Gene Guernsey is not just a RE/MAX Top Producer; he truly feels that giving back to his community is an important part of who he is. Guernsey’s parents instilled in him a commitment to Corpus Christi, the community he was born and raised in. He has proven this commitment by continuously staying involved in the Corpus Christi Community both politically and civically. He maintains a strong political involvement in the city government through his involvement in political action committees and campaigns for pro-growth economic initiatives in the Coastal Bend and surrounding areas.

Corpus Christi hold's a special place in Gene's heart, and by living here and raising a family here, he is able to fully experience the positive effects of his community involvement. Gene feels he is truly blessed in his successes, but does not hesitate to attribute these successes to hard work and giving back.
