"Hai is an awesome person to represent State Farm locally to St Petersburg as well as the company as a whole. He was very respectful, patient, and friendly over the phone, which was especially helpful as I’m newer to insurance and policies. He explained everything in simple terms, made sure my questions were answered, and assured he’s always available if I have any more after the phone call. It’s evident he genuinely cares about his clients by the way he converses with them and now myself included"

"Matthew was extremely detailed and patient during the quote process taking time to find out exactly what my family needs were re: insurance coverage. Matthew's explained areas on my policy I have always carried, which were not necessary and covered in other areas of my policy. Matthew attention to detail saved me a significant amount on my monthly premium and even more than on my previous car insurance with a competitor.

Matthew was very pleasant, personal, professional and did not rush the process of not only providing several quotes but formalizing the purchase of my policy.
