Diane Newman and her team are absolutely amazing. I moved across the country to Maine and had to set up some new policies as well as transfer existing ones, all of which was done very quickly and with hardly any work on my part. All the pricing was explained thoroughly and they helped me to find some hidden discounts as well. Kevin and Melody in the office both treated me like family - even welcoming me to the state once I arrived and later taking time to chat extensively with me about the challenges of moving during a pandemic! Kevin was also instrumental in helping me figure out how to handle a car accident where the at fault driver was avoiding filing their claim. No matter the problem, I’ve never had to wonder whether this team had my back. It’s not easy to find insurance agents who truly care but stick with this group and you’ll never have to look again :)

Diana and Kevin are great insurance agents. I have had several policies with them. They are available almost all the time and certainly are professional with all aspects. Thanks

I have had other insurance companies that cost less and when the time came that I needed them the service was not there. I did NOT get what I paid for. I switched to State Farm Diane Newman's office and could not be more greatfull for there attention to me. When I have had problems with technology and hooking up drive safe and save app her team stuck with me and never made me feel stupid or dumb. They were patient and understanding. I much appreciated there efforts.

I had renter's insurance through this agency for about 7 years. It was easy to set up and competitively priced. Automatic renewal always went smoothly and the rates never increased dramatically - they actually went down once without any action on my part because of a payment fee change. It was easy to update my policy when I moved apartments, and Diane, Kevin, and Melody were always quick to respond when I needed quotes on other lines of insurance. When I did need to cancel my policy, they made it fast and painless. I would recommend them.

How much insurance coverage should I have on my home?

Diane Newman - State Farm Insurance Agent | Jun 20, 2022
Diane Newman - State Farm Insurance Agent | Jun 20, 2022

The choice is yours, but State Farm recommends you choose a coverage limit at least equal to your home’s estimated replacement cost. (The estimated replacement cost isn’t the same as the market value, which is the price you can expect your home to yield on the market.) If you choose a coverage amount less than the estimated replacement cost, you may not be eligible for certain coverages. Since no one can say what the exact cost will be to replace your home in the future, you’ll need enough coverage to account for unforeseen circumstances.
