Worked with Tami to set up a new home and auto policy. She made it incredibly easy to figure out the best options for us. Really appreciated her transparency in pricing and patience with all of my questions. Would recommend to anyone

I called Mitch Essert's State Farm office and spoke with Tammy about a rock hitting my windshield. She was extremely helpful and put me in touch with Glass America to get the windshield replaced. I was impressed with the timeliness of the service and Tammy's friendliness. I would recommend Mitch Essert and his office staff to anyone looking for the best insurance service available.

What is the difference between market value and replacement cost?

Mitch Essert - State Farm Insurance Agent | Jun 26, 2022
Mitch Essert - State Farm Insurance Agent | Jun 26, 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?

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.

How much insurance coverage should I have on my home?

Mitch Essert - State Farm Insurance Agent | Jun 26, 2022
Mitch Essert - State Farm Insurance Agent | Jun 26, 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.
