- July 8, 2018Rating 5.0My insurance does not begin for 3 weeks however my anxiety for changing insurers for both my home and vehicles was based on cost, coverage and the communication in changing the home coverage with my mortgage company while finding a insurer with a local contact and knowledge of the community that I live in. Logan did a very professional job in presenting all options and Ben seems to care very much in his company and customers. Thanks and I look forward to having you as my insurer.
