All docs were handled electronically and I was up and running a day later. She was honest and upfront about where she could save me and where I was better off looking on my own. For that, she gets a full positive rating for service, savings, and communication. Thanks again.

I don't usually write reviews of businesses, especially of any financial or insurance brokers -…read moremainly because the preferences for them tend to be very subjective. But I had to make an exception for Karen Sahota from SahotaInsuranceServices - with whom I had worked for over 20 years: Karen Sahota from SahotaInsuranceServices. She and her team always looked out for my best interest and worked diligently during every rate increase to ensure we got the best insurance coverage at the best price. With her experience, she will also provide you detailed analysis(simplified for me, of course) of why things are the way they are and what's our best option. I've had Home and Auto Insurance from multiple Insurance firms, and I always used to shop and compare myself(yes, I'm that OCD), but Karen's offer had always been the best. I've never had any issues dealing with a claim with any of the insurers she recommended. At this point, I believe whatever she says. So, if you are looking for a good Insurance agent who will keep your best interest, look no further. You have my word for it. Call her now to see if you can get a better deal. Good luck!

If you are a small business owner and need general liability insurance, contact BPIA! Virginia…read moreFontana is excellent. I have a small business which is not a standard franchise operation so at first I had trouble finding coverage. Virginia took the time to talk to me and really understand what it is that I do so she could contact the appropriate insurance carriers to find the right policy for me. Two other agencies just told me that no one wants to insure me because there is too much risk - this is because they didn't understand what my business really is and how it is different from other somewhat similar businesses. Prior to starting my business I worked for a small non profit organization and Virgina was our insurance agent there. She was great! She was never late with paperwork, she stayed in regular contact with us and helped us through the changes in our policy every year. Anyone can give good service when they get a new client but BPIA stayed consistent with the good customer service over the years. I just cant' say enough good things about this agency. If you have a unique business or non-profit or other "out of the box" insurance need - you can't do better than BPIA!

I am an apartment building owner. It is now almost impossible to get liability insurance for…read moreapartment buildings in California in today's environment. All the carriers are leaving the state. After my insurance agent of many years procrastinated and then failed to find me an affordable policy, I was within days of having no insurance at all. Worried, I called BPIA and spoke to Mark Woods. He was FAR more knowledgeable of the CA apartment insurance landscape, and knew exactly what to do and where to find high quality insurance. He explained to me patiently, and in detail the situation, and where we would find a provider. Finally, at the last minute, my old agent did find a policy. It was from out of state, without CA protections, and 2x the price of my old policy, with less coverage. Mark advised me that it was an inferior product and promised he would find a CA carrier with higher $$$ limits and a lower price. He made me his top priority, and searched tirelessly, and in the RIGHT places, communicating frequently along the way, as he knew I was worried. He found a CA carrier with 50% higher limits, better terms, and $2000 cheaper. Now we had to process a bunch of paperwork and answer detailed questions about circuit breakers brands, furnaces, and construction, as required by the carrier. We worked great as a team. The day my old policy expired, Mark worked with me until 11:55 PM to get all the paperwork done and submitted so that coverage would be in effect that same day. At 10:30 PM, when I said, "Mark, please take the rest of the night off and go to bed.", he said, "No. I don't want to see you go without coverage another day." He got the paperwork submitted a few minutes before midnight, showing an effective date that same day. I have to admit I have never gotten an adrenalin rush out of insurance before! Mark Woods at BPIA was the most professional, caring, hard working, dedicated insurance agent I have ever experienced. He took my need for insurance as a personal priority. I highly recommend him and BPIA without reservation.

I have always driven past Jain Williams' State Farm office, as it's been a staple in Oakland for…read moreyears. Although I've had another type of insurance with State Farm, my auto insurance had been with a different company for nearly 20 years. I recently called the office to update my insurance card and had the pleasure of speaking with Carla. During our conversation, she asked if I had auto insurance and who my current provider was. She then asked if she could review my policy with me. Normally, I would have politely declined, but Carla's warm and friendly personality immediately put me at ease. It honestly felt like I was talking to someone I'd known for years. She took the time to thoroughly explain my coverage in a way no one ever had before. I realized I had always carried auto insurance simply because it's required by law in California, without ever fully understanding what my policy actually covered. At first, I was hesitant to make a change after being with my previous insurance company for almost 20 years. However, by the end of our conversation, I felt confident enough to become part of the State Farm family. Carla is truly an asset to this office. Her professionalism, patience, and genuine care made all the difference. Excellent customer service like hers is hard to find, and I sincerely appreciate the time she took to help me.

They spent the time to hand craft a policy that fit my specific needs (this was the first time, an insurance company was telling me that I am selecting too much coverage!!!) and made the whole process a breeze. Last month one of our cars was stolen.... That extra coverage came in handy after all! Gene was super patient and informative; he walked me thru the process and followed up until everything got resolved.
