I worked with Michael Forster in updating my home and auto insurance policy. He went the extra mile with me by explaining to me my current coverage and his recommended coverage. I especially liked working with Michael because he has the heart of a teacher and makes sure that I was educated on exactly what I was spending my money on. Even when I told him, I'm sold, he still made sure to explain the rest of my coverage. Also, my home insurance reduced by 50% and my coverage was increased. Highly recommend using Michael at the Maranto Agency.

We have used Maranto for years for auto & home insurance. Joelle is amazing. She got a homeowners claim settled in our favor, by knowing exactly what our coverage was.even when the insurance company overlooked that part of my coverage & were ready to deny the claim. We were extremely grateful!

I will never go elsewhere for my insurance needs! The whole team is beyond wonderful with their communication and customer service. They find me the best coverage for the best price, and I'm so fortunate I switch ALL my personal and professional policies to their agency. The girls are so great, they even call me to follow up on important emails to make sure nothing falls through the cracks when something needs my attention. Mike never fails with his responsiveness, problem solving, and recommendations. HANDS DOWN my favorite professionals to work with! Usually I dread "customer service" fields because they are everything BUT customer service. This team is the GOLD STANDARD for professionalism and customer service and I am forever grateful!
