This is a review surrounding the quote process, as I ultimately didn't go with Spangler but had a great experience. I called for a quote and spoke with Cathy, who was very friendly and engaged. Out of all the insurance agents I spoke with, Cathy asked the most relevant questions and seemed to truly care to try and get us the best rates. She also genuinely seemed happy for our new first home. Cathy got back to me with quotes within a few hours. They were great quotes. Ultimately it didn't work for us as we went with our father-in-law's agent, but the rates were very competitive and the experience overall was great. I can tell this is a quality firm. read more

Our daughter recently moved from Pennsylvania to Washington state, and we were looking for some quality, caring, personal service in an insurance agent. We really lucked out in finding Spangler Insurance! Both Tom and Cathy were extremely helpful, very prompt in responses, and very willing to answer questions. They seemed to completely understand that a move is no easy matter and that we had lots of questions. But no worries ... Tom and Cathy took a confusing situation for us (a move to another state) and made the insurance part of that a simple matter. I would highly recommend Spangler Insurance! If you are looking for personal attention and a concern for customer satisfaction, you will find it here. read more

Brittanie was so incredibly nice and helpful! I highly recommend this place for your insurance needs. I was able to get a bit of a deal through Spangler for car insurance even as a young driver. read more

Tom was referred to us by a friend and we are so glad that we reached out to his office. We moved from California to Washington and needed to get renter's and car insurance quickly before the move. Tom moved quickly to get us great quotes. Within a couple hours the policies were done. We would highly recommend his office to anyone! read more

My husband and I discovered Spangler Insurance through my real estate agent when I bought my house in Kenmore in 2014. Our original insurance broker never seemed care about finding us a competitive rate, so we opted to work with Tom. Neither of us have met Tom personally. But over the years we've worked together, we always call or email him first to get competitive rates for our home, auto, motorcycle, and umbrella policies. Recently, my husband learned about a new service called gabi.com and even though we've been happy with what Tom has provided us, he decided to try it and see if we could find "cheaper rates" because we're big believers in the principle of "trust, but verify." He typed in everything (apples to apples), and believe it or not...the Safeco policy we have thanks to Tom is $239 less than gabi's "cheapest option" through Travelers. Bottom line: If you're looking for a professional with integrity that has your family's interest at heart, I recommend giving Tom's team at Spangler a call. You won't be disappointed. read more

Cathy is super nice and patient. We emailed each other dozens of times and felt very comfortable . And reply me very fast. Finally I purchased a year-long auto insurance per Cathy's suggestion to fix the great rate! That is an awesome job. Thanks Cathy! read more

I have insured my home/car with Spangler Insurance for 25 odd years now. I don't know how you can honestly rate an insurance agent until you need to make a claim, which thankfully has been a rare occurrence for me. However, Tom and his crew have been responsive to my needs, always available when I need to talk about coverage, even used their Notary Stamp when I needed it, even for non-insurance matters. He is my neighborhood insurance guy. read more

We talked about Yelp, Facebook, and YouTube. Could this be the one? Was Tom meant to be my insurance agent for life? I met with Tom after seeing a couple Maseratis drive around town. Those cars are expensive. Very expensive. I needed more insurance. Tom went out of his way to explain all of my insurance options. No pushy sales pitches at all, just great details about different types of coverage available. I ended up with exactly the product I wanted, even though I didn't even know combining limits on auto insurance was possible. Best of all, Tom is tech-friendly. He answers emails quickly and his clientele includes some of the earlier employees at local tech giants. So, it's OK if you're a little geeky. Would I recommend Tom? Absolutely. Go stop by his office -- he's a fantastic agent that earns a 5 star review without any reservations. read more

I just signed up for two policies with Spangler Insurance (renters and auto) and it was the easiest and friendliest process I've experienced with any insurance group. Brittanie Spangler assisted me on both policies, and her immediate responses, knowledge and thorough explanation of both policies put me right at ease! I felt taken care of throughout the entire process. Seriously cannot recommend Spangler Insurance enough. If I could give it more than 5 stars, I would! read more

