I'm a small business owner in Bellevue, and I needed to make a change to my existing policy. The…read morebroker we started with was unresponsive and when he did respond, gave me information that seemed suspicious and would also have drastically increased my premiums. I called Dee at Pro Benefits and she jumped on helping us on the spot. Within an hour of our first conversation, she sent me an update on the steps she'd taken to look into a solution. All of this was in the middle of the COVID-19 early days of the shutdowns, and while she was working remotely. I felt like a valued client before I was ever an official client at all! By the end of the day I'll have officially ditched the other guy and switched to Pro Benefits. I have high standards for professionalism and service as a business owner myself. These folks impressed me.

I disagree with other comments posted and my experience spans 15 years and multiple policy changes over time.

Please read the other negative reviews. The terrible customer service is my primary problem with…read morethis business. When I was actually able to contact a live person in the past, I was read a canned, scripted response to my questions and concerns. Every time I call, without exceptions, I get voice mail. Some of the problem seem to be the complete lack of support from State Farm, and part of it is because of the very large turnover of employees at Mr. Nelson's agency. Most recently: I have been trying to get support for problems with my insurance billing for over a month. Numerous calls and emails were not responded to except one time. Yesterday I was fed up and switched insurance companies. I left a voice message AND sent an email to Mr. Nelson himself to cancel all of my State Farm policies and have received only a canned email message from Mr. Nelson to contact his team with my request. I am back with Geico (where I should have stayed all along) and paying much less for the same exact coverage. PS. The purpose of dealing with an agency is to get direct and personal customer service. This simply did not happen for me here.

I have spent months struggling with health insurance, red tape, and clerical errors that weren't…read moremine but left me without insurance. I was at my wit's end recently after being told that I had missed open enrollment (despite having applied before the deadline), and that I couldn't get an exception made. I have medications that I had to stop cold turkey months ago and have been without, and have been dealing with health issues I couldn't really afford to get care for because I was told I had to wait until November for open enrollment to start again. I posted on Facebook asking friends for advice, assuming it was pointless. But then one of them said I should look into a broker - an option I had no idea was available, nor that it was free. I looked through a list of brokers and found Gary Franke and his team; they sounded good, so I requested help from them. And thank god I did, because I tell you what - after months of metaphorically pulling my hair out over how stressful the runaround of insurance was, especially when I don't have much knowledge on the subject - Gary Franke and Heffernan Insurance Brokers had me squared away in a few emails and a single phone call. I couldn't believe how simple the process was. Gary got my information - how much I make a year, what exactly I'm looking for / need help with - and narrowed the insurance plans down to two that he said would be the most affordable and the most helpful for me based on my needs. Then all I had to do was choose from the two, let him know, and he got me enrolled and activated. No fuss, no stress. He was friendly, empathetic, understanding, and answered all of my questions thoroughly and without judgement - even the ones I personally thought were probably dumb questions. He was even willing to discuss my options with a family member that has been trying to help me with the process of getting on insurance, if she had any other questions she wanted to ask him. Even after I was on an active plan, Gary and his team have encouraged me to come to them if I have any further questions, and made sure I know they're available for any other advice I may need in the future. In conclusion, I literally cannot recommend Gary Franke and his team enough. They got done in less than a week - and only took as long as that because I had to make my choice on the plans and slept on it - what I was on the verge of a breakdown trying to do on my own for months. If any of the many people I had spoken to on the myriad of phone calls with WA Healthplan Finder, or any of the insurance companies, had just once suggested a broker, I could have escaped so much stress. If you're on the fence about a broker - do it. It's so worth it, and you can't go wrong with Heffernan Insurance Brokers, and Gary Franke and his team. They are extremely knowledgeable about all this stuff, and genuinely want to help you with what you need and where you're at. There's a reason they have so many 5-star reviews here; and I promise that those reviews are telling the truth, because I know mine is. Reach out to them. I promise you won't regret it.
