""Cool Beans"- Covered In Awesome Sauce! State Farm has always been there when I needed them, and that has been, for quite some time. Sounds cliché, but they really do begin to feel like family. Every time I've called the office, I am greeted with a warm and friendly voice. This has always been reassuring to me-and will continue to be. They have the answers to/for your Insurance questions/needs.. (UPDATED REVIEW) -2/21/2025 - As time progresses, so do our insurance needs. Paul Diehl, an agent at the office helped me most recently with some updates to my policy. He was very insightful, while listening at the same time. That was impressive to me. Thank you Paul!"
"Thank for the awesome review, Bill!"

"Had to change my review because of two occasions of employees making huge mistakes. It seems like all the new people have no idea what they are doing. If you're a veteran or a family of a veteran. Try to get USAA, they will be cheaper, and you'll get better coverage."
"Thank you so much!"

"A new review for Bakala State Farm. I have been working with Cara Angell on a new home project and she has been fantastic. Cara has been checking in with me for months to see how things are going and working with the bank and contractor to make sure I have coverage. I appreciate the staff at Melanie Bakala State Farm."
"Thanks, Patty!"

"Today I needed to make a move, and I decided to give State Farm a go. My family has insured their property through state farm for a while so the choice was fairly easy for me. With the switch I was offered fair pricing that fit my budget. I was helped kindly and professionally by Mersades Emerson, all my questions answered, i had multiple options to pick from, and zero pressure to make a choice beyond what i would feel comfortable with. I'm thankful she could help me to meet my needs. Thank you Mersades!"
"Mark, thank you so much for sharing your positive experience with us. We’re truly thrilled to hear that Mersades was able to provide you with exceptional service and that our offerings met your needs. Your satisfaction means the world to us, and we deeply appreciate your trust in State Farm."
