About Gene

As a Southern California Real Estate Agent, I'm dedicated to helping buyers, sellers, and investors achieve their real estate goals with confidence and clarity. With more than 20 years of experience in Orange County and coastal SoCal, I’ve earned a reputation for results built on integrity, strategy, and a client-first approach. Ranked within the top 1.5% of real estate agents nationwide, I consistently help sellers achieve maximum value - often in far less time than industry averages. For buyers, I use negotiation expertise and deep local market knowledge to craft winning offers, whether you’re searching for a Huntington Beach ocean-view home, a family property in Orange County, or an investment opportunity across Southern California.

What truly sets me apart is my dual role as both a California Certified Residential Appraiser and Real Estate Agent. Since 2003, I’ve completed thousands of appraisals throughout SoCal. This valuation expertise gives my clients a powerful edge and ensuring sellers price strategically for maximum exposure, while buyers gain confidence in making competitive offers that close smoothly.

My career has even reached national television, where I was featured on HGTV’s House Hunters Renovation (Season 8) and House Hunters (Episode #19510), showcasing my client-focused and results-driven approach.

I also hold specialized certifications, including:

CFSP – Certified Full Service Professional

SRES® – Senior Real Estate Specialist

NCREA – National Commercial Real Estate Advisor

CREIPS – Certified Real Estate Investment Planning Specialist

Whether you’re buying your first home, selling a luxury property, or expanding your investment portfolio, I bring proven experience and insight to guide your success in the competitive Southern California market.

Let’s make your Orange County and SoCal real estate goals a reality.

I highly recommend Gene Smith for all your real estate needs. He diligently sent us listings that met all our parameters and recently represented in the purchase of our forever home. Gene guided us on every step of the journey. He was extremely responsive and answered our phone calls and questions without delay. Gene’s extensive appraisal background was extremely beneficial to the process. Gene also had a quality referral for each of our needs. We decided to purchase a fixer and we couldn’t be happier with the contractor Gene recommended. He is also assisting us with renting out our current property. It is obvious that Gene loves what he does and truly listens to his clients.

Gene is one of the best realtors I know. He understands the needs of the client & house he's working with. Gene listed my house after being contacted the day before, he took the time to visit my house. He's extremely prompt and caring. He knows what needs to be done to close the deal. What a Blessing, Thank you Gene!

Gene did an amazing job marketing our home and we were able to sell it quickly at a great price. He added little decorative touches to make the vacant home warm and inviting. He priced it correctly so it didn’t sit too long on the market, but it wasn’t under priced. I felt confident having him represent me to the buyers and prospective buyers because he is always professional and upbeat. I completely recommend him for your real estate needs!
