Both Kevin and Mia have been so great through this entire process of finding home insurance and we keep coming back to them. Their customer service and hard work goes above and beyond truly. Kevin has bent over backwards trying to help us and we are so grateful we have him in our corner. Highly recommend using them! Very responsive! When I thought we didnt have any choices for insurance due to living out in the middle of no where Kevin just wouldnt except that and dug deep to find us a good plan. Im amazed at their hard work! Highly recommended. Thank you Kevin and Mia!
I just want to say that Kevin is amazing. He overheard a conversation I was having on the phone with another agent and didnt feel that it was being handled right. I had hung up feeling very dissatisfied with the call. Kevin himself called me back and explained to me what was happening and how it could be handled to my satisfaction. He really put me at ease with the situation and helped me work through it. I felt like I had someone in my corner. Thanks so much Kevin for your time, patience and consideration in this matter. Ive been a customer for a few years and Kevin made me feel like Ill enjoy being a customer for quite a few more.
Great communication, great rate. Nice to speak with a local agent. Process was painless. Will surely recommend to neighbors.
Southern Family Insurance is great! I called to get a quote for insurance for my mobile home and ended up with the best coverage and best price out of all the companies i called. Maya was very helpful and made the process very simple. Thank you so much!
Very personable. Always ready to help. Enjoyed talking with Maya for past year. She was very passionate and helpful. I’ve already recommended them to several friends. Thank you again for your services.
This company has no respect for their customers. And I quote this is the actual message I received from this insurance Agency (This is Kevin at Southern Family Insurance. I think what would be best is if you come to the office, and sign a cancellation request for this insurance, and take your business to another agency. I can only explain it to you so many times, I cant understand it for you too. You say you are going to get your attorney on this, well I will be glad for you to pay him so he can explain to you exactly what I am explaining to you. Go ahead and spend the money, its your prerogative. EVERYTHING IS 100% CORRECT as it has happened, but you cant seem to understand it. I am no crook, nor will I every be thought of that way and thats what you think of us, because you think we have TAKEN your money, when we havent. So please come sign and cancel the policy, and we shall part ways. I dont need this in my agency. Please dont call here anymore, as my staff have been instructed to not take your calls going forward) so if you were to have someone take care of your money on insurance agreement be careful before you sign
I contacted the agency because I did not think I had received a current invoice. They sent me a duplicate and the payment went out to them timely. The service was great and I enjoyed the exchange! Thank-you!
They are very professional, will work on getting you insured. Better rates than what I was getting with the online insurers, who I was with for 6 years. Call Kevin for all your homeowner and auto insurance needs. He has my home and car insured. He will find you a better rate.
Kevin was very courteous, helpful and was able to provide quotes for homeowners insurance which surpassed what we currently had. We thank Kevin for his assistance and professionalism in getting the job done!!
Nicole and Kevin both provided friendly, personalized and prompt customer service. They went above and beyond during a time when I was having trouble getting other insurance companies to even answer the phone or respond to emails. Every single question I had was thoroughly answered. Thank you for making at least one aspect of the home buying process pain free!
I am so happy I chose this company. Kevin has went beyond my expectations to help us get every document we needed and called the mortgage company with me on the line just to help me get thru all that ai didn’t understand. He has kept me updated with copies of everything the bank needed. I have never had an insurance company that has done so much to make sure I had nothing to worry with. His personality is outstanding & I appreciate all of his patience he has had with making sure nothing would slow our closing date, he did it all on my 1st call. I HIGHLY recommend him.
Awesome service. We tried 9 other companies that wouldnt insure our home because it was older than 15 years and they had no problems helping us cover our new home! So appreciative to find them and Maya Smith promptly answered questions and took quick care of our needs! Thank you all so much!
Kevin, thank you so much for your help with my insurance. It was a pleasure talking with you on May 24. You went out of the way to fix my problems & you made my day. Thank you again. AND THAT SHOULD BE ASIX STAR REVIEW.
Very customer friendly! Called at just about closing time and received great service. Would recommend!
Thank you Southern Family Insurance, my experience requesting an insurance quote was very pleasant. Maya thank you for the time you worked with me and finding a good policy that worked for me. I will happily share information about you company. Maya you are a great representative for your company. Thank you
Southern did an incredible job finding us home insurance. They made sure to walk us through everything step by step. Super helpful!
Irresponsible, poor communicator, and cheats his own insurance company by recommending UNLICENSED electrician (and pal). I had to change agents to get my policy approved by its deadline. Kevin and his asst offered nothing but excuses and blame. Sound and fury signifying nothing. Check out his wifes fake review and ask yourself how many others are fake.
Weve been working with Keven and his colleague for almost 10 years, and they are consistently professional, responsive, and give us the straight scoop. Love working with them.
Maya was very helpful to get me the best insurance and she provided additional recommendations to lower my premiums. Truly a family business as I felt like they treated me as family.
