The credit card I use tp pay got scammed and I emailed to please contact me....I thought since they were a busy agency that was a polite way to contact them. WAS I WRONG! In the mail today came a cancellation of my auto insurance!! This is after I paid more for homeowners insurance thru them than city property taxes. Yes, I called immediately and solved it but I guess they couldn't be bothered to contact me OR return my email. So much for loyalty . Looks like all these reviews are old...so here is one for 2026..when we need loyalty more than ever. I asked for an explanation and /or an apology...did I get one? NO! Am I to be a customer still..I don't think so..

Steve has been helping me think about making some better financial decisions with my life and how to plan better for my future.

He does this with ease and patience and doesn't belittle you at all. He draws excellent diagrams to illustrate his points, and his staff organizes plenty of documents for reference. I highly recommend him, as I have done so now for my boyfriend and my family.

I then proceeded to end the call. A true "never again" example if I ever saw one. Horrible business model and a very unfriendly approach to potential new customers.

For a few years since, our insurance rates rose aggressively. I've asked for new quotes but I get a lot of "others are coming back higher" or "we're still waiting on another quote" and this year I got ignored completely while my phone calls never got returned. However my cancellation email was responded to in a timely manner. I went to another broker: over 40% off this year's renewal rate (felt so cheap we even added 10% coverage but we were under covered before). The only explanation I can come up with is they aren't into brokering condo insurance (anymore?) and they didn't care whether I stayed with them or paid an obscene rate.
