Houston Richards is truly amazing and a pleasure to work with. After getting a handful of quotes, Houstons quote was the most competitive with great coverage options. He is patient and goes the extra mile to understand your needs and particular situation to get the most accurate pricing for my policy. On top of that, he is very friendly, articulate, and responsive. In my opinion, the quality of your agent is equally important as the quality of your policy. I cant say enough good things about Houston. I highly recommend him!

Houston and his team are amazing! Theyve been taking care of me and my family for a few years now. They are professional, responsive, and just down to earth. Did I mention how great the rates are? When Houston first gave me a quote for car insurance...my jaw dropped to the floor (in a very good way). If you are in the market for car, home, or life insurance Houston is your guy!

Ive had a great experience with everyone Ive come in contact with at Houston Richards, but Cathy in particular goes above and beyond whats expected of her. She always greets me by name, and with a smile. Her great attention to detail caught something I missed on my auto policy that could have significantly affected my coverage. Im very grateful to Cathy, as well as the rest of the team, for their kindness and professionalism!

State Farm has always been top notch when it comes to meeting your needs and helping you get the lowest quotes. Julie Westhefer is a wonderful agent and she is so down to earth and comfortable to talk to. She helps me in any situation I might find myself in. Shes honestly the best agent Ive had the pleasure of talking to over the phone. State Farm really is the best insurance my son and I have ever had.

The team is always helpful and responsive. Cathy always does everything she can to ensure my insurance is setup properly and explains the details if asked. Been with this team for over 25 years. Thanks!

A friend recommended Houston and I’m glad she did because he’s been so helpful this last year that I’ve been with him! I unexpectedly bought a condo as I had to relocate for my job. Moved cities. Then sold the condo after less than a year and moved cities again to an apartment. Also bought a new car. Houston was very helpful and very quick to address my needs. He even brought my car insurance down $30 a month with better benefits than the other company I was with!

The guys and gals at this office are amazing :-) They are kind but professional. They listen to truly understand your family’s needs. My Account Manager Jeremy Bowles took really good care of my husband and I. We sat and talked for hours. Felt like chatting with a good friend vs buying insurance from an agent lol

We are very thankful for the Houston Richards State Farm team. Each person we have worked with has been wonderful. Julie Westhefer helped us update each of our policies due to some discrepancies and immediately follow up with emails to ensure everything looked correct. Jeremy Bowles set us up with our homeowners policy when we bought our first house, and Houston ensured a smooth transition when we transferred all of our policies over. My husband and I couldnt have asked for a better experience for all the major steps we have taken in life!

We bought home and auto insurance in August. We were satisfied with the price and the agent. Tyler. Was wonderful. Then within 3 weeks, the cost for the auto insurance increased. State Farm told my agent it was because my 26 yr old son had only had his license for 2 yrs! Absolutely false. He has been driving for 10 years. They refused to accept the proof that he was driving at 16. Our auto policy was canceled without notice to us or our agent, Tyler. We drove several days not knowing we did not have insurance 😡 Luckily I was able to go back to Grinnell without a problem. We currently have our home owners insurance through State Farm but we are checking with other companies. Tyler should look for a job with a reputable company. He was absolutely wonderful

Tyler Pugh has been great to work with thorough, a great listener to concerns or questions. There is a undeniably large amount of success that will be rewarded to him for the help he has given me through this process of Home & Auto Insurance.I also encourage others interested to consider other products State Farm offers Tyler did an excellent job at explaining that State Farm is more the just insurance. What I took from it is that it assures financial literacy starts with you in order to sustain wealth and protection for your family. Go Tyler!!!!Oh and Cathy is hilarious lovely introduction into a great office team! Thanks in advance for the housewarming gift way to kind guys!!

Review №37

We met Houston at an event almost a year ago. At that time we decided to stay with our provider. Houston asked if he could follow up with us in the next year if he had any great offers come up. To our surprise, he did! Houstons commitment to customer service and follow through are unmatched. We also get to save some money in a time when that is crucial.

I switched my car and home with them and glad I did.I highly recommend this office.Get a quote from them and save money without compromising your coverage.

Cathy at this agency is amazing. I got a great rate on both my auto and homeowners. This agency works for you and obviously cares about its clients. Cathy especially put a lot of effort into helping me get the best rate and experience with State Farm possible. Loyalty is important to us, so right now I would never consider another insurance company.

Amazing Experience!I just bought my first car and was nervous about the payment until Houston contacted me to let me know State Farm could help! I had no idea State Farm worked with vehicle financing but SO glad I do now! Houston was able to save me $40 a month, $700 refund from the original financial institution and a 45 day grace period before my first payment.This is the kind of hospitality you need in your life. Thanks Houston!

Review №59

I was getting price quotes for a new insurance as my current provider seemed a bit high. I was contacted by Jeremy Bowles. He was friendly and understanding what I was looking for. I was going back and forth if I wanted to go through the processing of switching everything over. He was a great help and there was no pressure either way. He listened to my concerns and did not try to sell me anything that I did not need. It was a great experience, I have already recommended some of my friend to reach out for a quote.

I recently made the switch from AMFAM to State Farm. Houston was able to offer me a great rate, was wonderful at communicating and very prompt when I stated I needed coverage ASAP. Tyler also helped me out. He answered all my questions and laid out different options for me to maximize my savings. All in all..such profound customer service!

Review №61

I cant say enough about the service here at Houston Richards State Farm. Jessica was the associate who worked quotes for us on auto and homeowners insurance, and I have to say she managed to save us over $1000 a year on both!! Compared to the previous insurance company we had been with for many, many years we are now receiving more coverage for less money and thats a big win in the books for me! She even suggested some of State Farms banking products such as checking and money market accounts to which we also took advantage of. Also, we added a life insurance policy on my youngest daughter, just in case, since student loans are starting to rack up. Thank you so much, Jessica and Houston Richards State Farm! You are winners in my book!!!

We recently switched from Progressive to State Farm. They were able to offer us great rates that exceeded our expectations. We had the pleasure of working with Tyler Pugh, he took the time to answer all of our questions and lay out different options and ways for us to maximize savings. We have multiple needs, full coverage, liability, a teenage driver, motorcycle insurance, and renters insurance.

We just bought a second car and there was no doubt in our mind that we would continue working with Houston.

State Farm was able to beat our previous insurance prices with great coverage. #statefarmforlife

Absolutely terrible service. When I was first in contact with Houston Richards for a vehicle loan it seemed to be a smooth process. I had to wait 2 days for my previous loan to fall off my credit before moving forward. Once it fell off not only was i completely unable to get ahold of Richards but he didnt give any effort to reach back to me. The people at the office would say hes busy, which is understandable, and that he would reach back. To this day; No calls, emails, voicemails, mail, nothing. This was weeks ago. Stacy Schell, the other SF agent, is nice and very prompt but even with a 700 (avg) score I was denied.No worries cause I went with Mazuma Auto who approved me for a 12k loan at 8% interest the same day I applied. Im an understanding person, a simple call back explaining things come up wouldve been fine but I guess not everyone is worth their time.
