This is a wonderful group of people! We went through them when we purchased our first home in 2015…read moreand then again this past year when we sold that home and bought a new one. They are always available if you have questions and you can call/email them any time. They are always so happy to help and always go above and beyond for their customers. When we bought our new home this past year, it was a nightmare with the seller. But this team made things so easy for us and they dealt with the seller and getting everything they needed. When the day came to close, the seller still hadn't provided all of the paperwork needed for us to close. We had already closed on our current home and had to move out; if we didn't close on the new house that day, we were going to be homeless. Our realtor and the whole team were working on our close ALL DAY. They started close to 7:00AM and were on the phone, in meetings, and in touch with us all day to make sure we were taken care of. They rescheduled meetings and appointments so they could spend their time making sure we got into our house that day and weren't without a home (we had a 5 month old baby at the time). By the end of the day, we were in our new home because of all the hard work from the Ben Lemon Team. Seriously, I couldn't be more grateful for this amazing group of people and all the hard work they put in for my family and me. I recommend them to anyone I know buying or selling and will continue to work with them in the future if I decide to sell or buy again.

Honestly super disappointed with the way this company handled our policy after the great initial…read moremeeting we had with our planner. He was very nice and helped us set up a life and disability policy for both me and my husband, but it took months for the first payment to be pulled, and for about 3 months the payment was a different amount each month. Throughout this whole process the communication was minimal (not on my part) and I had little explanation as to why the amounts were different and why my disability policy was denied. Now, we are here 7 months later and we have tried to cancel our policy twice and they still pull payments out. They say it will be refunded but I got a letter stating that we owe them money (a different amount that is due each month). Needless to say, it's obvious that the planners priority was the commission, because he refuses to answer our questions and hear our concerns about our future at NWM, and we have yet to hear back from him after 2 months of headaches. In short, I would not recommend giving a company your money when they lack basic communication skills and respect for the people paying their bills. 0/10 would not recommend.

We were quite displeased to have figured out until long after the insurance had apparently expired…read morethat we never got a bill for one of our properties after it having been insured through Hill for years. We never received any sort of cancellation notice either. It should be the agent's duty (and at least an ethical obligation) to attempt to contact the client to determine whether we had let it drop intentionally or if it had been cancelled (though I can't imagine why it would have been), whether we wanted a replacement policy. Because we didn't seem to have gotten a bill or notice of cancellation (isn't that a law?), it was easily missed by us. Either way, the agency let us down. Would have been nice and we would still be using them, but not now. Heck, what do you guys do other than take a cut off our insurance policy when we never even bother you with claims? Would have given one star except we had had no problems before this and I was too annoyed at our predicament to have given them a chance to make things right. In fact, to this day I'm not sure they ever even knew this happened. However, if they let it happen knowingly, shame on them.
