Amber returned my voice-mail within a few hours and Dustin worked up my quotes very quickly. They are both as professional as they are friendly. I'm so happy to have found an agency with such great rates and exceptional customer service.

I spoke to Dustin at State Farm and he was very knowledgeable, helpful and friendly! I definitely feel like he helped me get a really great price for all the things I need to have covered on my car insurance! I previously had progressive and never have they ever made me feel secure if anything would happen to my car like State Farm has. 100% recommend!

Dustin was seriously SO helpful & thorough in explaining every part of the different insurance policies & coverages as someone who doesn't know much about insurance and the nitty gritty involved. He used plain terms and useful examples and I never felt pressured to buy a plan that wasn't perfect for me. He also helped me get renters insurance for only a nominal amount more! Highly recommend.

My husband and I had been with Geico and Progressive for many years and it's been an eye opening experience working with State Farm- I now know the immense difference in the quality of customer service that is offered. And on top of that we are saving over $100 a month after bringing our vehicles and renters insurance over. I'm honored to be working on a team with Amber, Dustin and Ella! The sweetest, most caring, knowledgeable and dedicated individuals.

How much insurance coverage should I have on my home?

Amber Scism - State Farm Insurance Agent | Jun 21, 2022
Amber Scism - State Farm Insurance Agent | Jun 21, 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.
