"Got the opportunity to talk with Catherine directly due to coverage limit changes in CA ,and she is really great. I had a backlog of small questions accumulated over several years that I didn’t actually expect to get answers to, but to my surprise she was incredibly fast looking through my file and untangling many small details from years ago and explained with perfect clarity. She is very transparent, and her approach to sales and overall way she treated me was also great. I don’t like being pressured or even scolded about coverage choices - But she framed things in a way where I felt she is really just looking out for my best interest, and to do what makes sense. I would go out of my way to remain her client."
We responded:
"Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We're thrilled to hear about your positive experience with our agency. Your interaction clearly reflects our commitment to transparent and customer-focused service. We understand that navigating coverage options can be daunting, and we're glad made you feel supported without any pressure. Your decision to remain a client means a lot to us! If you have any more questions, feel free to reach out. We’re here to help!"

"State Farm wanted me to wait 2 weeks until they okayed my signing a new auto insurance policy with them . I passed . Be careful ."
We responded:
