Wussup Vegas peeps,
Just wanted to share as good as an experience one can have with an insurance agent. After being divorced since February, and after 3 different phone calls, my current State Farm agency still has not been able to split up my insurance policies leaving it a joint account with my ex, and mailing all my statements & renewal notices to my old address. As of writing this, I am still waiting for them to call me back to confirm the change. With that said, I need a new insurance agent for my cars/home/life. I called Mike from Wholesale Connection because he just raved about his agent some time ago, but I just wasn't in the market to change insurance companies. So I gave his guy a call & this guy is simply awesome. A pleasure to speak too & ultra responsive to my emails & phone messages. Granted, he's trying to earn my business, whereas State Farm already had it, but since yesterday, he has called me back 3 or 4 times in response to my questions via email, plus his original call back after leaving his assistant with my details. Anyways, it's seldom I can honestly say I truly enjoy a conversation with someone who wants to sell me something, but I honestly did, and from my experience thus far, he seems to really care about his clients best interests. As for the savings, I only have a rough estimate because my old policies through State Farm are in limbo:
2 Cars - 98 Maxima & 92 NSX - Saving approximately $200 - $300 a year
Home Owners Insurance - Saving approximately $100 a year(Current Homeowners Policy through American Family)
Life - Still working on the details, and I'm actually changing my terms, so I can't compare these two
Oh yeah, he also writes for Hagerty, which is who I will be insuring the NSX through. As mentioned on past threads, Hagerty insures an agreed upon dollar amount, versus the market/book value of your car, so I know exactly how much I will get in the event of a loss. Only downside, they will only insure your NSX if it's a second/part time vehicle. The plus side, their annual policy is only $100 more than my 6 month policy through State Farm & quote from Allstate. So I save quite a bit going through Hagerty, but I did lose my multicar discount through Allstate, so my premium on the 98 Maxima went up. But all in all, I'm saving about $200 to $300 a year, going this route, versus both cars insured under Allstate, plus I feel better knowing exactly what Hagerty will pay me in the event of a loss.
All in all, I'm ecstatic with the level of service I am getting from my new Allstate agent. Even if I wasn't saving a few bucks, or even paid a little more, I would keep my policies with his agency because I honestly think that if shit hit the fan, he'd be there to do everything he can to help, and that's not an easy message to convey to a brand spankin' new customer...
If anyone's in the market for a new agent or would like to get a quote, here's his contact information:
