Report
We worked with Hunter on getting our home and auto insurance transferred to a new company. He was super friendly and knowledgeable about what we were signing up for. He walked lined by line through our new policy quote so we knew exactly what we were getting. Our current policy covers far more. Hunter was thorough in ensuring we have enough coverage for the new home we are in. Looking back at our old policy, I'm glad we switched and now have the appropriate coverage for our home. I would highly recommend Hunter at Thiel Insurance Group.

Thank you Leah for helping me find lower premiums for my auto insurance in a very efficient time frame. After being a customer with another agent, my insurance tripled and I contacted Leah and she was able to find me a better quote in a great time. I appreciate doing business with Leah

I have been worked with this company for about 6 years and have always been pleased with their service. Recently I needed to change auto insurance and Patti went above and beyond to help me find the right company with the best rates. She has always responded quickly to any questions I have and has put my mind at ease many times. Kudos to Patti and Thiel insurance!
