"Made a call to add a vehicle to my policy and had an exceptional experience with Lisa DeSena. My wife was on her way to her credit union to show them the insurance declaration I was calling for, so that she could get the check to purchase the vehicle we were adding. My wife had limited time before her work shift started and so did I, as I was on my lunch break. Spoke to the State Farm general customer service phone number a couple days prior and they entered in most of the information but needed to finalize with my agency. When we tried to bring up the info we discovered that for some reason all the info I submitted with customer service didn’t get saved and we had to enter everything in again. I told Lisa how I didn’t have much time and she ran through everything swiftly and concisely. The prior call with customer service was unnecessarily long, Lisa got the same information inputted, and finalized billing in less than half the time of the customer service call. My wife nor I was late. The entire interaction was refreshingly professional and human, thx!!"

"want to take a moment to thank Lori Ruiz for her outstanding help with transferring my insurance to my new cars. She made the entire process smooth and stress-free, making sure I had exactly the coverage I needed. I have been a State Farm client for many years, but what truly makes the difference is working with someone like Lori. She is knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely cares about her clients. She took the time to explain everything clearly and ensured all the details were handled properly. I truly appreciate her professionalism and dedication. I highly recommend Lori to anyone looking for reliable and personalized insurance service."

"Very professional and always responds promptly to calls and emails. Willing to look at all different options to get you the best deal possible. I highly recommend speaking to Lisa DeSena -- she is awesome! Adding to my previous review: being able to speak to someone directly with any question, issue, etc. makes the insurance process much easier and less stressful. Lisa always responds to me quickly - usually the same day."

"I called to get clarifications regarding the factors responsible for the difference in premiums applicable to two policies I have. The agent, Sarah Keon, did an outstanding job going over some of the information taken into account. In the process, I corrected some of the incorrect/stale data held in the company’s database and submitted a document that was missing. The whole interaction was very cordial and professional. This was a very productive call."

"What an excellent experience I had at this location! In all my years dealing with different insurance companies, I’ve never had such a smooth and clear process. All thanks to the young lady named Fina. I believe she’s new at this office, but wow—she was incredibly informative. I initially called with questions about life insurance, and she went above and beyond explaining all my options with so much patience and understanding. She even educated me on renter’s insurance and helped me realize it was something I actually needed—best decision I made. Thank you so much, Fina! I highly recommend this location. They truly care about both their existing and new clients."

"I have recently requested insurance for my new car and State Farm representative Christine Capandonis was helping me. Everything was done in a very short timeline, very professional, friendly. Christine answered all my question and offered more and more assistance if needed. I am really happy to work with her and next time, if I need help with home/auto insurance, will obviously ask if Christine is available. THANK YOU for GREAT JOB!"
