We’ve worked with Steve, Yolanda and the team for over 20 years and they are the absolute best. They don’t try to rush you through things or sell you policies you don’t need. They make everything from claims to adding new policies super easy, plus they’re just really nice, honest people.

Fast, courteous, flexible. What more could one want from an insurer? Linda got us the auto policy we needed after just one call.

I have known Steve a few decades. He has taken beautiful care of my family, my husband, myself and my son. He is always prompt in his responses, compassionate, doesn't rush you, and is a treat to work with.

Steve and his team (Yolanda, Linda) have done an amazing job helping us move from Virginia to the Berkeley area. I don't know what we would have done without their help-- prompt communication, clear quotes, and timely emails to help us through closing our home, protecting our cars, and now protecting our new home!
