Looked for a highly rated State Farm agent in our area, Troy Weldon's location came up. Darcie is Troy's wife. We met with her. If the rest of the team is 1/2 as good, we definitely found a winner Agent location. Darcie met us earlier than usual, and was ready for us as soon as we got there. We got our work done then chatted about hobbies, tv shows and life in general. Such a kind human If you are looking for a great insurance company , great rates, and kind personable employees, this is the place!

I am posting here because Kelly is our agent. Saving a few dollars with Allstate will never equate…read moreto the aggravation, lying and stonewalling down by Allstate Claims that I have had to deal with for 4 months now not having my Mercedes Benz. Meanwhile, as I make monthly payments on my car that is not in my possession, I am made to feel as though this large company can do whatever they wish to a small fish like me. Our home and auto policies that we thought were saving us money, has turned in to a nightmare, and any savings is not worth all of this. I have reached out to Kelly Peters before and got the "Well we don't really have anything to do with Claims", and have been passed around her office with no help. But if you're late one second, what happens?!?!? Do more research and go with another company, hoping you won't have to use your policies, but if you do, this company is NOT the peace of mind they lie about with their commercials.

They were very patient and answered all of my questions. I ended up saving a couple hundred dollars…read morewith better coverage and a office down the road. So I definitely switched over from Liberty

If you're needing to get back on your feet in regards to insurance, these folks have you covered. I…read morebroke my back a few years back and wound up going without insurance for over six months (I wasn't driving so I took coverage off my vehicle for about a year). When I got back to driving, MAN did I get a rude awakening. Every place I called was quoting me around 400 a MONTH for PLPD (mind you, I have a clean driving record. This was solely from being considered "high risk" for my lapse in insurance) Ted Kieslings office got me insured for about 150.00 a month and it has since gone down to 120.00. The office staff is PHENOMENAL and are very in touch with their clients. They also are very adept at explaining complex insurance issues; when the new liability coverage came out in July, they helped dissect what that meant for me personally (I did NOT have decent healthcare at the time and they informed me that reducing my liability coverage for short term savings [like ten bucks a month] could really come back to bite me in the butt if I were to injure myself or someone else further down the road). Overall, wonderful service. Not sure if the staff has changed or if there was more to the story for the older review, but honestly I recommend my insurance agent to everyone I know and I've never heard anything negative this far.

Wish I could give LESS than one star... this office is the worst. Should have been tipped off by…read morethe totally unprofessional appearance of the office (a basement room in a dilapidated building, with dollar bills inexplicably thumbtacked to the ceiling) but decided to give them the benefit of a doubt. I could ignore the high rates and bad coverage (that was my bad for not shopping around I guess) but they lost me as a customer when, after I totaled my car in a pileup, they not only failed to file a mini tort claim on my behalf but LIED to me about it (told me they had put it in, and that they would "call me if there were any issues!"). It was a pretty rude awakening when I had to call the other insurance company myself, AND no claim had been filed... annoying AND embarrassing (AND a lot of money at stake). Bottom line: insurance is expensive and you spend a lot of money for it. THESE PEOPLE WORK FOR YOU, so they should WORK for YOU. This is not the experience you will get with Ted Kiesling... I would definitely go online. to one of the online brokers where you will not have to deal with any 'human error' or just lazy unprofessional folks not doing their job. Save your money and time!

I've wound up the process (see earlier critique) meeting with Nancy at the office, as she had some…read moreexcellent options that saved me money. Nancy is affable, kind, understanding and I appreciated her time. Be very specific in your wants - as well as the price; I was told "your coverages are the same," which I took to mean the global "same" meaning what I wanted outside of coverage, like manditory on-line billing (which I don't do) and even though there is a great discount for this, I don't want it, I want a paperbill - so, Nancy called the company rep and they said it was too late to change it. So Nancy promised to contact me in September to remind me of the charge; then we can change it back to paper. So, even though my contact there has left and follow-ups like returning calls and checking emails remain somewhat of a challenge there was a significant premium savings by switching, it makes me wish I would have trusted less and had them (the agency) show me options every year "(trust but verify, Ronald Reagan")! Your agent works for you. So I support this agency, but do your due diligence and shop the policies and service expectations should be high, you pay enough for it.

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.