After 13 years with State Farm I made the switch to Spangler Insurance for my car, and I am totally thrilled with my decision! I am saving around $30.00 a month w/Spangler! Yahoo! The staff there, Tom, Brit, and Dave, are wonderful and handle any issues or questions that I have (and I always have LOTS of questions) quickly and thoroughly! I'm a busy gal and I really appreciate that they are efficient and respect my time! Not to mention that they are extremely friendly. Oh! Lastly, we have our rental insurance through Spangler and they were incredibly helpful when I spilled a couple of gallons of motor oil in our storage unit, which subsequently seeped into the storage unit next door. They got back to us quickly and were able to address our questions and the questions are neighbor had. 5 STARS!!! read more

I started working with Tom when I bought my first house. He was so patient as I had a million questions. As we've worked together over the years adding cars and things he's always so responsive and helpful. Definitely recommend working with Spangler! read more

Tom helped answer my questions about a complicated insurance situation even though it was clear from halfway through the conversation that I wouldn't be able to purchase a policy from him. Thanks for taking the time to talk. read more

Tom is simply the best. Response to any question is answered almost immediately. Top notch, experienced, competent and trustworthy.

I have been with Spangler insurance forever! Why? Every time I call or refer a friend they are on it! They are friendly, helpful and know a lot about all kinds of insurance. They are honest and reliable. I will always refer my friends to call Tom, Cathy or Brittanie at Spangler insurance cause they will ALWAYS get you the best coverage for your needs! read more

We could not be happier with Spangler Insurance for our car and home insurance. They have great rates and even better customer service. They are always responsive to questions and quick to resolve any concerns. I definitely recommend them. read more

Very helpful and knowledgeable. I chose Tom as the insurance agent for my business...that says it all!

I just talked to Tom this morning. Super helpful. Really easy to talk to. He referred me to ask my current agent some more questions before proceeding which seems wise and I will take his advice. Would highly recommend Spangler agency. read more

Spoke with Tom today to get a quote for one of my homes that has had a couple of claims but only one paid out, the other was more or less an inquiry. He was so knowledgeable and helpful in making sense of all this for me and what my next move should be. He gave advice as an advisor not a sales guy! I really dig Tom! Thanks! read more

It is a privilege having Tom as our insurance agent. Not only is Tom competitive in terms of price, but Tom is incredibly quick, responsive and helpful. Tom understands that customer service requires fast and thoughtful communication. I could not imagine a more positive insurance experience read more

I have both my home owners and car insurance policies through the team at Spangler insurance, and they are simply the best! They are fast, thorough, friendly, and experienced. I always feel like they are looking out for my best interests as well as getting the most for my money. Tom walked me through the home buying process with ease, and when I unexpectedly needed to purchase a new car, Brittanie was able to immediately send me proof of insurance so I was prepared and had no hang ups at the dealership. I love working with a family run, dedicated team! read more

I recently changed my agent to Spangler Insurance and made some auto and other policy changes. Could not be more pleased with the helpful service provided by Tom, Catherine and Brittanie. Thoughtful, efficient and excellent advice and information for all of my policy questions. I needed some documents notarized and as a customer, that service is provided as well. I like the small neighborhood feel and personalized customer service. Highly recommend Spangler Insurance if you're in the market for an auto/home/umbrella/earthquake policy (and others too). They're terrific. read more

wonderful experience and service! super-responsive. this last part is important if involved in an accident if course. read more

We've been Spangler clients since 1974. It's always great to speak with a real agent for insurance questions of any kind; and, you know they're family...a family always there for you. read more

We have been using Tom for 16 years, and when I switched from the big anonymous AIG, I wondered if it would really make a difference. Best decision I ever made about insurance! Can't say enough nice things about the service, and he has your cost in mind, but also making sure you are with reputable/the best companies. Couldn't agree more with all the positive remarks made by all the rest! Definitely the best all around experience with getting insurance I've ever had, and I've been buying insurance for at least 40 years! read more

For someone who dreads even the *idea* of insurance, I went to Spangler based on another review here and the proximity to my Capitol Hill home. Tom made the experience as painless as possible. After years of being a completely unprotected renter, I walked out the door shortly after walking in with a reasonably priced *active* renter's insurance policy in my hand. Highly recommended. read more

I phoned Tom Spangler to learn about getting insurance using the Obamacare. He got rid of me as soon as possible after giving me, what I found out later, to be false information. read more

Tom is my insurance agent and I love him. He explains things well, provides good coverage and is always available. Give him a shot. I recommend him. read more
