Cory is highly personable and handles the needs expertly for not only myself, but others of my relatives. His office is efficient and they have reached out to help when there are problems! read more

I was lucky to find Cory when I started looking for a new insurance carrier for our house, a couple rental units, both cars, and an umbrella policy. We live up in the Summit Area and I had many many questions. Cory spent lots of time patiently going over coverage pros and cons and I ended up feeling confident with the policies I signed up for. I recommended Cory to a friend who signed up and was grateful for the referral. Recently, a condo unit above one of our rentals sprung a leak. It wasn't covered by State Farm, but Cory went the extra mile, working with the neighbor's claims agent and my property manager to work out an equitable (and non-obvious) solution. I've worked with a lot of agents over the years and no one has ever delivered that kind of service before. read more

Cory & his team run an excellent agency & we have enjoyed working with for all our personal insurance needs for 37 years. We recently had a collision claim during the major storm we had in December & they assisted us through the claims process & with the National claims advisors to get our claim finalized promptly, including making sure our rates didn't go up. We highly recommend them & are glad to have them! read more

After Dennis Cunningham passed away over the summer I was slightly nervous about who would take over his business....I was thinking of switching companies but thankfully Cory has been awesome. He took the time to meet with all of Dennis' old clients and has a lot to bring to the table. Extremely patient and well versed in State Farm's financial aspects Cory has been a pleasure to work with. He is low pressure with his financial presentations and I greatly respect that... usually folks are pushy. In dealing with a recent accident the team was totally on it and as usual.... taking care of everything. Still a State Farm customer :-) read more

Cory and his office staff are great. They are almost always available when you call and, if not, will quickly return your call. They are friendly, courteous, and knowledgeable. Cory reaches out regularly to review my policies to ensure they are adequate for my needs. I've been with him for over 20 years and couldn't be happier. read more

Almost a decade ago as a new driver, I joined my family's insurance experts with the folks at Cory McElwee's Statefarm office. It is fantastic to be able to call an agent with a local area code instead of a 1-800 #. In the last 9 years I've had two deer jump in front of me, been rear ended, and had my car catch on fire on dry grass in the summer. Cory and his team always fought for coverage on my end, and always picked up the phone when I called. When having to wait for Statefarm corporate for the fire issue, I called almost twice a day for a month. I never heard an ounce of frustration or impatience from anyone at the office, even while I was definitely worried. They calmed me down and have always guided me in the right direction for my issues and coverage options. Other providers may be competitive in price, but absolutely no one is as competitive when it comes to service. I was so appreciative of Cory, Matt, Jeanie, and everyone else at that office in Saratoga. I highly, highly, highly recommend! read more

We have all of our insurance with Cory's State Farm office and could not be happier with the high level of service and sincere help and consideration we receive. They have helped us manage through multiple auto claims, they re-evaluate our auto and home policies every year to ensure that we have the right level of coverage while minimizing our premiums, and they recently helped us manage through moving my mother's insurance from AAA to State Farm--a process that has been fraught with problems. And every step of the way they have been there to help, even when the responsibility for the trouble was not theirs. If you are looking to make a change--I highly recommend that you call Cory's office and speak with either he or Matt. You will not be disappointed. read more

Matt at Cory McElwee State Farm helped us create several personal and business insurance policies. They deliver great customer service and very comprehensive, competitive policies. read more

I came over from the UK and stayed in the US for two years. I insured both my cars with Cory McElwee and they spent a lot of time helping me navigate the American insurance system. Sean Gioiosa deserves a special mention. He always worked really hard to get me the best deal and really helped to bridge the UK and US systems with help and advice. He always knew my name as soon as I spoke and it really felt like excellent customer service. I cannot recommend them highly enough. read more

I called in for an auto quote and got to talking with some of the staff. Angela helped me; she was funny and seemed very knowledgeable. I didn't even know all the products they had to offer at State Farm. I ended up getting my auto insurance through them, renter's policy, and pre-approved for the new car that I was shopping for. read more

I've had StateFarm insurance for years- When Dennis passed away last year, Cory McElwee called to introduce himself. He suggested I come in to put a face to a name. I eventually made it in, and I'm so glad I did. It was such a pleasure to finally meet Angie, who's always been so friendly and helpful. I had no idea that StateFarm does financial planning. My finances were a huge mess, with IRAs and savings accounts all over the place. Cory helped to consolidate all my accounts and worked with me on the life insurance process. I am so relieved to have my future secure and my assets at my fingertips. Cory and his team are the epitome of customer service, and I'm fortunate to have them in my corner. Susan S read more

