I would (and do) recommend Bryan Larsen, and his office to everyone! I've worked with Kathy for…read moreyears, and she is fantastic! Any time I call I get immediate assistance with whatever I need. If, on the rare occasion I get voicemail when I call, I always get a call back within minutes. Everyone who works there is knowledgeable, and have gone out of their way to look for ways to help me save money. They present me with options, and educate me on terms, potential outcomes, and any pros/cons to consider. A few years ago we had two significant homeowners insurance claims. The response was fast, and hassle free. It could not have gone any smoother on their end. It was by far the easiest part of that whole ordeal. Several family members use Bryan's agency, and we are all extremely satisfied with their service, and sincerity.

If I could rate this agent less than 1 star, I absolutely would. In Feb. 2015 I was relocated to…read moreUtah from Indiana for work. Since my husband was wrapping things up in Indiana, we moved our State Farm policy over as needed. First was Renters Insurance. I initially worked with a woman named Kathleen who transferred me to a young lady name Mary. The renters policy was set up but never sent to my Landlord as requested so I was charged from State Farm AND from the Apartment Complex for renters insurance. After about an hours worth of phone calls, this was rectified. My husband brought my vehicle out in March. We tried to add that to the policy or get the existing SF policy transferred to UT. Because we were splitting one car off of our IN policy until my husband was able to move out to Utah (after selling our homes), Bryan Larsen wanted to charge us 80% MORE for car insurance. We left my car insured in IN along with my husbands as we could not afford this. In September my husband moved out to Utah and we switched the entire policy over. I expected possibly a slight increase in price but Bryan Larsen increased our prices by approximately 60%. After several hours and phone calls back & forth with Mary, we finally got the price where it should be. Bryan Larsen's agency refused to honor my husbands grandfathered in ten year, accident free discount which is significant. After tons of back and forth, they would only acknowledge it for my husbands car even though he's a driver on BOTH vehicles. This of course required several more phone calls and a hours of back and forth. Finally this was all straightened out. In Oct 2015, I refinanced one of our vehicles through a Local (to Utah) credit union. I immediately sent Mary the documents so she could update the lien holder. I found out in April 2016 she never did this. The way I found out was because the Credit Union drafted my car payment for $200 to cover CPI insurance for the Months State Farm couldn't verify coverage. It took over a dozen phone calls by BOTH my husband and me, three re-submissions of the same documents and several hours to get this straightened out. The 1st submission of the documents weren't signed by the agent. The 2nd submission said our coverage began March 28th 2016 when is started in Feb. 2015 and the 3rd set didn't even have the Credit Union as the Lien Holder. We decided to move to another agent who handled the move. We heard nothing at all from Bryan Larsen or his staff. No apologies for the 14 months of non-stop headaches with them. No 'can we try and salvage your business'.....nothing. I'm appalled. We wouldn't have stayed with them regardless, but the courtesy of a VERY WELL DESERVED phone call would have at least resulted in a good review of their agency. I would at all costs avoid this agency.

To all D2D sales people who are potentially looking for a service to help you with your taxes. Keep…read morelooking. These guys are a joke. They hit me up on my instagram told me they were better than the service I was already using. They set up a meeting and in the meeting they said we are amazing about communication. That is something you don't get at your current guy. So I took the leap. And everything since then has been an absolute nightmare!! First they started by setting up my direct deposit with their payroll system with ADP. Which doesn't seem like a big deal but what it means is now they have the ability to withdrawal money from your account with ease at anytime whenever they want. And better yet they will give you 0 warning when they do. The day before a huge trip I had $750 taken out of my account without warning. First they will act like it's not a big deal. Then they will give you a crap excuse and explanation and when you ask for an invoice they let ADP take the blame. $750 bucks is one thing. A whole other thing is the random $5, $7, $12, $89, $125 charges that happen like every week. At this point I'm so confused by what's going on that I'm calling and texting them trying to get to the bottom of things. And they let me know some of those are valid charges and some are accidental and will be refunded. With the last person I used for taxes they had me fill out a single page paper questionnaire and then they literally did all the work sent me the itemized invoices. It was simple easy and I didn't have to do any work. These guys. Will ask you to do a new chore every week on different softwares you've never explored. When you're doing the recruiting game and have no time for this type of stuff it's pretty frustrating to be told over and over that you need to do a bunch of chores for them. And God forbid you ever show any disdain for having to do all of this work for them. They will belittle you and tell you that it's not a lot and that it is all easy work. Yeah maybe if you went to school for accounting for four years dude. No my experience with these guys was absolutely horrible. I recommend everyone stay as far away from them as possible especially if you're in D2D. As sales people we pay people to take care of our taxes not to make us feel small, belittle us, shame us for not knowing how to run their complex softwares (that claim over and over again are so easy), or shame us for not having a crazy amount of time to do the ton of chores they give you, and then the worst part is all the random charging of your accounts, total lack of transparency and lack of itemized invoices. I have since talked to several accounts while search for a new one. I have let them read every message sent between me and these guys. These separate accountants have said that they believe it is asinine that TAG tax would use ADP for payroll on an LLC that employs one person. On a massive company it makes sense. They also said that they think it's crazy there are random charges that need to be refunded. I get that people make mistakes but it's more the lack of accountability and pointing the blame to ADP constantly rather than saying maybe it's our fault for using this payroll in the first place. This other accountant said that you don't need payroll that often and certainly not at that price. They warned me to get out while I could because these guys were not just overcharging me but actually running me to the ground. Bottom line these guys treat you like garbage. Talk down to you. Charge you without your permission. Run you for a loop for your money. It's ridiculous and no one should do business with them without reading this first. And I will make sure that the D2D space is aware of this scam before giving these dudes a dime.

We didn't know much about reverse mortgages and didn't know it could be used to purchase a house. Chad explained how it could be done. One of us had to be at least 62 and we needed about half the price of the house to put down. We never make another payment, therefore we were able to leave that money invested. The application process is not always smooth, so it's important to have someone like Chad who is well versed in the process and knows many ways to get it done. Every time we encountered a problem, he knew of at least three ways to solve it. He was wonderful. We got the loan, never make another payment, and are able to keep our money invested in other projects. We highly recommend Chad Peck.
