"Sydney helped me so much with switching my car insurance!! I had no idea how much money I could save by switching to State Farm and she helped me get the most of it by adding on life insurance, road side assistance, and car rental insurance!!! Things I’ve never had before and at such a great price!! She was so personable and easy to talk to!! She answered all of my questions and helped me so much!!!"

"I came to Nicole at State Farm in hopes for a much better rate. She’s been a long time friend of my family and even though I should have known she wouldn’t steer me wrong I was dead set Progressive was the cheapest and best around. Boy do I regret that all this time! I was paying $345 per month for full coverage on a 2021 GMC Terrain and a liability only on an ancient 2008 Pontiac Vibe with renters insurance as well. I reached out to Nicole and boy did she come ALL THE WAY through! I now have full coverage on both vehicles, renters insurance that also covers my small at home daycare, life insurance for myself and 2 teenage children. She saved me $70 per month from what I was paying with Progressive for FAR LESS coverage. I not only have far more coverage but who couldn’t use an extra $70 per month in their pocket this day and age? If you are hesitant, please don’t hesitate anymore!!! She WILL save you and bring much more peace to the new year for you and your loved ones."
We responded:
"Thank you so much, Angela, for your wonderful and heartfelt review! We're thrilled to hear that Nicole was able to not only save you money but also provide you with greater coverage and peace of mind for you and your family. It means a lot to us that you trusted Nicole and that she could deliver such great results. Your kind words truly motivate us to keep providing excellent service. If you ever need anything else, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Wishing you and your loved ones a safe and prosperous new year!"

"Working with Hanna was a wonderful experience. Made switching my policies a breeze. Talking to her on the phone she made me feel like I was friend she has known and was sharing information with, not being a "salesman". I felt very comfortable talking to her and she did all the leg work. Not to mention switching to State Farm saves me almost $2,000 a year on my home and auto."
We responded:
"Thank you so much for your kind words, Regina! We're thrilled to hear that Hanna made your experience smooth and comfortable. It's great to know that switching your policies saved you so much, and that you felt like you were talking with a friend rather than a salesperson. We'll be sure to share your feedback with Hannah. If you ever need anything else, we're here to help!"

"had some small bumps on my auto. it started to go smooth after a couple months. Looked into getting my mobile home insured. took pictures a few times. waited a week and called in. Oh, we need more pictures, one showing the back steps go all the way to the ground? they sit on the ground. Then they said, the gas meter is lined up with the back door. you would have to move the door or move the gas line. I said that was a show stopper because of the cost, but could you put in the letter that customer felt he could not afford to do this to get the insurance. i was told, NO, we will just say the applicant cancelled. The auto insurance is a good price. that is the 3 stars. the games the underwriters played and the lack of even a little concern about saying customer balked at demands for construction was just impossible, that is why it is ONLY 3 stars?"

"After trying to find a different insurance provider, my wife was contacted by State Farm. I say this with absolute conviction: Sidney Clapp was OUTSTANDING. She literally spent time with me on the phone ensuring I understood each policy for our cars and our house. I just can’t say enough positive things about the experience I had working with Sidney. Then within just a few weeks, I received a follow up call from Hanna Applegate. Again, I was so impressed by her professionalism and knowledge! What a GREAT team you have!!!!"
We responded:
"David, it sounds like you had an excellent experience with Sydney and Hannah ! Outstanding customer service can make a significant difference when dealing with insurance, and it's great to hear that both representatives took the time to ensure you fully understood your policies. If you need any assistance or further information regarding insurance policies or anything else, feel free to ask! Thank you for your business!"
