This year, just as I was panicking about the urgent need to find a new insurance agent in the midst of my divorce (my husband's friend had been our point of contact for years), my own friend Annie serendipitously posted her new Blanket Insurance Group business card. I've been acquainted with Annie for a long time through our professional singing careers, and she had already offered generous support and understanding to me during the past couple of difficult years. I hadn't known this was her husband's business, and it was an overwhelming relief and truly an answer to prayer to discover I could call on them for help with this.
I do not trust easily, and I have fine-tuned my intuition when it comes to judging character. I can say without reservation that Annie and Mark are some of the most genuine, honest, caring people I've met since I moved to the Austin area 13 years ago. I would have trusted them with my baby if I'd known them back then. I honestly think they would have helped me find insurance even if they weren't insurance brokers. They have gone above and beyond for me this year. Calling Annie erased all my anxiety about shopping for new auto and homeowner's policies. On top of everything else, Annie and Mark also managed to save me hundreds of dollars a year--even with the same levels of coverage written by a well-known carrier. At a time when I'm pinching pennies, that's not just a convenience, but a mercy.
There are a lot of choices out there when it comes to insurance, but I can't imagine gambling with online comparison sites when there are warm and dependable human beings willing to look out for me. I'm confident that if I have questions or need to file a claim, I'll be able to reach them and not a phone tree. I'm a private person and don't leave many public reviews, but I've had an exceptional experience with this local family business. If you're looking for a change, I highly recommend you give Mark and Annie a try. read more
