"Very responsive at all times, well-priced insurance. As soon as State Farm writes HO policies in California again, I’ll likely switch back, as my new policy is 80% more for identical coverage."
We responded:
"Thank you! We strive to be responsive and helpful to everyone. Hope to have you back soon. Tammy Dobrotin State Farm Agent"

"Like many, we were concerned about all the news about State Farm dropping current customers. During our annual review, our agent explained the criteria used in determining which customers would be cut. Luckily, we didn't fall into those categories and we were assured that we were safe, at least for the coming year. Of course, premiums did go up significantly, but not to the gouge level of Farmer's, which caused us to leave them last year. So far, we are happy with both our local agent and State Farm. Update: Tammy called to schedule an annual review of all of our insurance needs and we made some tweaks to all of our policies. Really appreciate her pro-active stance and professional advice."
We responded:
"So glad we were able to alleviate your concerns and help you with your homeowners insurance. "

"I have been with State Farm for almost 40 years, since I moved out to Santa Barbara in 1986. They have consistently been dependable and trustworthy. In recent years, we have enjoyed working with Tammy Dobrotin, who is conscientious and friendly. State Farm for property and auto insurance is highly recommended by us."
We responded:
"We are thrilled that you would recommend us for property and auto insurance. Being conscientious and friendly are characteristics we hope to bring in all of our interactions. Thank you so much!"

"At State Farm, I can always count on Ralph Velasquez to give me great advice and peace of mind. Rarely do I need to call about my insurance, but this past year I have had several instances come up where I needed Ralph's guidance and expertise. One case had to do with mold in our rental unit. When I asked Ralph to recommend a company for mold remediation, he knew who I should call. The company did a stellar job. His recommendation helped save me much work and worry. Thank you, Ralph! This past month there were two more events which caused me great concern and not a little distress. Ralph not only knew what steps I should take, but also ---- once again ---- patiently persuaded me that State Farm had my back. And, as always, Ralph listened and calmed my fears. Whenever I have to call State Farm, I ask for Ralph specifically. He has proved to me, over and over again, that it's "not what you know, but who you know." Ralph ---- you're The Best. Thank you for always being there for me."
We responded:
"Such kind words - thank you! So happy you appreciate that we have been available and eager to assist. It is our pleasure."

Estoy extremadamente contenta con su servicio al cliente, siempre disponible para atender o devolver mis llamadas y ayudarme a comprender si estoy confundida por algún motivo o si necesito una cotización para un nuevo servicio. ¡Nuestro agente Rafael Velasquez siempre esta feliz de ayudar en español para que podamos entender mejor! ¡El departamento de reclamos de State Farm también ha sido excelente cuando hemos tenido que lidiar con un reclamo! ¡Recomiendo la oficina de Tammy a cualquiera que hable español o inglés!"
We responded:

"Tammy, Ralph, and Kess have been making sure my insurance needs are being met after my previous agent retired and I transitioned to their office. I especially appreciate Tammy's eye for detail and willingness to provide background information so I can understand how important certain details are. One added plus is Tammy often writes up an email summary of our meetings so I have a history and reminder of issues/decisions we've discussed. Greatly appreciated and certainly value added!"
We responded:
"I am thrilled you find our follow up process an added value. We are here to explain the ins and outs of insurance. That is why you have us!"
