As a longtime adherent of the "whatever is cheapest" approach of purchasing insurance, I doubted I would really be able to save any money when I contacted Scott and his team. I was referred by a friend and decided to give State Farm a shot after having several less-than-stellar claim experiences involving car and renter policies from my previous provider, and as part of my own goal to try to keep more of my transactions "local," I had Scott write me up a quote. Much to my surprise, they were able to increase my level of coverage and actually save me a bit of money per month. Color me surprised! What stood out to me above all, however, is the level of service I received both during and after my shopping experience. For instance, it was great to be able to make a quick phone call to check on my rental car coverage while traveling and get the answer in less than a minute. Scott and his team aren't just friendly -- they actually work hard and provide the kind of service that highlights the crucial difference between a local agent and a faceless website. read more

I don't know about you, but I haven't found a way to over $4000 a year, ever?! Not only are we saving money, but our coverage is FAR GREATER than it was before. Shopping for insurance can be a real hassle, especially if you own a business too. When we began working with Scott Hammond State Farm it was a huge relief. We didn't have to do much but provide the information neccesary. The agent came to our home, our business, and was always available whenever we called with questions. It seriously could not have been easier! We decided to go with State Farm because we have done business with Scott Hammond in the past when he worked for another company. He is exactly the kind of person we prefer to do business with. He is a positive person to be around. His word is important to him; his yes means yes, and his no means no. We have negotiated several contracts with Scott in the past, and he always made sure everything went as planned. If your looking for insurance, look no further! read more

I reached out to Scott's office I needed home insurance immediately. The receptionist was incredibly friendly and welcoming. I was then transferred to Sam Sinn. We used an online video interface where he was able to share his screen so that I could see directly the different insurance options available. He was incredibly kind, patient and competent. Sam knows his products well and listened attentively to my needs. There was no pressure whatsoever in steering my choices. He educated me, clarified any questions that I had and spent the time to allow me to choose what felt right. I have never had such a warm, helpful and genuine interaction like this with any large company. I highly recommend this agency and asking for Sam to help you with your insurance needs. read more

I got tired of never really getting a real person with my old insurance company when dealing with a pressing issue. If I have a billing question or need to make a policy change, calling some 800 number is just the worst. So I made the switch to a local agent. These guys really made me feel heard and invited me in to get to know me and my situation. No one has taken the time before to really care about my needs. I highly recommend this team of competent, helpful insurance experts. From Jaymi their office manager to Carrie Jo the front desk gal they make you feel really welcome. Scott's got a great team! 10/10 Would definitely recommend. ​ read more
