It's pretty rare that I write a rating on an insurance agency but the gentleman I worked with was…read moretruly a standout and I had to comment on it. I previously filled out a request for an online insurance quote for my car insurance. I received a return phone call from Anthony D'Angelo. We got into a conversation and he quoted me both car and motorcycle insurance premiums that were lower than what I had through Allstate and Mercury. But the best part was his patience level and willingness to answer questions. He was also incredibly honest about other companies--their pros and cons. He really went above and beyond to address my concerns, answer questions, and explain everything. I haven't found that before in an insurance carrier. He wrote up both policies over the phone and even sent me the binder and coverage cards via email after we hung up. I was so impressed with this guy. Give Anthony a call. He's terrific and very helpful. The insurance industry needs more people like him!

However, after 6 months they increased my auto insurance by over 20%. They had convinced me to sign up for the "easy pay" plan to save $25 per billing cycle, turns out it's just a way to keep you from checking their rate hikes. I caught the proposed increase and brought it to their attention. The staff I spoke to said, "that can't be right, I'll get back to you once I figure it out!". Only to call me back an hour later, exasperated that "these claims, they keep coming in...". As if that is a reasonable excuse for an unprecedented price hike. I explained that i would change companies. They became very rude and curt, quickly suggesting that I should shop around and they'd be sorry to lose me. Geico offered me the same rate I was paying for the same coverage. I cannot urge you strong enough, these guys have bad business practices. They are rude and unprofessional, and to top it off they'll Rob you blind! TL;DR: Rude and overpriced theives.

They were a good insurance agency when we signed up a year ago with Erie insurance. Then after a…read moreyear they sent us a letter saying that we would be switched to MetLife insurance. We received a letter with a quote from MetLife and it was more money then Erie. The Houpis agency decided not to be brokers for Erie and just decided to switch people to another insurance without consulting us. I didn't want to be switched to MetLife so I left a message with my agent at Houpis, Weisberg and Scharff stating that I didn't want to switch. I still got mailings from MetLife making it seem like I was going to be switched. We ended up going to a different Erie insurance broker.

When I moved my insurance policies over to R Hobbs I immediately saved approximately 30%. The savings was huge! Chris and Lynn at R Hobbs are wonderful people and easy to work with. Very professional!! The difference is their agency is a brokerage and they can shop around insurance policies across many insurance companies to try and get their clients not only the best insurance coverage but also a better price than the captive agents. I should have moved my insurance to R Hobbs long before I did and I would have saved even more. I highly recommend R Hobbs Insurance.
