Chuck and his team, especially Michelle, have consistently been incredibly helpful throughout the years. Most recently, we faced the frustrating experience of having our State Farm homeowners policy canceled. Michelle went above and beyond to guide us through the entire transition from State Farm to the CA Fair Plan, making a stressful situation so much easier to navigate. We truly appreciate their dedication and customer service. I highly recommend Chuck Hemmert's office.

Greg Dunton was my instructor for a Retirement Planning class I took though Santa Rosa Junior…read moreCollege. The information he provided was very pertinent as I was a recent retiree from local government and my wife was a currently employed school teacher. Greg's class was terrific but I completed the class wanting more information about how to manage and prepare for retirement. My wife and I had questions regarding Social Security and how best to handle a moderate sized investment portfolio. We wanted low risk and high security. We also had questions around annuities and other financial instruments. For example, we wanted to know more about the differences between fixed and variable annuities. We invited Greg into our home for a couple of get-acquainted sessions. After the second session we became comfortable with Greg and developed confidence in his extensive knowledge and experience. Yes, he was thoroughly professional, but not at the expense of overlooking our personal issues around retirement planning and budgeting. As to budgeting, at least 50% of the time and energy we expended dealt with budget issues. Greg was not afraid of hurting our feeling over saying what needed to be said. He was always objective, frank and right to the point, but never judgmental. He answered all of our questions, no matter how simple or redundant. He never took more than a day to respond to a telephone or email question. Greg was very generous about dispensing printed information that could be helpful in our understanding of retirement issues. My wife and I are very happy with Greg Dunton's recommendations and suggestions which have been implemented. We feel very secure about our retirement future. For this we thank Greg Dunton. He has our strongest recommendation. Tom and Marion

Our annual policy nearly doubled and we did everything that was asked of us in a timely manner, yet just received notice that regardless, State Farm would be dropping us ultimately. I wish I had something good to say about anyone I worked with or spoke to at this agency, but I don't. They were all rude, short and really didn't seem to care, nor were they helpful in suggesting alternatives or providing any helpful direction. I'm sorry I wasted our time and money with this agency and State Farm should implode, greedy bastards. Funny how there aren't ANY positive reviews about this agency beyond 2019....hmmmmm....speaks volumes.