Cory and his team are fantastic. I've worked with them on securing and modifying my business insurance over the past year. They're responsive, pleasant to work with and make the process incredibly easy. I appreciate their professionalism and ease. It's always been a positive experience. read more

Cory has been incredibly helpful in the handful of years I've worked with him, whether it was in person or over the phone. He has worked with my family for years and has always been there when something goes wrong - and when it does, he is there stepping me through the process. I've handled about 5 insurance claims through him so far, all of which had some snag caused by an external party (claims dept, glass company, body shop, etc) and he has handled them all and saved me a huge headache. He follows up diligently and pushes things through to completion, and i appreciate it. Thanks Cory! read more

Living in the Los Gatos Mountains has proven to be cumbersome finding a great insurance partnership. If you live in my area you know what I mean. Simply put Corey and Matt really knocked it out of the park for me on my home, auto and umbrella. Outstanding service and rates! Thanks guys! read more

The company I work for is a vendor of insurance companies. This requires me going into a lot of insurance offices in the area. Cory Mcelwee office is one of my favorite stops. They show an extreme amount of character with a smiling and winning attitude. They have a true concern of their clients. They create custom options for each individual client needs. Keep up the AMAZING work! read more

Cory and his team form a great team to work with. When I moved over to bay area, he took care of my insurance needs very well and always responds to your queries promptly. He has really impressed me with his command on the insurance subject and makes every effort to customize insurance needs specific to customer needs. A true professional with very courteous staff. read more

Didn't provide full information for claim. Had to put in the request 3 times before he helped read more

I honestly never expected to be so excited to write a review for insurance of all things, but here we are :) Cory's team is truly OUTSTANDING. Whatever your level of knowledge, they always take the time to explain your options in a friendly and helpful way and help you to get what you need at very reasonable rates. They're also willing to answer any and all questions, have incredibly fast response rates to voicemails and emails, are well-organized, and super helpful. They're also very responsive in tough situations (e.g., when someone hit my car, they responded immediately and clearly outlined my options for pursing the claim) and have some of the best customer service I've ever experienced. I can't recommend Cory and his team enough. They actually make insurance a pleasant and fun experience. read more

Cory McElwee isn't just an extraordinary Insurance agent at State Farm, he is an extraordinary person. The time, interest, effort, knowledge, expertise and sincerity he gives his clients is rare and quite incredible. When someone is passionate about what they believe in and what they do, it benefits everyone involved. Cory's priority in helping protect our lives and the people and things in our lives is genuine. He takes it seriously, and takes the time to educate us in the process. I took my 16 year old son (who just got his driver's license) to see him yesterday to discuss the seriousness of becoming a new driver and the implications that are involved---especially for teenagers. The insurance changes; the laws that surround their age group; how it impacts us as a family; liabilities; and a powerful, real-life video of teenagers who didn't adhere to the driving laws & tragedy struck. Not to mention Cory's own "personal" touch of being very honest, factual, candid, and kind throughout. My son walked away from Cory feeling respected, cared about, much more aware & knowledgeable and motivated to take driving very seriously---that it is a "privilege and not a right". Thank you Cory for who you are, and all you do. You do make a huge difference. Respectfully, Jill read more

These guys are very proactive and fast. I asked Helen M about liability insurance for my business. Initially she asked for my address details. But before I could send her the details she already sent me a quote. She had used my business card, looked at my web site, found the address and generated a quote based on that. She also followed up by getting in touch with another agent for my professional liability insurance. Now I am planning on using them for my auto and home insurance as well. read more

Cory and his staff are helpful and friendly. I live out of the area and have found it very easy to call and email them with questions or whatever I need. Cory is always extremely patient in answering all my questions. I pretty much randomly picked him from the list of agents in the area to call, but it turned out great. I'm really happy with their service. read more

I'm a small business owner that was simply trying to find a better premium for my insurance - now I get letters on Audits and fees for requests for certificates of insurances - my past carrier just handled -I currently found out that my current policy was written up by a subordinate - none of these matters were presented when I was shopping around - currently feel that this company only is interested in my cash not service -disappointed and going back to Hartford read more

I am a small business owner and have been using them for the past couple of years for my policy. I have had nothing but amazing, prompt, helpful service, and they have gone above and beyond to help me. I often need extra permits that require odd and nit-picky insurance requests, and they always get it done quickly for me. I am so glad that I found this wonderful team! read more
