"Ralph Velasquez at State Farm has been incredibly helpful, professional, and responsive. He guided us through getting the right coverage and made it easy for my dad, a senior Spanish speaker, to contact him directly. Having a local office is a big plus. I highly recommend him if you’re looking for great insurance service and someone you can trust."
We responded:
"Sandy, I’m so glad Ralph was able to help your dad, especially since he prefers speaking Spanish. Being helpful, professional and responsive is always our goal. We look forward to working with both of you and appreciate you taking the time to write a review. Tammy Dobrotin, State Farm Agent"

"Very responsive at all times, well-priced insurance. As soon as State Farm writes HO policies in California again, I’ll likely switch back, as my new policy is 80% more for identical coverage."

"Like many, we were concerned about all the news about State Farm dropping current customers. During our annual review, our agent explained the criteria used in determining which customers would be cut. Luckily, we didn't fall into those categories and we were assured that we were safe, at least for the coming year. Of course, premiums did go up significantly, but not to the gouge level of Farmer's, which caused us to leave them last year. So far, we are happy with both our local agent and State Farm. Update: Tammy called to schedule an annual review of all of our insurance needs and we made some tweaks to all of our policies. Really appreciate her pro-active stance and professional advice."
We responded:
"So glad we were able to alleviate your concerns and help you with your homeowners insurance. "

In recent years, we have enjoyed working with Tammy Dobrotin, who is conscientious and friendly. State Farm for property and auto insurance is highly recommended by us."
We responded:

"At State Farm, I can always count on Ralph Velasquez to give me great advice and peace of mind. Rarely do I need to call about my insurance, but this past year I have had several instances come up where I needed Ralph's guidance and expertise. One case had to do with mold in our rental unit. When I asked Ralph to recommend a company for mold remediation, he knew who I should call. The company did a stellar job. His recommendation helped save me much work and worry. Thank you, Ralph! This past month there were two more events which caused me great concern and not a little distress. Ralph not only knew what steps I should take, but also ---- once again ---- patiently persuaded me that State Farm had my back. And, as always, Ralph listened and calmed my fears. Whenever I have to call State Farm, I ask for Ralph specifically. He has proved to me, over and over again, that it's "not what you know, but who you know." Ralph ---- you're The Best. Thank you for always being there for me."
We responded:
"Such kind words - thank you! So happy you appreciate that we have been available and eager to assist. It is our pleasure."
