Tony and his team have always been there for me. After 14 years with virtually no claims, Liberty Mutual dropped coverage for my rental properties and later my home. While some brokers wouldn't even return my calls, Tony and his team helped me find solutions. They've also been consistently responsive whenever I've needed policy changes--including multiple adjustments to my umbrella coverage over the years. What really sets Tony apart is his integrity. When an insurer he recommended couldn't cover my home because of its proximity to trees, he gave me the names of other companies to try before pursuing surplus lines coverage--even though it meant taking my business elsewhere. His advice worked. After decades of working with insurance brokers, Tony stands out as someone I trust to put my interests first. I can't recommend him and his team highly enough!

Very positive experience overall, and I would definitely work with Mallory again.

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.

Esther Lee at BPIA as able to have the carrier increase the coverage and provide proof of the increased coverage in less than an hour. I have great respect for BPIA and all their staff because they are always looking out for the clients' interest and take care of business in the most professional and respectful way. Five Stars!

I had my car insurance with AAA for a couple of years and I thought I was getting a great deal…read more When people recommended me to go to Slavsky, I was pretty skeptical at first. I knew I was getting a good rate and thought that in the best-case scenario I'll save like $20 a year on my car insurance and I will end up being insured by some small unknown company. It was time to renew my AAA for another year and I decided to give Slavsky a chance. I spent some time on the phone with them -- about 20 minutes total, I'd say. I ended up saving like $170 per year or so and the new insurance company is Mercury -- which is totally cool in my book -- I know Mercury and I trust them as much as I trust AAA. Spend 20 minutes on the phone and another 20 minutes on getting/signing all the needed paperwork to save $170? I'd do it everyday, if I could.

Without their help, our claim may have gone into its third month, when claims should not be taking this long. All my thanks to Slavsky (now Perfect California), and I will continue with Slavsky for all my insurance needs!
