I was referred to Riley after closing on a commercial property. Business insurance is a must. I was…read moredreading the process because of my bad experience with insurance brokers in town. BUT I was shocked by how responsive and empathic Riley was. He clearly communicated his schedule, made himself available through text, answered when I called, and responded to every question and concern. He even listened to my business needs and created a custom commercial insurance plan...that was AFTER he spent the time to research my business thoroughly. He's a Santa Barbara native, born and raised, and it shows. He's proud of his work and cares about the businesses in our community. I often walk by his office and see him at his desk. He's like an old school, small town agency. And he actually shows up to work. I am waiting for the day California finally gets its act together and allows Farmers to write home insurance again, because I've decided I'm moving everything to Riley, back from AAA. His accessibility, honesty, friendliness, and pride in his work is worth any premium over AAA.

Other agents may not work over the weekend or respond as fast as him. He also took the time to explain the terms or coverage we didn't understand. If something happens to your home or car wouldn't you want your insurance agent to be knowledgeable and respond ASAP instead of within the week? If so, Riley is your man.

Today I spent several hours changing and combining my insurance with Daryl My Insurance Guy! He not…read moreonly helped me by combining my home and auto insurance, but added an earthquake and an umbrella policy because of the discounts it provided. When I switched my auto from Geico (Renewing at $600/mo - with new young driver) to Farmers with Daryl, he was able to provide me more coverage and peace of mine for minimal increase. It was a no brainer - especially being with Farmers and not a discount company hoping they would pay. With many years in the personal injury space, Daryl helped me understand more of how my auto coverage works to protect me from those who are looking for the cheapest insurance payment and not all full coverage is not created equal. As Daryl shared with me, "Insurance is there for when it messes up your life, not your day." And I can tell you after really learning from Daryl how and why insurance is important, I'm happy and confident I worked with him and his team because of the value and insight he brings to the conversation, his level of care and attention and not willing to cut corners. Now as a mom of two and business owner of Access to Justice - a legal document assistant (Trust, legal filings, etc.), I now have a lot of peace of mind when I'm away from my house or on the road. I'm confident that is something where to happen-insurance related or not, I can reach out to Daryl and his team for any type of assistance. While we worked, I learned a lot about him. He is an honest and honorable man - something you don't see too often anymore. Not only did he help me with my insurance - he gave me a lot of tips for running my social media, how to collaborate with other business owners to increase awareness of my business and build stronger client relationships. Daryl Dean Santos you're a class act! Definitely my go-to recommendation for any home, auto, life, and business insurance needs. I recommend you to parents, homeowners, and business owner for insurance just for your honesty and being an honorable man. Your emails share your company's core values: Trust, Service, and Development at the bottom of your signature and you - and I'm sure your team - definitely display those. You taught me that there are great men out there. I'm just looking in the wrong places. Daryl and his wife just had twins so let's congratulate them, ask god for peace, love, patience, and health for their family. Amen.

Called fiesta this year in February to see what was going on and if I could get any help with the matter, the woman I spoke to let me know that they were not submitted and she just submitted them for me so getting off the phone I thanked her and went about my day. A couple weeks later I received a letter from the IRS regarding all the late fees I owed for them not being submitted when I filed them. I went back into the location and the girl let me know where was no manager on duty she took down my information and said she would have him get back to me. I have now been given the run around for a phone call back from a supervisor for two months now, some of the employees who I had spoken to letting me know the regional manager already stated I would be getting a return for the services that were provided(or lack there of). Today I spoke with Veronica after being on hold for about 20 minutes because I was not going to trust another we will have them call you back situation, she looked into my file stated her notes say they were submitted originally and rejected because they had to retrieve more information from me regarding taxes, then that they were submitted on the date I called the first time. I let her know there is absolutely no way of that being the case because I had to call to get any sort of update and have them actually submitted which the girl told me they were never submitted in the first place I received no notification from the IRS or fiesta that I needed to provide additional information and I also had been trying to contact the guy who did my taxes to see if he could check on the status for me because the IRS website was telling me I never filed. Veronica then notified me the only thing she would be able to do for me is do my taxes for free this tax season which I politely declined, I am not able to receive any sort of refund for the services provided nor the late and penalty fees I'm having to deal with now. Ridiculously unprofessional and will never be recommending or going there again. Guy who did my taxes was named Diego! Currently this situation is being handled they called on Friday stating they would refund me for service provided, interest, and late penalty fees from the IRS. 3/31/25 Update they did end up issuing a refund for services provided and late/ penalty fees + interest.
