    It should be zero Stars. ADAMSON INSURANCE AND ASSOCIATES CANNOT BE TRUSTED…read more We got our homeowners insurance through Scott Sands, who operates under Adamson Insurance and Associates and is partnered with them to do insurance business. His insurance "mentor" is the "higher up", with Adamson Insurance & Associates. It was estimated that Scott Sands, owner of sands insurance, with Adamson Insurance and Associates, lost us $30,000. He made a huge mistake when securing our coverage and would not admit and actually instead lied. When I tried to get his errors and omissions provider info, he refused and said that he was under his "mentors" errors and omissions. As I continued to reach out to his mentor and him, I was ignored. His "mentor" knew the situation and yet would not even entertain a conversation with me about it nor would he give me his errors and omissions provider. Instead, adamson's insurance and Associates along with Scott sands, ignored us and covered the whole thing up. We had a newborn, a 1 year old, an elderly man who we took in to help with his medical conditions, and my wife who was just diagnosed and experiencing her own medical condition, when our beautifully renovated Victorian home's finished and furnished basement flooded with sewer water, due to water and sewer backup all over Newton Iowa that eventually backed up in our home as well. Because of the weight of something like this happening in our situation, we were devastated and shell shocked. The work itself that it took to safely clean up and sanitize the home was enough to devastate, but we also had to find a place for our close elderly friend and he had to purchase all new stuff; on top of that, the injustice they did to us all to avoid an errors and omissions claim on them was all too much for us to handle. We were literally and truthfully traumatized by the whole thing. Scott Sands does not even deserve to have an insurance license. Yet, Scott got away Scott free. He was never held accountable. THE ONLY JUSTICE HE AND ADAMSON INSURANCE AND ASSOCIATES WILL SERVE IS IF PEOPLE DON'T GO TO THEM FOR THEIR INSURANCE NEEDS, AND THE JUSTICE THEY WILL FACE WHEN THEY STANDS BEFORE GOD, UNLESS THEY REPENT.

    I used this company for over 10 years. I had a particular difficult airplane to insure, a Falco…read moreF.8L. My policy said I was the only one to "Pilot" the airplane, which I took to mean, I could not lend the airplane to anyone qualified or unqualified, even someone with prior Falco time. No other definition was provided in the policy or by Skysmith. Took many neighbors for rides as well as Young Eagles and I always let them fly the airplane. Many came back with smiles. When I tried to get my daughter on the policy (Instrument rated with 250 TT) I was told no, but to send in multiple pilot updates, which I did. She had about 8 hours flying with me. I was always in the left seat where the brakes are. I'm a CFI and would sign her logbook. After she got her IFR rating I sent in the third update, Skysmith told me there were cancelling my policy due to letting someone else "pilot" the plane while I was the PIC! Total Bull Shit, and the worst thing was Skysmith continued to ask for her updated pilot information which they passed on to the underwriter. If the wording of "piloting" an aircraft meant no one could touch the control then it should have said so and Skysmith should have told me that definition and diverted the pilot updates so as not to get me cancelled. What does "Piloting" mean anyway? The FAA used PIC or "Sole manipulator of the controls", so the term Piloting is only defined by the insurance company, but wasn't in the policy. I was trying to do the right thing and they weren't professional enough to understand the policy terms and they led me right off the cliff. These guys hold themselves out to be Tops in the industry but they only care about the premiums they get and not about their customers. Since they represented the only underwriter who insured the Falco I am now without insurance. Thanks You Skysmith FOR NOTHING! All broker can survey all the underwriters so all any one broker can offer is service. I would suggest you go elsewhere unless you want the poor service I received. PS. I bought another airplane, a 1979 Tiger and asked for a quote. I paid $110 for the plane and it was a bargain but they would only quote me on a value of $90K. Said I had to prove the value. More BS from Skysmith

    Skysmith has been great to work with over the years. I have 4 airplanes insured with him and Scott…read morealways gets back to me right away and is willing to discuss potential purchases or changes to the policy. I have been very happy with them.

    I highly recommend you AVOID purchasing any policy from Sands Insurance. My family and I recently…read moremoved to Ankeny and needed insurance. We looked to Scott for assistance for both home and auto - BIG mistake. From the home insurance side, Scott would not provide the insurance binder for my mortgage company to confirm my policy (which I had already purchased). It took four separate email reminders for Scott to finally send the packet to my mortgage company, delaying the underwriting and closing process tremendously. Next, we looked to Scott for auto insurance which was an even bigger mistake. First, I sent him my payment information to start the policy on the requested date. He let the date pass without purchasing any coverage and he didn't notify me. I was under the assumption I had insurance given I sent Scott the payment information, however he didn't purchase the policy meaning I was driving illegally thanks to his incompetence. One month later, he let my paid auto policy lapse because I was not notified of required documentation. I was notified that I needed to set up automatic payments from Scott, but not that garaging information was required to keep my policy. (How ironic!) When I asked Scott why I was not notified of this requirement he stated that was not his job. Well, what is his job then? Don't find yourself asking the same question - take your business to a different insurance agency with integrity, something Scott severely lacks.

Every time I change auto's I am asked by whoever answers his phone who will be the driver and I specifically state my Daughter and give them her DL#. She started driving at 14 and now she is now 20. 2 weeks ago she was in a car accident in which a drunk driver hit her. When contacting and actually speaking with Tony he states that they do not see that my Daughter is a driver on my policies. He states... "Let me look thru the notes"- Just because his office staff didn't put it in his notes? He tried to state "how we're we supposed to know she graduated from learners permit to actual driver?" Ummm She's 20 and you've been given her DL on multiple occasions with every new car purchase.This is an automatic question they ask. "WHO WILL BE DRIVING THE CAR" He literally started talking over and yelling at me when I advised him I didn't understand this. You are my insurance agent. I call your office, I don't add policies on-line. I speak to your agency directly. He could not fathom as an agent any responsibility in his agencies over site. I have to wonder if I we're a man if he would have dared YELLING at me the way he did. The UN-professionalism was beyond anything I have ever experienced. When I advised him that I would definitely be writing a review he advised he would counteract. Whatever Tony, the truth is the truth. PARENTS BEWARE....YOU'RE REALLY NOT" IN GOOD HANDS" WITH TONY STRANG'S ALLSTATE AGENCY. The fact that I have to add one star to write the review isn't fair...His behavior and lack of professionalism deserves none.
