"If I can give 10 stars I would!!!! Today I received top notch customer service from starting my quote online till finishing it up with a lovely agent (Carole Simon). She provided details information regarding the quote I chose to finding me good deals and discounts. She walked me through the whole setup and process to sign online documents. Carole made sure all my questions were answered before ending the call. I’m more than satisfied with my new coverage rate. I recommend using them as your new insurance agent.

"I want to say a few things about one of your agents. Mrs. Carole Simon has been consistent in all the interactions of service she has provided for me and my family over the last 18 months. I was a State Farm customer for more than 22 years. I switched to USAA back in 2018 because of a poor customer service with another State Farm Office. However, since my return in 2021 your office agents have been on top of things. Mrs. Carole Simon is dynamic. There are several things that ignites her customer service. For starters, she has a phenomenal attitude. Also, her amicable telephone engagement, she listens to your concerns in order to provide a solution. Her knowledge of the products you offer is awesome and the follow through is stupendous. She is the key reason for my choice to bundle home and auto. The detailed explanation of key coverage items for my home was identified and explained with such transparency it made my decision easy. Please share my review with her and your staff as a source of encouragement. My Regards!"
"Thank you for your powerful feedback! Our goal is to provide exactly the caliber of service you detailed above on each and every call or visit! Trust me, it means a great deal to Carole to know that she was able to deliver in the many ways you articulated above. My team and I have a passion for assisting people in managing the risks that are associated with everyday life, it's what we do! Carole is indeed awesome, I agree! BD"
