From the first time we contacted Bernard, he was always helpful and fast to respond to our emails. His website and team helped guide us through the mortgage process smoothly and allowed the process to be as stress-free as possible. - Kassia
I had a tight timeline. Bernard worked really hard for me, making the deadline and getting me the rate I wanted for the term I wanted and so we didn't have to extend the closing!! Definitely recommend! - Kelly
We have used Bernard multiple times and he has always been very helpful and has always made things very easy for us. We definitely pass on his name when someone is looking for a mortgage broker. - Greg
Bernard was quick to get back to me with answers to any questions that I had. We didn't need to meet in person, we dealt exclusively by phone and email. His staff were helpful and the process went quite seamlessly. - Pam B
Bernard and his team are very knowledgable and responsive to all questions and help where you hit roadblocks. This is our second transaction with Bernard and his team. We have already referred to multiple people. - Natrisha
He is the the man of the hour who is to sweet to be sour! The women’s pet and the men’s regret! The reflection of perfection the man who got my attention. The one with the greatest arms and the one with the best charms. My first time ever witnessing greatness, standing in Bernie’s building with Bernie’s people. He eats t bone steaks he lifts bar bell weights, he is sweeter than a German chocolate cake. And all I gotta say is when someone’s the greatest mortgage broker in the world they don’t call them great, they call them Bernard Immel! Hiring Bernie will get you one more for the highlight reel, one more for the win column and one more for the good guys! - Nathan

Bernard and his staff are very knowledgeable.Bernard played the numbers to help us make the most out of our budget Chynna made the most with rhe lenders and fought for us to get the best deal up to the last day before closing even getting us a lower rate at the end Shovonna,Chynna and Bernard are in constant communication with each other constantly working on our file to help us get through the process with little to no hiccups and the hiccups we did encounter was not their fault but dealt with it for us so we can have everything ready for closing. All in all I would recommend bgi finacial for anyone trying to purchase or get help tapping into your home equity thank you so much Bernard,Chynna and Shovonna for all your hard work. - Matthew
Bernard has helped me out with multiple purchases over the years and has gone the extra mile on each one. Communication was outstanding with helping us closed over the Christmas holidays and while we were on the beach in Dominican. He has a vast knowledge of mortgages and has helped us understand pros/cons of various terms, down payment amounts and options. I would highly recommend Bernard....Oh I forgot the most important part, he helped us find the best rate! - Spencer
In 2023 Bernard and his team worked hard to secure me a new lender when my mortgage came up for renewal. They persevered and worked magic to find the best outcome for my needs. They were very patient and friendly and answered all my questions throughout the process. They were easily reached and had a clear process for submitting documents back and forth online. I have confidence they can handle even the most complicated of situations. Although the entire process took a little longer than expected, I would recommend Bernard and his professional team. - June
Bernard and his team was absolutely amazing from start to finish. Team cares and very easy to work with. This was our first home and thing was moving fast and the holiday was upon us, but through all Bernard and team was there with us. Our main contact Chynna, an amazing lady. She is very knowledgeable, easy to talk too. The BGI Financial team honest, hard work and knowledgeable. I will definitely be using this team again and i will cont. to refer them to others. Thank you so very much Bernard, Chynna and team - Kaefeir
