Strong individual brokers like Gurjot, Vishal, Richa, and Urvash earn consistent five-star praise for speed, competitive rates, and pressure-free advice. Several customers reported excellent turnarounds on quotes and friendly, clear communication. The other side is serious: recent complaints center on cancelled policies dragging on for months without resolution, unexplained cancellation fees over $800, staff ignoring follow-ups, and broken commitments on signed agreements. A handful of customers felt disrespected during phone interactions, and some reported abandonment when carriers caused problems.
