I am extremely disappointed with my recent experience with Steve Cannon State Farm Insurance…read more I initially called the office to add a new vehicle to my existing policy. I spoke with Colin, who provided me with a quote for the new vehicle. I asked him to email the quote to me, but he explained that due to a system change, he was unable to send the email at that time. He advised me to call back the next day to move forward with the process and assured me that he would leave detailed notes about our conversation, including the quote he provided. When I called back the next day, I spoke with Marisa Litavis, and unfortunately, she seemed completely unaware of the conversation I had with Colin. Instead of professionally reviewing the situation, she made an inappropriate comment along the lines of "you know men do not give details," and also made additional comments about Colin's work ethic that I should not have been privy to as a customer. That was extremely unprofessional. Marisa then gave me a new quote for the vehicle, but the amount was over $100 more per month than what Colin had quoted me the day before. When I questioned why the amount was so different, she stated that they were doing system upgrades and said she would double-check and call me back. When she called back, she told me that the higher amount was the new price and that Colin's quote was incorrect. Because of the drastic difference in price, I let Marisa know that I would be shopping around for more affordable insurance. I ended up finding a new policy for both my home and auto insurance with another large company. Not only was the new company able to offer me better coverage, but the price was also much more affordable than what I was being quoted through Steve Cannon State Farm. Since the State Farm office was already closed by the time I secured my new policy, I waited until the next morning to call and cancel my existing policies. When I called, I spoke with Marisa again and informed her that I wanted to cancel because I had found better and more affordable insurance. Her tone and attitude toward me were extremely rude, nasty, and unprofessional. I felt mistreated and disrespected, and honestly, the way I was spoken to made me feel like I was being treated unfairly as a Black customer. Marisa told me she would cancel the policies and that I should receive cancellation information. Because of how poorly the conversation was going, I told her I preferred to stay on the line until I received confirmation. She rudely told me to "hold." Once she came back on the line, I was able to confirm that I received the cancellation information. However, while I was still speaking, Marisa abruptly said "okay, bye" and hung up while I was mid-sentence. I called back and told her that she had hung up on me while I was speaking. She denied it and became argumentative. She also stated that she wanted the rate and company information for my new insurer, but at that point, I no longer felt comfortable continuing that discussion. I told her directly that her behavior was rude and unprofessional. I have had my home and two vehicles insured through this State Farm location since I purchased my home in January 2021. As a long-term customer, I expected to be treated with basic respect, professionalism, and fairness. Instead, I was met with inconsistent quote information, inappropriate comments about another employee, a lack of accountability, and extremely poor customer service when I decided to move my policies elsewhere. I used to think highly of State Farm as a brand, so this experience was very disappointing. I truly hope State Farm does not condone this type of behavior from any office representing its name. It is unfortunate that this location gave me such a negative final experience after years of being a customer. Steve Cannon State Farm needs to do better. Customers should be treated fairly and respectfully, even when they choose to make the best financial decision for their household. No customer should feel mistreated, dismissed, or disrespected simply because they found more affordable insurance elsewhere.

Meeting with Colton Cannon was great. I found him to be personable and knowledgeable as we reviewed…read moremy policies. He even pointed out a few ways I could save money! This in-office meeting was well worth my time.
