Let me first start by saying when I bought my new house I left Ryan Smeader State Farm to save a…read morefew dollars. Two-years later I returned after several revelations: #1 - While slightly more expensive State Farm covers me for more things on my home and auto than my former provider. They have a few built in riders for personal items and things that my other provider wanted a lot of money to insure. They also offer innovative services I have not found elsewhere in my searching. #2 - They want to know me, my family, my goals and dreams and to do their best to protect that which I care about. My former provider had no relationship with me, had not not even taken the time to meet and get to know me. Because of that they allowed my policy to expire without so much as a call. By chance I realized that my insurance had lapsed and needed to get it fixed. My last company made me refill our paper work and submit documents and left me feeling that I was a new customer, and not valued at all. I can tell you from my previous experience Ryan Smeader State Farm won't let that happen. #3 - Great and wonderful staff. I worked with Christy and she was absolutely fantastic. Aside from her knowledge and thoroughness in her explanations, I found her to be extremely patient, competent and caring about my questions. She was not going to let me sign until we had exhausted all angles and questions of my policy and I love that. I need people in my life who are in my corner and honest/straightforward about what I am getting into. My previous providers documents were complicated, hard to understand and clearly written entirely by lawyers. It was not super clear at all angles what I was and was to covered for. While money is a critical component to every financial decision, getting the best coverage and support is even more important. I realize now looking back I let my short term thinking dictate my pocketbook decisions instead of realizing that Ryan Smeader State Farm was always going to have my back no matter what.

I made an appointment and wanted insurance quotes for with my car, house and business vehicle. i…read morespoke with I think the lady's name was Cynthia?? (older lady).... far back to the left. I handed her all my declaration pages from last year's policies and told her what had changed. There were only few price increases, everything else was the same. She asked what price I was quoted this year. I told her I would rather she do her quote and I will make a decision without giving up that information. A few minutes later in the conversation she asked again what the price was and I said "a lot more than I paid last year". She said "you're not going to tell me are you?" I said no. She looked irritated. It's not fair to barely beat another competitor to get the business which I've experienced before. I wanted the honest quote which should have been easy enough to do with everything I left her. I waited for her to respond a couple weeks and never heard back. I ended up with another carrier and feel very comfortable with them. It all worked out for the best.

I recently transferred a vehicle to my cousin and Barb was able to research and find the best coverage at the best possible price. After finishing the necessary paperwork, she proceeded to review the insurance coverage and recommended a 6 month review to maintain a competitive rate in the market. So often organizations talk about customer service, however they rarely deliver the service they sell you. Barb went above and beyond, providing a "white glove" treatment for our insurance services, and that is why Allen Harmon Insurance will have a customer for life! Many thanks to Barb and the team at Allen Harmon Insurance.
