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!
GE-KE Financial Group, Inc. was founded in February of 1995. Since then, we have been dedicated to helping you purchase your dream properties. We are always here even if you just need advice. We pride ourselves on not pressuring our clients to do something that makes them uncomfortable. With us we want to ensure that the entire process of buying a property is at your own pace, and to your satisfaction.
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.

George has a professional degree in Master of Business Administration, graduating from the University of Southern California USC, in Los Angeles. 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.

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.

Customer Testimonials
"George Burga is amazing. I met him years ago as nothing more than my 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 a client. He taught me about managing my finances, investing intelligently, and building my personal wealth in sustainable ways. 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."
- Bernadette
"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."
