I needed to replace my renters insurance; its annual premium had almost doubled from last year. I…read morealso needed to acquire earthquake insurance. I tried researching online on my own, but every company's site required me to answer *many* questions before it would give a quote, and I didn't know if I was checking with *all* available insurance providers. (Turns out I wasn't.) As it happened, I came across an article about finding insurance, and it recommended contacting an *independent* insurance broker, and that led me to finding Avail Insurance Solutions. Avail wound up finding a renter's insurance provider and one for earthquake coverage; the combined premiums totaled about the same as what my new, higher rate would have been for renters coverage only. So, I'm very happy with Avail's service.

We were in a challenging situation trying to secure a personal umbrella policy due to having a young driver and a prior at-fault accident, and our previous carrier was canceling our umbrella. I was speaking with a couple of agencies at the same time, and Jeff was by far the most responsive, proactive and resourceful. He clearly put in the effort to find a solution that actually worked for our situation, and he explained everything in a clear and straightforward way. He was able to put together a strong package for auto, home, and umbrella coverage with the right liability limits, and made the process smooth from start to finish. We're really happy and appreciative. I actually found Jeff through a Google search, and I honestly feel lucky that I did. If you're looking for an agent who is efficient, thorough, and looks out for your best interest, I highly recommend Jeff.

I had a terrible experience trying to receive a quote for homeowners insurance. Over the course of…read morea week, I needed to have multiple conversations with the agent to provide additional information. I am OK providing the necessary information but the process was very annoying because I frequently had to follow up with my agent to remind her to complete the next step. After about a week and a half, I stopped hearing from my agent about the quote she had promised. I reached out to her and asked if Farmers was going to quote my insurance. She said yes and yet another week has gone by with no contact from my agent. At this point I'd fed up with Farmers and don't want to do business with them. Overall, the company was very unprofessional! If they can't insure me, that's fine but please be up front about it. Otherwise, it's a waste of my and the agents time!

I rarely leave reviews, but I had to following my experience working with Maura at Sagacious…read more I was facing nonrenewal by my homeowners insurance, as so many Bay Area folks / Californians have been in recent years. Stressful to say the least! Maura calmly and expertly guided me through my options, and patiently answered my questions. I felt zero pressure simply to sell me anything. She was genuinely guided by my best interests. She also knows her stuff: she was aware of what was happening with my particular insurer in my region, and the industry generally. She generously shared her time and expertise with me, providing clear, actionable steps during a fraught moment. I didn't end up needing to get a new policy through Sagacious, but she helped me anyhow...who does that? Almost nobody. Also, compared to other insurance brokers I'd found through Yelp and contacted as well? Night and day difference in terms of knowledge, responsiveness, sound advice, and all around professionalism and peace of mind it gave me. So, when I actually do need to buy a new insurance policy of any kind, I'm contacting Maura at Sagacious, and also feel comfortable recommending her to friends and family.

I use the term "customer" liberally because she didn't do much but provide an over priced policy them bombard me with email marketing. On a daily basis I had a full inbox from her trying to sell me more insurance and other services. I can only imagine how high pressure she must be with you in her office. She emailed me dozens of times to tell me about the benefits of whole life insurance (oh yeah a product that is known to be a rip off for consumers and a commission gold mine for agents like herself). I hope she is just ignorant to how bad a product is and not just trying to sell high commission products. I asked her THREE times to take me off of her email blasts directly this was after I had used the unsubscribe button several times. She kept on assuring me this was a mistake but it seems the only way to get rid of her daily spam is to get a new policy with another company. If you want no service and to be seen as a revenue stream or just another lead to rip off with bad financial products go ahead pick Dahlia. She is Great!

This is probably the best insurance experience I've had. I was looking to cut cost without losing…read morequality of service. I had a lot of questions before I transferred over to Allstate. I wanted to understand what I needed and what wasn't necessary based on my personal situation. She took the time to explain the coverages available and I made the switch. Saved a few pennies too! I really appreciate the patience of explaining everything in detail to make sure I understood what I was paying for. I am very satisfied with my Home, Life and Vehicle coverages. I appreciate the level of customer service and follow up. After claims have been filed or if something comes up I always receive a phone call or email from their local office asking if I'm okay and if my needs were met even though I dealt with the 800 customer service line. Receiving calls like that at the time my car was involved in accident really made me feel good. I'm not just a policy number. They're on top of things there and it can be truly felt. It's awesome when they remember you when you call. Feels like a family business who remembers the regulars. Like "Cheer" where everybody knows your name! Though I have many good things to say about Dahlia and her Allstate team I'll mention one last thing. When I purchase new cars I get really nervous about what's offered by the dealer and what my policy already covers. Before I purchase a new car I call to find out how the purchase will affect my policy. But what I love most about this process is that when I drive my car off the lot it's insured bumper to bumper by Allstate because they make themselves available by email, fax, phone and text messaging even after business hours. I absolutely love, love, love the customer service! Thank you Dahlia and Team!
