"I was introduced to The Bernson Group by a fellow builder, and since my first deal in December 2023, I’ve financed over 25 new construction projects with them. Matt Bernson has been incredibly easy to work with. His responsiveness, professionalism, and deep understanding of the builder’s perspective have made each transaction seamless. They’ve delivered impeccable, reliable service every time—and that level of performance is rare in this industry. Their consistency and service are unmatched—I haven’t looked at another lender since. I’ve referred multiple builders to them and continue to do so without hesitation."

"I was referred to Lindsey Hillman with The Bernson Group to discuss an alternative funding option for a large renovation on a residential property. I was working with two banks in the Charleston area & both banks could not align with my strategy on funding the construction for the property. When I sat down with Lindsey and she explained the model that The Bernson Group had created for funding residential real estate projects, I had a good feeling this lender aligned with my funding strategy. I compared the cost of capital between the banks and The Bernson Group. Through The Bernson Group's funding model, I was able to finish the rehab of the property 4 months sooner compared to the bank's funding model. In real estate, time is money & The Bernson Group provided quick access to capital for this renovation. I highly recommend working with Lindsey & The Bernson Group."
