Blake is a horrible insurance agent and has no idea what he is doing. Due to a hail storm that went through Central Oregon in 2021, my roof was damaged and had to be replaced. At that time, I also had a small water leak that damaged some wood flooring which I was going to pay out of pocket to repair due to concern of raising my rates but Blake highly encourage that I submit that as claim as well but to just wait a bit of time between submissions. The roof repair and claim took a year to finalize and close, and then I waited until February of 2025 to submit a claim on the water damage. Before submitting, I called Blake up again and specifically asked if this would raise my rates and he said it would be no problem. Three days after closing the water damage claim, Blake calls me up to tell me that State Farm is dropping my home coverage to which he replied, "Sorry, and good luck". Every insurance agent I have now spoken with, including other State Farm agents, are shocked that he recommend the second claim, and in fact, they all stated that they would have recommended NOT to submit the claim. He apparently has no idea what he is doing. Part 2 (Response) Telling me whether or not damage to may house is covered or not is one thing, recommending that I submit a claim after I express concerns of raising my rates let alone dropping my coverage entirely is a whole different story. I only submitted a claim because you said to at two different occasions. Not much of a benefit to being dropped by your insurance is there? Every other decent agent I have now spoken with would have explicitly recommended not to submit the water damage claim as they said they would have worried that I would have a rate increase or dropped. You may not be part of the underwriting decisions, but if you knew what you were doing as an agent, you would have recommended against submitting a second claim like all other agents would have. Yes, it is the right of the customer to submit a claim or not, but we look for guidance from an agent who is supposed to help you out and be on your side at the time of an accident, not provide horrible advice that leads to a costly outcome. read more

Blake Ettestad's StateFarm office may be the best business I interact with. Samantha in particular has gone above and beyond more than once- she is an exemplary example of the type of quality person one would want representing their business. Recently when I moved, I set up my "to call" list so I could update all my bills. Each company I spoke to was more difficult than the last- but then I was pleasantly surprised when I called my State Farm office. First, a human answered. They were courteous, professional, and proactive. I appreciate having local, friendly help and knowing I don't have to make follow up calls because they already took care of it. Many companies (such as our infamous local ISP) could learn a lot about how things should get done from the folks at Blake Ettestad's State Farm office. read more

I spoke with Blake approximately three years ago and he was unable to insure me as I had too many tickets. He called me last month to let me know that a couple of my tickets had dropped off and he could quote me now. We made an appointment for him to meet me and my husband at our house to discuss options. We ended up bundling our home and auto insurance and he saved us almost $200 a month! Currently he is working up life insurance and health insurance quotes. He is a very proactive communicator, knows his industry very well, and I highly recommend him for your insurance needs. read more

I transferred my policies to Blake Ettestad State Farm when my original agent retired. Blake and his staff were very attentive to what I wanted and needed in an insurance agency. I was provided with a thorough review of my policies and their professional recommendations on how I could fix gaps in my protection. I feel confident that my family is protected well and that I have the best deal around. I recommend Blake Ettestad to any one looking for home, auto, life, health, liability or business insurance! read more

Blake and his team were very welcoming when I came in to transfer my policy to State Farm. He is very personable and definitely has the customer's best interest in mind, which is so important when it comes to insurance! I feel very comfortable that if anything were to happen to our housing or cars, he would go above and beyond to take care of me and my husband. Also, when we transferred from Progressive, Blake was able to quadruple our insurance by only raising our current insurance by a few dollars. read more

We've recently transferred our policy's over to Blake's office and it's been seamless. Blake contacted us soon after and he sat down with my wife and I to make sure we had the coverage we needed; he's a great guy who's extremely personable and we enjoyed our time with him! I also just recently sold a vehicle and bought a replacement and they made the switch over a quick phone call. I highly recommend Blake and am excited to have him be a part of the Bend business community! read more

Blake is the absolute best! Super diligent and always there to help. He makes the insurance coverage you have very easy to understand and works really hard at the drop of a hat. I literally was able to call him directly and get fast service and the information I needed to email to a new apartment complex within 5 mins. Anybody that doesn't think Blake does an amazing job is probably an idiot. Thank you Blake and know that I stay with State Farm because of you! read more

This is probably the best insurance agency I have ever been to. I was not satisfied with Progressive, I felt like the was no one advocating for me. Dale was absolutely fantastic! Not only do I have an advocate who is looking after me, they also saved me a bunch of money. I was so happy with them I insured my house also. Very professional. Harrison read more
