"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."
"Such kind words - thank you! So happy you appreciate that we have been available and eager to assist. It is our pleasure."

"Thank you Charlie! I’m happy to be your new agent and appreciate the opportunity to review your coverages and options. Looking forward to many years together in the future. "

Our family will definitely be switching to State Farm for our other insurance needs. Thanks Kess!"

"He tenido mi póliza de seguro de vida y de vehículo con State Farm a través de la oficina de Tammy Dobrotin durante muchos años. Estoy extremadamente contenta con su servicio al cliente, siempre disponible para atender o devolver mis llamadas y ayudarme a comprender si estoy confundida por algún motivo o si necesito una cotización para un nuevo servicio. ¡Nuestro agente Rafael Velasquez siempre esta feliz de ayudar en español para que podamos entender mejor! ¡El departamento de reclamos de State Farm también ha sido excelente cuando hemos tenido que lidiar con un reclamo! ¡Recomiendo la oficina de Tammy a cualquiera que hable español o inglés!"
"Gracias, Sophía! Agradecemos que te hayas tomado el tiempo de compartir tus experiencias con nuestra oficina. El seguro de automóvil y el seguro de vida pueden ser complicados, por eso me alegra que te sientas cómodo para hacer preguntas. ¡Por eso estamos aquí!"

"Tammy, Ralph, and Kess have been making sure my insurance needs are being met after my previous agent retired and I transitioned to their office. I especially appreciate Tammy's eye for detail and willingness to provide background information so I can understand how important certain details are. One added plus is Tammy often writes up an email summary of our meetings so I have a history and reminder of issues/decisions we've discussed. Greatly appreciated and certainly value added!"
"I am thrilled you find our follow up process an added value. We are here to explain the ins and outs of insurance. That is why you have us!"

"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."
"So glad we were able to alleviate your concerns and help you with your homeowners insurance. "

They have been extraordinarily helpful, have gone so far beyond the scope of their jobs to make sure everything is taken care of, and are so compassionate and caring. If you want to be treated, like family, and know you have a team you can completely trust, this is the one for you."
"We truly appreciate working with you and your kind words! We strive to take care of your insurance needs with compassion and care. So glad that’s been your experience. "

"I recently decided to change my auto insurance because my old insurance went up so much and I couldn't get a hold of my agent. I reached out to them after business hour and they still got back to me so fast! I stopped by the next morning , and Ralph helped me set up a new policy right away. He took the time to explain everything to me thoroughly, and I now have better coverage and am paying less! By the way, their office has parking and so clean, and the staff are so friendly! Now patiently waiting for Statefarm to reinstate rental insurance for us Californians."
"Welcome! I’m so glad you appreciated our service and the office. We look forward to helping you more in the future too!"
