"Brittany was absolutely wonderful to work with. She was knowledgeable, patient, and took the time to explain everything clearly, making the entire process stress-free. Brittany was responsive, professional, and genuinely cared about finding the best coverage for my needs rather than rushing me through decisions. Her customer service went above and beyond, and it’s clear she takes pride in her work. I highly recommend Brittany to anyone looking for an agent who is reliable, trustworthy, and truly helpful."

"Brittany was soo helpful and I felt very confident in my coverage after running it by her! She explained everything thoroughly and in a way I understood. I called in ready to switch elsewhere but I chose to stay even though the price was a few $$ higher because the service was excellent! Highly recommend Ace’s State Farm and Brittany the licensed representative there!"

"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!"
