- August 29, 2019Rating 5.0We have known Robert Layer through town as our children go to school together. We knew he sold insurance but, until this year, did not want to consider taking our business away from another longtime friend. That friend left his agency which started the search this spring. We are glad to bring all of our insurance needs to Robert now. He works at an agency that meets all of our needs from home to farm, even our classic autos. We are very happy to give our business to our neighbor & friend.Response from RobertDecember 12, 2019Al we really appreciate your comments and are so happy to have you and your family as clients.
