What recent reviews say

Most clients praise named brokers (Narsim, Terri, Lois, Sarah, Sean) for patience and transparency, often securing savings or smooth coverage moves. A vocal minority faced unexplained rate hikes, slow quote turnarounds, and difficulty reaching support to fix errors like misspelled names or inflated vehicle values.

Based on limited recent reviews, so treat this as low-confidence.

Praised for
  • knowledgeable, patient brokers by name
  • quick policy switches and renewals
  • claims handled well and accessible
  • staff responsive and caring
Watch-outs
  • premium increases with no explanation
  • long waits for quotes
  • poor record-keeping and follow-up
  • hard to reach for corrections
responsive-agentknowledgeable-staffhelpful-adviceeasy-to-reachhard-to-reachfast-claims-processpoor-communication

Think twice if: Renewal rates rise unexpectedly and staff responsiveness to corrections varies; ask about pricing logic upfront.

Strengths

  • named brokers deliver personal attention
  • wide specialty coverage options
  • strong claims support

Worth knowing

  • Brokers Narsim Achar, Terri M, Lois Garland, Sarah P, and Sean praised for responsiveness
  • clients report $93-120 monthly rate jumps with no claims

Several brokers earn strong praise for personal attention and speed on urgent matters, especially Christine Currie, Tina, Nicole Tremblay, and David Friesen. However, chronic phone accessibility issues and delays in renewal notifications undermine the overall experience. Customers report weeks of unanswered calls and policy renewals arriving with insufficient time to shop alternatives.
