About Us

Our Company

We have been in business for over 25 years, servicing our friends in the Greater Los Angeles Area. Here's to the next 25!

We are a very unique brokerage. We took the classic take on a real estate brokerage and turned it on its head. Why can a realtor not also originate a loan, quote an insurance policy, confidently give financial advise, and even repair credit? At Ge-Ke, we expect only the best out of our agents. We view each of our customers as a lifetime relationship, and we pride ourselves on continuing our service long after you close the real estate transaction. Our agents are always reachable, day or night, and customer service is our absolute highest priority.

Our consultations are always free and we never charge up front fees. We do not get paid unless you are happy.

Meet the Team

George Burga

George is our founder, president and CEO. In fact, the company name comes from his two sons, George and Kevin. George started out as a chemical engineer, graduating from the University of Peru in Lima. Through a series of amazing personal events, (seriously, he has a very inspiring "against all odds" story) he found himself among the top producing agents for a number of life insurance agencies. With a vast bank of knowledge, and personal experience with every kind of customer imaginable, George has developed a reputation as "the guy who can make it happen." Fully licensed in real estate, mortgages, taxes, life and health insurance, and securities series 6, 63, and 26, there is nothing that has to do with the world of finance that George cannot help you with.

Christian is our Head of Day-to-Day Operations and VP of Sales, Production, and Compliance. Funny enough, he also started out as a chemical engineer, graduating from UC Berkeley. Very similar to our CEO, George Burga, once getting a taste of the field, Christian found himself quickly transitioning to the world of finance. Although he has only been actively producing for about a year now, he is fully licensed in real estate, mortgages, P&C insurance, life, accident and health insurance, and is currently working towards his securities series 7 and 66. He is our top producing agent and second in command to George. Most of our clients know and ask for Christian personally, and in less than a year, he has already built quite an impressive referral network.

"I pride myself on maintaining integrity and honesty with every one of my clients. I love the personal connections I have been able to build thus far in this industry and am ecstatic to continue servicing our new and existing clients for years to come. My goal is to help every customer achieve a better financial positioning that when they met me. I am always available, day or night, and take a true sense of pride in my work."

Cameron Freeman

Cameron is our newest employee. He comes from a very strong background in sales, customer service, and IT support. While currently getting licensed in real estate, mortgage, and insurance, Cameron is responsible for all things tech related. We have very high aspirations of him as an agent once licensed, as he is already extremely knowledgeable about the industry. One conversation with him and you can see his determination to be great, and we cannot be more excited he is on our team.

Ismael Ceballos

Ismael "Ish" Ceballos is our do it all man. While currently preparing to take his real estate licensing exam, he is absorbing all the information the industry has to offer. He apprentices directly under Christian, studying how to find off market properties, prepare knowledgeable offers, and provide the best service possible to our clients. Ish is a phenomenal people person. He will talk to anyone about literally anything. He is so hungry for information, it is honestly inspiring to those around him (even the seasoned vets). We have no doubts he will become a top producer once he obtains his license.

Customer Testimonials

Column

Christian just finished up getting me the house of my dreams. I cannot speak enough about his professionalism and knowledge throughout the entire home buying process. He acted as my real estate agent, mortgage officer, and even my insurance agent!

This agent is as qualified as they get. Seriously, ask him about his background before he got into this business, it will surprise you!

On top of his int intellect, you can really tell he cares about you when he works with you. He takes his time to understand what you are looking for, and will go to whatever lengths he needs to ensure you get it. By far the best agent I have every worked with and I cannot recommend him enough.

"George Burga is amazing. I met him 10 years ago as nothing more than my insurance broker. I had just recently moved to America from the Phillippines with almost nothing to my name. He immediately took an interest in me outside of just an insurance client. He taught me about managing my finances, investing intelligently, and building my personal wealth in sustainable ways. Ten years later, I own my own business, just remodeled my home that he helped me buy, and am enjoying every minute of it thanks to George and his team.

Seriously, to anyone reading this, this guy can change your life. Just talk to him once and you will see what I am talking about."

"These guys know what they are doing. I have met every person in the office, and I can tell you, they are all top-class. They represented me in buying my first property years ago with both the real estate and the mortgage. I had such a great experience that I have come back to them years later with a number of investment properties. These guys understand investors because they all invest themselves! They know how write good offers, find off market properties, and qualify you for the loans you need to close that deal! I owe a large portion of my net worth to them. If you are working with another agent and close on multiple properties a year, I stress you to just give these guys a change on one property. You will see the difference and never go back."
