"Once again, we were helped so efficiently by Mary and Patrick at ACE State Farm. They made it so quick and easy to move our car insurance from a mini-van that we donated to a new-to-us hybrid sedan. It's always such a pleasure to work with them. Previously, we had written: Brittany is so friendly, professional, and a real problem solver…it was a pleasure to work with her on my policy compliance issues today. She’s a great part of the local State Farm team!"
We responded:
"Thank you so much for your kind words! We are so pleased to have Brittany on our team."

"Terrible. Does not respond to emails or voicemails. Failed to submit forms to the underwriter resulting in them dropping my umbrella policy. I’d gladly switch agents, but don’t think I could get a new State Farm policy in California."

"Let's be real, being a Californian needing insurance nowadays, can be a stressful and daunting thing. I got enough stress on my plate, the last thing I need to worry about navigating is my insurance. That's why I am thankful for State Farm insurance. Most specifically, I am incredibly grateful for the service that Aleene Althouse aka Ace provides. In this ever changing climate of insurance, Aleene brings that confidence that I need, to know the things I hold most dear are protected. She clarifies the jargon, reassures my anxieties and helps me make sure that I have just what I need. Her office is always there for me, whether it is regarding a billing question or just wanting to clarify a policy, I feel heard and valued. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Aleene! The insurance world needs more compassionate, dedicated and professional people like you in it. State Farm is so fortunate to have you on their team. If you're looking for an agent with integrity, knowledge and kindness, Aleenee “Ace” Althouse is the agent you want and better yet, need."
We responded:
"Thank you so much for your glowing review!"
