I have not shopped for another insurance company for years. In the short run, I might save a few dollars, but the prices always creep up when you do that. The main reason I don't shop around is because of the friendly, excellent service I have gotten over the years. They have never let me down. They are great people!

When we bought our house, we suddenly realized that we needed to get it insured asap. We frantically called around the area agencies and Jan picked up. She stayed late in her office until we could get there and saved us from a frantic first night in our wonderful new house worrying that catastrophe could happen and we would have no coverage. And she was so helpful with subsequent info of where to find the help we've needed since then. She' s truly an asset to the community. Thanks, Jan.
