    Quote from J. and R. Newcomer

    Tina was such a delight to work with. She seemed truly happy for us and our classic car purchase. She took care of all the paperwork, sending it to the dealer in Florida and the bank in California. She even went as far as to look for and find homeowners insurance for us, saving us $300 a year. Again she handled all the paperwork. From the very first day I spoke with her, she made us feel as if she had known us forever, when in fact we have never met. She is a blessing.

    Quote from Hines Family

    I’d like to take a moment to recognize your employee, Angie Shaffer. I first came to know her when I was searching for better insurance some 15 years ago or better. I was sold right away for the obvious reason of saving myself $500 a year. But more importantly, I was very pleased with Angie’s service. She is always so nice and goes out of her way to make sure that I am taken care of. I work at a Credit Union. When I am building relationships, my members trust me to do what’s in their best interest. I feel completely confident in referring them to Angie for their insurance needs. The feedback I get from them is always positive. I feel so blessed to have her looking out for me and every time I reach out to her, that is exactly what she does. Bell has a real asset, and I just wanted you to know how fortunate you are.

    Quote from Cole P.

    I am so happy we switched, we saved so much money! My mother has used Bell for 15 years, and Jennifer has been her agent the whole time. Now I have started using you guys, and she is my agent as well. It’s a great feeling to keep it in the family as a legacy! I will send my child to you when she is old enough to drive! Jennifer gave me such a kind experience and helped me cancel my previous insurance while also bundling home insurance at a great rate! We love you guys and are so glad to be a part of this family.

    Quote from Terrie R.
