My entire life I used the most prominent name in insurance for all my/our needs---auto, home, etc…read more As their premiums rose, I became concerned. Every time I saw their inundation of tv ads...Patrick Mahomes, Andy Reid, naming rights for our local arena, etc...it led me to research what they spend annually...more than $1 billion. Why? I became unhappy I was subsidizing this seeming overspend. Looked locally when another increase came my way. There they were/are...local...customer-focused and at a reduced rate with some additional coverage for home, car rental, etc. Was somewhat familiar with our eventual choice...Auto Owners and now a year later have found Harrington to be a very smart choice at every metric. Comforted by knowing what to expect from them, the service they provide. Not many may sing the praises of their insurance quest...but I certainly will.

They dont like immigrants/accent…read more.. I called them up for a homeowners quote on 4/11/2019. The lady who initially took the call was very POLITE. I was told that a male agent (can't recall his name anymore) will call me back soon. In few minutes sure enough an older guy called me back. After a few sentence it was obvious to me that he is an old seasoned pro, doing this job forever. VERY EXPERIENCED!!!. He took the needed information. He did not say anything unprofessional but it was CLEAR that there is some subtle dislike towards me. I did not object on it., I did let it go.... He asked me if I own my house?...I told him I did...."Are you sure?".....I said I know that I own it....."Is it paid off?"...."Yes Sir, it is. It is free and clear".... "Hmmm" he said. It was pretty weird. Many people have paid off houses. At that point I knew that something set him off. Agents wanting your business will say something like this: " I will call you back with a quote in few hours". Or something along those lines. Not him! He said: "I know your email, I will email you IF I can help you".....I was 110% sure that I wont hear from him again. Sure enough there was no news from him. I am an immigrant living in the States for 20+ years. I own 2 houses. My credit is 840. I never filed an insurance claim in my life. I have a pretty good command of English. SO ANY INSURANCE COMPANY/BROKER SHOULD BE ABLE TO PROVIDE ME A QUOTE WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM. CONCLUSION: the "gentleman" disliked my accent more than he liked the easy money he could have made offering me a policy. I reached out to them 3x via their website asking what happened. Trying to find out why he never gave me a quote. The 3rd time I voiced the suspicion ( remained well mannered) that the old guy has discriminated against me bc I am an immigrant. They never got back to me to discuss the matter. NOT ONCE! I did let them know that I will write a review. They ignored it, no calls or email response from them. I HOPE THIS REVIEW WILL HELP SOMEONE IN THE FUTURE . IF YOU HAVE AN ACCENT PERHAPS IT IS WISE TO TAKE YOUR BUSINESS SOMEWHERE WHERE IT IS WANTED.
