I can't say enough about my agent Paula Garthoff. She is easy to work with. She is personable, friendly and most of all gets the job done.

Paula has been my insurance agent for 25+ years, first when she worked for Judy Howell and now, since Judy retired and Paula has her own agency. She is the reason I have been a client of State Farm all these years. No matter what questions I have, what guidance I need to file a claim, or what complaint I need to rant and rave about, she is always professional, CALM (which I am sometimes NOT), and most importantly, caring and compassionate. It is important to me to have a real, live, informed person to talk with when I have insurance issues and PAULA IS ALWAYS THAT PERSON.

Paula Garthoff's agency is the best in the area. Not only does Paula have over 25 years of insurance experience, she really listens to her customers and what is important to them. She and her team have always followed up on anything I have asked about; and she makes us feel welcomed anytime we call. I highly recommend Paula Garthoff's agency if you are moving to the area or just want a more personal touch for your insurance.

(The agent does not even deserve one star). Poor customer service- she never answers her phone; it takes her two weeks before she returns your call. We requested a cancellation on all policies; she continued to charge me for a policy that should have been cancelled back in October of 2015. In addition, my brother had a similar experience and he cancelled his policy with the agent.

Questions & Answers

What factors influence car insurance rates?

Paula Garthoff - State Farm Insurance Agent | Jul 7, 2022

Coverage options, deductibles, and discounts may affect your policy cost, along with such things as your driving history, credit score (where permitted by law), and other third-party reports.

What is the difference between market value and replacement cost?

Paula Garthoff - State Farm Insurance Agent | Jul 7, 2022
Paula Garthoff - State Farm Insurance Agent | Jul 7, 2022

Market value is the amount a buyer would pay for the home and land in its current condition. It is influenced by factors such as proximity to good schools, local crime statistics, and the availability of similar homes. Replacement cost is the cost to rebuild the entire home.

How fast can I get car insurance coverage?

Paula Garthoff - State Farm Insurance Agent | Jul 7, 2022

As long as you have all required information and go through the application process, coverage can begin immediately. For the most accurate quote, you’ll need to know your car’s make, model, mileage, and year. We’ll also need to know a little about you and your driving history.

Is my payment information secure on your website?

How much insurance coverage should I have on my home?

Paula Garthoff - State Farm Insurance Agent | Jul 7, 2022
Paula Garthoff - State Farm Insurance Agent | Jul 7, 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.
