My husband and I opened up a restaurant a few years ago and had tried to purchase insurance…read moreindependently. Well, after a friend's restaurant burned down without proper insurance to rebuild, we revisited our policy and realized we didn't have adequate fire coverage either. We ended up seeking recommendations from others in the local industry and several mentioned Mike. Biggest pros: A real, live local person. Mike answers calls himself. You're not routed through some impersonal 800 number where someone in another state or country is trying to "pull up your account." Mike remembers you and provides that old-fashioned personal service that's hard to find these days. It has been so helpful to have a go-to person for all of our questions. In the end, Mike got us a plan that gave us a lot more peace of mind with a reasonable price. Definitely a 5/5 experience.

Mike has really been a good adviser so very happy with his recommendation on policy and limit amount.

Unfortunately, I have to come back and update my review after years of using Oliver's services and…read moresending at least two referrals his way. Oliver gave me dates and times he's available, and after I selected and confirmed a time, I was ignored for two days. When he finally responded, he told me that the appointment time was given away by his assistant. Despite it being "first come, first serve", the time I claimed first was given to someone who contacted them after me. Now he has no more evening appointments, because they were booked up during the two days he ignored me. The sooner I file my taxes, the sooner I can get my refund to put toward my kitchen remodel. I don't feel it's fair at all to tell me that I need to pick a new date and time, when I requested the booking first. I guess the person who got the appointment time was more important than me. Obviously, this was disheartening after all the business I brought this place between me and my referrals. ***In response to your comment Oliver, I understand that family emergencies happen. However, why am I the one that needs to pick an alternative date or time when I selected the date first? It should be the person that called after me that should reschedule... this is assuming that it's "first come, first serve "as you stated in your email. Second, I also have a client facing career. I recently had a medical emergency come up... that is not foreign to me. However, I utilize an out of office response as a means to notify my clients when there is an absence or extenuating circumstance. Had you set up an out of office encouraging clients to call your assistant to book an appointment, I would have most certainly done so. Instead you left me in the dark and booked someone else during my designated time. It's a lack of customer service that cost you my business. You booked someone else during my time, and instead of apologizing, you made excuses. Even in your response to this review, you state, "I'm sorry you felt..." instead of apologizing for your mistake. My feelings have nothing to do with it.

Then... nothing. After waiting about a week with no update, I finally hear back only to be told that the agent I had been dealing with doesn't even handle commercial auto insurance. That was literally the entire reason I contacted them in the first place. They said someone else would follow up, but that never happened. Super frustrating experience. If you're going to request sensitive documents and detailed info upfront, at least make sure you can actually handle the type of policy being requested. Total waste of time.

My experience with Mehdi was very unpleasant. When it came time to renew my home insurance with…read morehim, he lured me by urging me to also take out auto insurance with him, by promising an unbeatable rate. I therefore terminated my previous policy. When signing the new policy I discovered that the statements did not correspond to the truth, as it was stated that I had over 20 years of driving experience while I got my license four years ago. But Mehdi advised me to sign a FALSE declaration to benefit from the price. Obviously I refused, being afraid of not being covered in the event of an accident. Finally, the advertised price was 80% higher than the initial promise. This experience gives me the impression of something dishonest and amateurish. Mehdi has only one obsession, to sell you his policies without worrying about your interests. I will never work with him again nor recommend him. I'm now waiting for my refunds and consider reporting him to the CA department of insurance.
