Real Estate. Real People. Country Club Properties

Issue: April - 2022

Linda Thompson

The Potts family has been in Highlands since the town was founded in 1885. Why is that important to real estate buyers?   

Because the Potts family has been a leader in real estate sales for a very long time. Associates in the Potts agency, Country Club Properties, know every square inch of the area, its provenance, and its value. When Owner Terry Potts adds new agents, he makes darn sure he picks the very best. 

Welcome three new members to their award-winning realty team: Danny Gato, Linda Thompson, and Mary Jane McCall.

Danny and his family lived in Miami when he was young. The overcrowding became unbearable, so they found a respite in Highlands (yes, they bought it through CCP) which they visited every available minute. Danny, smart, ambitious, outgoing (his mom, Claudia is his best fan) was so taken by the natural beauty, that a couple of years ago, ingratiating himself to everyone, particularly Terry Potts, he got his RE license and a job with Country Club Properties. 

Of Honduran and Cuban heritage, Danny is a bilingual boon to the agency. Plus, he’s a fabulous cook. He looks forward to making this his forever home, a wife and children on his horizon. This hard-working young man took a client all the way to Murphy (two hours away) to see a house. So if you’re looking for a go-the-extra-mile (literally), personable, self-starter agent, Danny is your man. Contact info:  [email protected]; cell (352) 284-0301; gatorealty.com.

Every season for the past 25 years, Linda Thompson and her family have been part of the Highlands community. 

She says, “We have done numerous transactions with Country Club Properties over the years and are homeowners, as well. Building relationships, servicing others, and always keeping commitments – working to help clients buy or sell a home, is one of my greatest joys.” 

Linda’s a powerhouse of talent and experience. Let her connect you with your dream.  You can reach her at (770) 313-5446 and [email protected].

Mary Jane and Country Club Properties are a natural fit. As a Highlands native, her roots run deep. She knows every peak, valley, and switchback on the Plateau and all the people who call those places home. If you’re not her friend, you just haven’t met her yet. 

Real Estate agent is one of many hats she wears. You may also know her as a talented Laurel writer who enjoys sharing stories of our regional people, businesses, and natural beauty. When she’s not showing homes and writing articles, she’s imparting town history as docent for the Highlands Historical Society. 

She says, “I worked in the insurance industry for many years, which proved invaluable in learning that superior customer service is the key to success in any business. Now more than ever we all need a restorative getaway. Helping people find their little slice of heaven and their best life is deeply rewarding.” You can reach Mary Jane at [email protected].
