- March 15, 2018Rating 5.0Steve has been my agent for several years now. I have always had a great experience working with him. For example, my last vehicle purchase took place at 7:30pm and I needed a policy to complete the transaction. Not only did he stop what he was doing to answer my call, he had my new policy confirmed over the phone in 5 minutes. His customer service is second to none. I plan on sticking with farmers for the long haul because of his exceptional service.
