I have been doing business with Palm Valley since I bought my condo 2 1/2 yrs. Recently I received…read morea "Thank you email" for renewing with them. Then a few days later I received information from my Mortgage company that the rate increased 50%. You can imagin it was a surprise, not mentioned in the thank you email. So I called the office wanting to speack with the person that sent the email. Keep in mind, this agency has not contacted me personally since I signed up with them. Anyway, the person was nopt available therefore I asked for a return call. I am here 5 days later, NO CALL. I can't take the risk with an insurance agent that does not return calls, what if I had a claim? They would probably not call then either. Bottom line, I am changing agents and low and behold at a better rate with the same Carrier Mercury. My opinion is, the management of this group doesn't care about my business. I recommend someone else, anybody else.

When I was in San Diego and left my laptop sitting on the curb as I loaded my clothes and go to Palm Springs, arrived in Palm Springs, and had no laptop (the curb was very happy that day to have a new friend) - Kimberly had the claim submitted immediately and I had a check within a week. 2. When I was in escrow selling my home in Palm Springs, and 5 days before the closing there were 65 mph winds that raced through Palm Springs and tore off 1/2 of the roof - Kimberly worked with us, the adjustor, and Allstate "corporate" to get a check to us to pay for the damages (check was even sent via FedEx), so that we were only 2 days over our escrow closing date. Regarding Allstate as a whole - we were asking for the 1/2 of the roof to be replaced - but they came back after the adjustor came out and said they were going to replace the ENTIRE roof - not just 1/2. Now that made me very happy - even though I wasn't going to be able to enjoy the new roof, but at least it was getting fixed, and then some.

I used this CPA/tax service after my spouse passed away and I needed help filing a relatively…read moresimple return. Unfortunately, my experience was very disappointing due to lack of transparency. At no point before the work was completed was I told what the fee would be. I was not given a quote, estimate, or engagement agreement to sign beforehand. When I came to pick up my return, I was asked to sign paperwork at the front desk to file my taxes, but there was still no discussion of the total cost or breakdown of services. The CPA did not personally explain anything and remained in his office while staff handled the transaction. I was charged $500, which was much higher than expected for a straightforward return. I would have appreciated clear communication about pricing before any work was started so I could make an informed decision. I'm sharing this so others know to ask for a written fee agreement upfront before using this service.

From the very beginning of the pre-approval process, Amy H. was very professional, timely and thorough in her handling of our financing. Amy was able to alleviate all of our stress that is so often associated with home financing. The entire team of Heidy, Yadira, Kristen and Amy were a delight to work with. They also were very patient with my nonstop bombardment of questions along the way. I will return to Van Mar Lending should I have another need for financing or refinancing in the future. Thank you team Van Mar!

I'm so glad I found Bean Counter. The name initially caught my attention (it's clever and memorable!), but the experience is what truly impressed me. I spoke with Kevin for an initial consultation, and he took the time to answer all of my questions thoroughly while providing a clear and reasonable fee estimate. He made the onboarding process simple by sending access to their secure client portal for document uploads. We later met in person, and Kevin walked through my return step-by-step, explaining everything in a way that was easy to understand. He asked thoughtful follow-up questions that ultimately resulted in a better outcome on my return. He also shared a bit about his family and background, which made the experience feel personal and comfortable -- something I really value when discussing finances. The office itself is spotless, with ample parking, and conveniently located near several great restaurants if you want to grab a meal before or after your appointment. My completed return was delivered the very next day, and throughout the process Kevin and his team were incredibly responsive -- always replying to emails within 24 hours, often within minutes. Professional, friendly, and highly competent -- I recommend Bean Counter.
