My first experience working with Brian was pretty good. Once I had my policies in place and I…read moreneeded to make changes/corrections or had questions it was a lot harder to get support from Brian or his office. Recently, my insurer drastically increased my rates without informing me why and the only way to address this was to work with Brian. I got in touch with the office and expressed my interest in getting this corrected or having other options before my policy renewed and managed to get Brian on the phone to discuss. He promised I would receive options or a solution by the next business day. I never heard back. I ended up switching to a different insurer (not through avail) and it took multiple attempts to get Avail to cancel my old policy. I think of the whole point of working with an agent is to get better service than dealing directly with an insurer -- with Avail that was certainly not the case.

James has been our insurance agent for the past 13 years and I'm still shocked at how responsive…read moreand organized he is. When I ask for a quote, he always responds promptly and lays out the options clearly in an email, then follows up to make sure we get covered in a timely manner. My wife and I have gone back and forth between working for others and working for ourselves. When we work for ourselves, we know that James will always get us covered for the best price possible. I've referred at least a dozen friends and family to James. At family/friend gatherings, when the conversation gets really enthralling and we start going deep on health insurance, we always talk about how great James is to work with.

I highly recommend Sagacious Insurance for all your insurance needs. Maura listened carefully to…read moremy concerns and insurance wants. I was told she would be back the following day, and she emailed me the quotes I requested and called to review them with me. She fulfilled all of my wants! The quotes were much better than what I had found calling around on my owns. She was personable and professional. I later learned that Maura is the President of Sagacious Insurance Services. They are a terrific firm!

I rarely leave reviews, but I had to following my experience working with Maura at Sagacious…read more I was facing nonrenewal by my homeowners insurance, as so many Bay Area folks / Californians have been in recent years. Stressful to say the least! Maura calmly and expertly guided me through my options, and patiently answered my questions. I felt zero pressure simply to sell me anything. She was genuinely guided by my best interests. She also knows her stuff: she was aware of what was happening with my particular insurer in my region, and the industry generally. She generously shared her time and expertise with me, providing clear, actionable steps during a fraught moment. I didn't end up needing to get a new policy through Sagacious, but she helped me anyhow...who does that? Almost nobody. Also, compared to other insurance brokers I'd found through Yelp and contacted as well? Night and day difference in terms of knowledge, responsiveness, sound advice, and all around professionalism and peace of mind it gave me. So, when I actually do need to buy a new insurance policy of any kind, I'm contacting Maura at Sagacious, and also feel comfortable recommending her to friends and family.

Tony and his team are rock stars! Many insurance brokers are responsive when selling you a policy…read morebut hard to reach when you actually need help. 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!
