BUT I was shocked by how responsive and empathic Riley was. He clearly communicated his schedule, made himself available through text, answered when I called, and responded to every question and concern. He even listened to my business needs and created a custom commercial insurance plan...that was AFTER he spent the time to research my business thoroughly. He's a Santa Barbara native, born and raised, and it shows. He's proud of his work and cares about the businesses in our community. I often walk by his office and see him at his desk. He's like an old school, small town agency. And he actually shows up to work. I am waiting for the day California finally gets its act together and allows Farmers to write home insurance again, because I've decided I'm moving everything to Riley, back from AAA. His accessibility, honesty, friendliness, and pride in his work is worth any premium over AAA.

Where do I begin? To…read moresay my experience with this broker has been frustrating would be an understatement. I was originally enrolled in my health insurance through her back in 2017 by my former partner. After our separation, I needed to explore more affordable options since my financial situation had changed. Naturally, I contacted my insurance provider, Anthem, directly to discuss cancelling or modifying my plan. To my surprise, I was told I could not make changes through them and would need to go through my broker. That's where the difficulty began. When I attempted to contact Ms. Gordon, I was met with a voicemail stating that I needed to provide my credit card information just to speak with her. She would not answer questions via email or text--only through a paid phone consultation. This immediately raised concerns for me. I was trying to cancel my plan and transition to a different provider, Kaiser Permanente, and did not feel comfortable sharing my credit card information in that situation. Given today's environment, I believe it's reasonable to be cautious about providing sensitive financial information--especially when I was not trying to make a payment, but simply cancel a service. Interestingly, my former partner--who originally set up the policy--confirmed he was never required to provide credit card information just to communicate. It seemed that once my intent to cancel became clear, the process became significantly more difficult. Eventually, after I informed her that I had already secured new coverage independently, she reached out to me. During that conversation, she attempted to get me to state that she had enrolled me in the new plan, which I declined. At that point, I had deliberately chosen not to work with a broker due to how complicated the cancellation process had been. To be fair, when I spoke directly with Anthem, they were helpful--until they realized I had originally signed up through a broker. That experience made it clear to me that consumers can enroll directly with insurance providers and may have more control by doing so. In hindsight, it felt as though there was little incentive to assist me in cancelling, especially given that brokers often earn commissions tied to active policies. Whether intentional or not, the process felt unnecessarily obstructive. I'm sharing this experience as a caution to others: if you work through a broker, your insurance provider may direct you back to them for support--even for basic account changes or cancellations. That can create an added layer of difficulty when you're trying to make decisions about your own coverage. As a client for over seven years, I expected clearer communication and more flexibility--especially during a time when I needed to make a change. At the very least, alternative ways to communicate (email, basic support, or a receptionist) would have made a significant difference. Due to this experience, I plan to file a complaint with the California Department of Insurance so the situation can be reviewed.

EXCELLENCE BEYOND MY WILDEST EXPECTATIONS!!! I cannot begin…read moreto tell you how amazing the agents are at this business. Both Kelly and Stephanie guided me through the complex world of navigating life insurance....They took the time to speak to me numerous times via phone in a time where businesses are not able to do face-to-face consults (COVID-19 governor's lockdown). They kept in constant communication and helped me to lock-in on the specific insurance that's right for me and my loved ones. They assured that they emailed me documents in a swift manner and led me through what to expect as far as the process for the health insurance interview, etc. They basically "held my hand" and took my anxiety and stress down to a zero. I first spoke with Kelly, who is such an amazing person. Kelly referred me to her lead agent, Stephanie, who specializes in life insurance. I am so very impressed with Stephanie and Kelly. They both embody customer service at its apex. Stephanie, especially, is so kind and knowledgeable. She obviously does what she does because she loves people...and it really shows. I highly recommend this agency for al your insurance needs.

Navigating the labyrinth of insurance options as a family seeking coverage outside of a traditional employer path is a reliable headache, and we had never before felt like we were making a fully informed decision about what path and plan would actually be best for us -- because it's virtually impossible to do that with the way insurance info is essentially presented in a different language. Annie is the translator we've always wished we had.

Adam was incredible! We will stick with him for the long haul…read more We had worked with Farmers for the past 4 years and been pretty underwhelmed by their service and prices. I reached out to Adam via email after googling local insurance brokers. My goal was to see if we could increase coverage and manage to save any money in the process. Adam responded almost immediately within a matter of hours from when I sent him a message. This was on a Friday. We corresponded via email fairly quickly so he had what he needed to run numbers for us. He told me he would follow up Monday (the next business day), and he did. Adam was able to save us a significant amount of money AND increase our coverage in a lot of different ways. We had a simple call after I had decided to work with him, and he walked me through everything in detail and answered all of my questions. The idea of changing insurance had felt really daunting and so I had put it off - for quite some time. Adam truly made it as painless as possible, and now I can relax knowing we are covered.
