I have been a loyal Shepherd Insurance customer for over 20 years, and my experience with them - along with Liberty Mutual/Safeco - has been nothing short of appalling.
When I filed a claim, I expected support and advocacy from my account manager, Sara Taylor, and from Shepherd Insurance as a whole. Instead, I was repeatedly ignored, dismissed, and left to deal with the mess entirely on my own. Despite multiple attempts to stay in contact, Sara failed to respond or assist me, showing a complete lack of professionalism and care for a long-standing client.
Shepherd Insurance clearly prioritizes protecting its relationships with insurance companies like Liberty Mutual and Safeco over representing the interests of paying customers. This became painfully obvious as they continually deflected responsibility and refused to advocate on my behalf. After decades of trust, I was treated as though my business meant nothing.
Liberty Mutual/Safeco compounded the frustration with their mishandling and denial of my homeowners claim. They issued inconsistent and misleading justifications, delayed communication, and showed a blatant disregard for their contractual obligations and for me as their insured. Instead of support, I faced stonewalling, misrepresentation, and bad faith practices.
After this experience, I cannot in good conscience recommend Shepherd Insurance, Liberty Mutual, or Safeco to anyone. Their lack of accountability, professionalism, and basic customer service is disgraceful. I will be moving my business elsewhere and strongly advise others to think twice before trusting these companies with their home, property, or peace of mind. read more
