What recent reviews say

Reviewers consistently praise named brokers-Kyle Eggett, Vince Lau, Rick, Jennika Page-for expertise, accessibility, and finding rates well below competitors. Turnaround is often same-day or under 24 hours, with staff working outside normal hours when needed. One recent customer saw rates jump $2,500 annually post-acquisition and felt abandoned when seeking relief; the broker then sent the debt to collections despite submitted termination notice.

Long-standing clients report years of reliability and professional follow-through. The team's strength lies in individual broker relationships rather than institutional process. Most cite specific savings of $1,000-plus and appreciate the time taken to explain coverage options in detail, though this depth isn't universal across all staff.

Praised for
  • knowledgeable, trusted brokers by name
  • responsive and proactive communication
  • tailored solutions, competitive rates
  • fast turnaround, goes extra distance
Watch-outs
  • major rate increases after acquisition
  • poor retention response to rate complaints
  • collection agency notice sent after cancellation
responsive-agentknowledgeable-stafffair-pricinghelpful-advicepersonalized-serviceeasy-to-reachtrustworthygreat-follow-up
Best for: customers who value expert guidance and tailored multi-carrier comparison over self-serve quotes
Think twice if: recent acquisition (from McBride) has led to large rate increases; retention support when rates spike appears inconsistent

Strengths

  • named brokers deliver personalized, expert service
  • competitive multi-carrier shopping saves $1000+
  • fast turnaround (same-day to 24 hours common)
  • professional integrity and accessibility beyond standard hours

Worth knowing

  • Kyle Eggett: repeatedly praised for expertise, same-day results, rates 15-20% below prior quotes
  • Vince Lau: long-term account management, 'extra distance' noted
  • Jennika Page: two-hour policy walkthroughs, detailed coverage explanation
  • Rick: proactive, on-time delivery, client advocacy
  • Commercial turnaround: bonding secured in under 72 hours
  • McBride acquisition: triggered rate hikes (example: $5000 to $7500 annually) with weak retention response

Most clients experience friendly, knowledgeable service focused on understanding their needs rather than pushing sales. Ashley Charriere appears frequently in positive feedback for explaining options clearly and helping people find policies that fit their goals. One serious complaint about high-pressure tactics and unprofessional conduct from another agent stands out as an exception.
