- November 14, 2019Rating 5.0Ruth's assistant Alex has been amazingly professional and personable and went the extra mile to deal with the issues I faced in obtaining adequate homeowners, auto and umbrella insurance. I am EXTREMELY pleased with the level of service provided. Ruth provided my insurance several years ago and I'm very happy to be back with her!
- October 18, 2019Rating 5.0Ruth is ALWAYS available, always helpful and knowledgeable , and always has your best interest at heart. And, as if that wasn't enough, she has a great sense of humor and perspective. I was just thinking the other day that I sure hope she never retires!
- October 14, 2019Rating 4.0Ruth was very thorough in my policy review. She explained things in a way that I could understand them, which is no easy feat when it comes to something as confusing (to me) as insurance. I felt as if she really tried to understand my current situation and get me the best coverages possible for my budget.

- August 21, 2019Rating 5.0We really appreciate Ruth looking at the entire picture of our liability and how it changes once you own a home. Ruth suggested that we increase our auto insurance coverage and provided a quote. She was very honest that it couldn't compete with our current car insurance quote, but equipped us with the information to get better coverage with our current insurance. As for the home owner's insurance, Ruth was also very good with explaining every nook and cranny, key for first-time homebuyers.
