I live in a 1976 ranch style house that had not been well maintained or updated (original siding…read moreand gutters, dated fixtures and cabinets, awful carpet throughout). I've been slowly repairing, maintaining, and upgrading everything in the house as time and resources allowed, but I needed some extra cash for some of the larger projects around the home. I was directed by two coworkers that had used Venture in the past with great success, so I met with Tony Benallo and we discussed my options. I ended up with a mortgage that was about $200 a month more than I had been paying, but my credit cards and two home improvement loans were paid off entirely, saving me several hundred dollars a month at a much better interest rate. My mortgage insurance was also eliminated. Diane Tappy helped me through the entire process, and while doing anything involving a mortgage or refinance isn't entirely fun, it was relatively painless thanks to her expertise. I would absolutely recommend Venture to anyone looking to refinance their home. Tony and Diane helped me find what was right for me, and I'm excited to finish the remodel thanks to them.

Brian Manning - A Prime Example of Unprofessional, Rude, and Arrogant Behavior…read more My recent encounter with Brian Manning was one of the worst experiences I've ever had with a supposed professional. From the moment we began our interaction, he made it clear that he has no interest in being respectful, courteous, or even remotely professional. His demeanor was dripping with arrogance, and it felt as though he looked down on me the entire time. First and foremost, Brian has an unbelievably rude attitude. Instead of answering my questions or attempting to provide any helpful information, he dismissed me outright as though my concerns were irrelevant. Whenever I tried to clarify something or ask for further explanation, he would cut me off, acting like he was too busy or too important to be bothered. It was shocking to be spoken to in such a demeaning tone by someone who claims to be a professional. His arrogance was next-level. Brian acted as though he was the smartest person in the room, belittling my inquiries and making me feel like an idiot for asking what should have been basic questions. Rather than providing clear or thoughtful answers, he seemed to take pleasure in making the process as difficult and confusing as possible. He went out of his way to be vague, and when I asked for clarification, he responded with sarcasm and condescension. What's worse is his blatant disregard for professionalism. At several points during our conversation, he spoke to me in such a dismissive and mocking way that I was left speechless. His behavior was entirely out of line for someone in his position. I can't understand how someone so unprofessional can hold any role that requires customer or client interaction. Brian also seemed entirely unbothered by the fact that he was coming across as rude and disrespectful. In fact, he seemed to relish in it, as if treating people this way gave him some kind of power trip. It's baffling that anyone with this attitude would be trusted to work with others, as he clearly has no respect for anyone but himself. In summary, my experience with Brian Manning was deeply frustrating and left a lasting bad impression. His arrogance, rudeness, and unprofessional behavior make it impossible for me to recommend working with him under any circumstances. He made what should have been a straightforward process unnecessarily difficult and unpleasant. Save yourself the hassle and avoid Brian Manning if you're looking for someone who treats you with basic respect and professionalism--qualities he seems completely devoid of. There are far more competent and respectful professionals out there who deserve your business.

I have been using Steve Humphreys and family for my auto, life, and home owner's insurance for over…read more15 years. (Until I moved to San Diego- unfortunately). The bottom line from a "real" Yelper is that Steve is the best agent in the insurance business, bar none! Steve cares more about you as a person and not just a number than most of your friends and family do. He makes certain that you have the proper coverages (and not any more than that!) even if he has to talk you out of things you don't need. He also makes sure you know how to deal with the adjuster, what to do, what to say, etc to make sure they don't screw you when there IS a claim. After moving to San Diego, I unfortunately, had to cancel all my policies with Steve because American Family isn't in California. But, just last week, in the middle of dealing with my current insurance company over a flood claim, I called and talked to Steve for almost an hour and got invaluable advice that is probably going to make sure I get my claim accepted. And this conversation happened even though I don't currently have ONE SINGLE POLICY with him right now! And that's the way he is with ALL his clients... I have heard him on the phone with many people. He just cares. And that is very unusual these days. I met Steve by acquiring a policy on my car in 1996, but I am proud to say that I consider him a friend and he is a better one than most.

Steve came out to visit me at my new home and helped me understand what the homeowner's policy is, does, etc. Since then, he is always there for all my questions: trivial, silly and just plain ignorance on my part. He is always so patient, kind, and provides incredible insight and advice. I always appreciate his way of presenting the options so all decisions are mine, rather than him leading me in a certain direction to help line his pockets. I have learned so much from him over the years and always appreciate his willingness to share his knowledge. You can tell his long experience in the industry serves him well to speak with confidence and accuracy as he evaluates your personal situation and needs. And he is always incredibly responsive! Sometimes I call him with silly questions, but there have been times where Steve senses my anxiety about a situation (big hail claim, thank you Colorado) and always makes sure I have his cell number. I would never bother him on his personal time, but it's a nice touch for sure! His brother and mom also work with him, and they are both equally wonderful to deal with and are so incredibly sweet- especially Mom, Margaret :) For all these reasons, I have NEVER price shopped Steve! There is no monetary savings that can replace his personalized attention and service. For as long as he is in the business, he will have my business!

When I asked for an example of strategic roadmap or for a list of what was included in it they would not give me a direct answer. They pontificated about how it depends on clients situation and said it's a heady and complicated subject. They were very prompt in sending me requests for payment after every interaction I had with them but didn't answer a single one of my questions asking what was included in their services. My experience aligns with the poor reviews here. They like to say "our teams knowledge and experience makes what we charge worth it". But I'm sorry saying that you're knowledgeable does not make it so. When they can't even show a basic understanding of what a good financial plan should include by at a minimum putting into a list what it includes for potential clients that does not instill confidence.
