesses a remarkable background in real estate, finance, and construction. As a former real estate advisor and leader at top international consultancies, he has provided invaluable guidance to major tech and financial firms—including Goldman Sachs, Time Warner, Google, and Amazon—on projects exceeding $3 billion.

Steven is passionate about staying updated on industry trends and using innovative marketing strategies to maximize property exposure and sales.

ROOTED IN HERITAGE BUILT ON HOME

I grew up in a small town in Ireland, where my father spent three years building our family home brick by brick. After long days at his job, he’d come home, light a lamp, and carefully lay each brick with patience and pride. Watching him as a young boy, I learned that a home is never just a structure—it’s the foundation for family, for dreams, and a haven for life’s most meaningful moments.

That belief has remained with me ever since. It shapes not only how I view my work in real estate, and my interactions with individuals on homeownership journeys, but also how I serve every client: with care, precision, and a deep respect for what “home” truly means.

MY CLIENT COMMITMENT

Every client has a one-of-a-kind story and every property is a key chapter in that story. My mission is to ensure that your real estate journey is not only successful, but also meaningful and enjoyable.

I measure success not by the number of homes sold, but by the trust I earn and the relationships I build. Many of my clients become lifelong friends, and the referrals from families I’ve worked with remain the greatest compliment to my work.

Whether you’re buying your first home, selling a beloved property, or building your investment portfolio, I’ll bring experience, insight, and genuine care to help you move forward with confidence.

BEYOND REAL ESTATE

Outside of real estate, I’ve always been driven by endurance and exploration. As a former competitive trail runner who represented Ireland internationally, I carry that same discipline and perseverance into my work today.

Now, I channel that energy into cycling, hiking, and enjoying the outdoors across the Bay Area. Most importantly, life here in Walnut Creek is anchored by my wife Marissa and our daughter Sasha. Together, we love exploring local restaurants, participating in community events, at our local church, and making annual trips back to Ireland to reconnect with family and roots.
