My grandfather bought this agency and ran it for over 30 years with my parents.
At one point I had my condo, cars, and a house insured with them. The new ownership is terrible and it has been extremely embarrassing having to tell our friends and family what has become of the agency.
Call the previous people that worked there. Ask Rose, Joe, Echo, Nancy and Gar if they have any of their or their friends and family's insurance is at Moody? Why did all of the employees leave?
It is embarrassing to tell people in town what became of a business that was tied to my family for over 30 years.
So keep erasing my reviews...but I was a customer with a very sentimental history for this company...and I will no longer do business and certainly would not refer business to them.
I am tired of being embarrassed by this...the owners are not from Venice...they do not live in Venice, their families are not from Venice or even Sarasota. They didn't even move here full time when they bought the business. This is nothing more than a money making scheme to extract cash from a business in our community. Nothing more.
They are not involved with any of the community functions my grandfather and father supported for over 30 years.
So no...I no longer have my insurance here. I am telling friends and family to move their insurance where all of the employees went.
I would challenge people to ask if the owners are in when they go to the office, and do they live in Venice full time...how much time do they spend in Venice or even in Florida. What community organizations are they involved in. Do they sponsor community events like Rotary, junior golf, Venice High School, cb's fishing tournaments, anything? What has the new ownership done to support Venice besides sell insurance and extract money from the business to take back to Wisconsin where they live most of the year.
Considering this is where I had my insurance, and where multiple generations of my family made their living...I still would not recommend them, I will not do business with them, and I will let any locals know that my family is no longer involved there.
So while I certainly have personal feelings about this...I WAS A CUSTOMER WITH MULTIPLE DIFFERENT LINES OF BUSINESS AT THE AGENCY!!! So quit erasing my reviews.
I THINK THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY THAT WOULD AGREE IT IS QUITE ACCURATE.
And no...I am not in insurance so I have nothing to gain personally other than to inform others in Venice what became of the business that was tied to several generations of my family over 3 decades. read more
