Recent Reviews for Carrie Joos
- December 18, 2020Rating 5.0My experience at Carries Agency was way above any I have ever had at any other Insurance Agency. I contacted her office needing help with a Policy for Home and Auto as soon as possible. When arriving I was greeted by very knowledgeable and friendly personnel and was on my way home in a short time with both policies. I would recommend Carries Agency to anyone. ---Gary M---Response from CarrieDecember 18, 2020Thank you Gary & please always reach out to us for questions or concerns. Merry Christmas!

- December 27, 2019Rating 1.0There is not enough space to clearly state all the problems I have encountered.
Customer service has been poor. I believe that attention to details has been lacking. My concerns have been dismissed. In addition, at this time, I still do not have a "paid in full receipt". I do not have 2 forms that I was told I needed to sign. I do not a corrected cost of policy on the "application form". And I do not have a refund check I was told I would receive. A disappointing experience. - October 12, 2019Rating 5.0Everything went well and was easy.Response from CarrieOctober 12, 2019Awesome! We're always happy to help. Call us anytime.

- July 20, 2018Rating 5.0Carrie did an excellent job of helping us find an alternative to our current home and auto insurance. She responded quickly to our request for a quote and provided a proposal that meets all of our needs at a cost significantly below our current cost. We were able to complete the process and purchase the policies that Carrie offered in just a few days, and we were complete most of the process via the Internet. We recommend Carrie and her agency to anyone seeking home and/or auto insurance.
