"I have been a client of Pat Brown's State Farm insurance agency for 15 years. The service has always been excellent. I particularly appreciate the regular reminders and reviews for updating my coverage. In a recent underwriting situation, Pat and her staff were particularly active and helpful in resolving a situation regarding renewal of my homeowners insurance. I have homeowners, auto, and personal liability insurance with State Farm through Pat's agency. Nine years ago a fire required complete restoration of the interior of my home. I called Pat and within 3 hours I had a contact with State Farm, an initial check for needed expenses and State Farm arranged paid hotel accomodations. I had no problem with getting payment for my losses up to the limit of the policy. I heartily recommend insuring with State Farm through the Pat Brown agency."
We responded:
"Thank you so much for your thoughtful review, Don! We truly appreciate your loyalty over the past 15 years. It means a lot to hear that our team’s dedication, from regular policy reviews to personalized support during unexpected events, has made a positive impact. We’re especially glad we could be there for you during such a challenging time after the fire. Helping protect what matters most to you is always our top priority. Thank you for recommending our office — we’re grateful to have you as part of the Pat Brown State Farm family!"

"Very easy to work with. Takes the time to explain changes to policies. Listens and explains any issues. Always makes for you."

"I enjoy visiting with my customers. Feel it is very important for everyone to know what insurance policy coverages before a loss - not after a loss."
