"We just moved from San Francisco Bay Area to Washington State and was connected with Kat Peterson at State Farm for our vehicle insurance coverage. It was such a pleasant experience working with Kat. She was very patient and answered all our questions promptly and made the whole process quick and easy. She was knowledgeable, professional, and most importantly made us feel we can totally trust her! Thank you Kat for your wonderful support and service!"

"Was really happy with my experience today From Gray McCoy. He did an excellent job with his work. Making sure to Dot the I's and cross the T's and get me the coverage I need for the vehicle that I'm borrowing while my vehicle is being repaired. He even double-checked his work with checking with another co-worker to make sure everything was in order."

"I had a great experience working with Mersades while switching over to State Farm from my previous insurance company. She was polite, professional, friendly, and extremely helpful throughout the entire process. It made the transition smooth and stress-free. I'm also really happy to be switching to a company that’s local to my small town—it feels good to support a business that's part of the community. Thanks again, Mersades, for the excellent service!"

"Mersades Emerson has been an absolute delight to work with. I spoke with her over a month ago and she took the time to explain my home & auto insurance policy and ALL the options available. She was incredibly patient, knowledgeable -AND- professional. Would highly recommend her to everyone that needs a home or auto insurance."

"My name is Travis Murray. I called State Farm insurance today for a quote and was immediately helped out by Mersades Emerson. I have been with USAA for 25 years quite honestly since they went to the overseas people handling their customer service department, I’ve had nothing but issues with them. Not to mention our rates continually going up and the only way to make them go down is to delete coverage, which I think is ridiculous. Over the years we have had some incidents with some State Farm customers and always got treated really well even though we did not have State Farm. Mersades Emerson was immediately helpful. Come to find out she’s actually rescued my dog a couple of times. I would just like to thank her. She was very positive, informational and helpful throughout the whole process as I did not have most of my information. I did actually call back and start insurance through State Farm and ended my 25 year relationship with USAA. I will also be calling back and getting homeowners insurance through them once I am able to as I did have a forest fire claim on my home about 2 1/2 years ago."

"Melanie Bakala State Farm Insurance has the best employees ever! Her staff are always very professional, knowledgeable and helpful. Joshua Olson worked directly with my mortgage company to get my homeowners payment. It took a couple of weeks, but Joshua never gave up! Very good communication! Good job! Would recommend Melanie Bakala State Farm in a heart beat!"