Kevin Smith helped me get a new insurance for my house. He was very helpful and walk me thru in detail. Highly recommended insurance service.
Fantastic customer service. Every time I go to southern for help with insurance, I am never disappointed
Ive been with them for a long time they have always treated me great. I never had a problem with them. Kevin has been amazing I just recently ran into an issue was national general insurance and Kevin went above and beyond to help me and to help me solve my problem I dont know what I would have done without his help Im grateful for southern family insurance I wouldnt go anywhere else I highly recommend them to anybody.
Excellent service. We tried to get renters insurance through so many other companies and in the end it was Kevin Smith with Southern Family Insurance that helped us! So thankful to them for taking care of us and for such an easy process. Would highly recommend them!
Kevin Smith was extremely helpful and I would recommend calling if you want to get a great deal on your insurance!
Amazing service, Maya was wonderful she helped me with my car insurance and got me a very good deal price wise and coverage better than what I had, I totally appreciate them 💯
Fantastic service, speed and communication. Will be using Kevin again without hesitation for my clients Insurance needs. Couldnt have asked for anything more!
I have been doing Business with this company for over ten years and they are top notch.
Kevin was very helpful, he reviewed all insurance companies to find the best rate.
I really appreciated Nicole helping out with my difficult to place policy. Would do business with these folks again!
I am very happy with my experience at Southern Family Insurance Services. Im not well versed in Insurance, specifically the terminology and the requirements but Keven took the time to explain the key concepts and answer my questions.
I have been a customer for 10 years and am grateful for Kevins thoughtful approach to maintaining my homeowners insurance policy. As a first time home builder in 2010, my ignorance was only exceeded by my anxiety as my wife and I navigated the home building process. Kevin made shopping and purchasing the policy we needed simple and straightforward, and we were able to find a reputable, dependable company at a reasonable price. Kevin has been an invaluable resource ever since and I am grateful for his service!
I already love Kevin, he is very professional, aware of customers needs and works hard for me. Am first time homeowner of house paid cash for and didnt know to have insurance prior to purchase. Kevin walked me through the process and am so ever thankful. Youngman, great job this is how you get great customers.
I had excellent customer service! Friendly, knowledgeable and experienced staff!
Kevin M. Smith Is a scholar and a gentleman. While shopping around for homeowners (hazard) insurance I was given many different quotes that were nowhere near what I used to pay. Kevin was able to find me the best deal. In no time I had all the documents needed to submit to my mortgage company. I would highly recommend anyone for any insurance need to contact Southern Family Insurance Services.Thank you Mr.Kevin.
Kevin is rude, every time I’ve called he’s had an attitude and a slick response to everything I’ve asked. Had insurance with them for 3 years and when I asked for proof of insurance so I could switch to another agency they magically couldn’t find any of my past policies. It’s cheap though so y’all got that going.
Id give this company a 10 star review if that were possible. I was totally delighted with the response I received when I called them. I spoke with Kevin, and he went out of his way to find me the most reasonable insurance that I could afford. He truly knows the business....was kind, considerate, caring, passionate about his work, and TOTALLY a truly wonderful young man. I also spoke with other members of his staff who were also very kind and helpful. Id feel comfortable recommending him to anyone I come across who is looking for home owners insurance. Thank you, Kevin, for everything....
Ive been dealing with Southern Family Insurance for at least 7+ years now. Its always a pleasure to get quotes for my auto since ever so often I like to check for the best pricing. They are always happy to help. I also have had the privilege of insuring our home thru one of their companies in the past. Most things are able to be handled over the phone but if you do have to go in the office its never a long wait. I am truly happy to have come across them since I live out about 45min away but worth every mile. Thank you for the wonderful customer service, which is a rare these days.
I had 3 hours to find a home insurance company that my lender would approve so that I can close on my house on our set closing date. I reached out to 10 different insurance agencies and this one was by far the most understanding and helpful. Kevin Smith at Southern Family Insurance knew what I needed and did everything in his power to make sure I would have it in time. Highly recommend this company and this agent in particular if anyone is looking for home insurance!
Kevin was so nice and helpful would definitely recommend
This insurance agency has been delightful to work with. From the very beginning I knew they were the one for me. They were patient and answered all my questions in a way that I could understand. If you have insurance needs and would like an agency that values you as a customer and will help you, please call them.
5 star service. Kevin went above and beyond to help me obtain the insurance coverage I needed for my home, he was meticulous and made himself accountable for the entire process from beginning to the very end. Highly recommended. Thank you Kevin and God bless.
My brother carried this insurance for over 10 years without any problems, I took over the policy when he passed and I have to say Kevin Smith ROCKS it! Thank you Kevin!!!
Very friendly staff.Nicole and Maya were awesome
Most definitely would reccomend to my family and friends. People here are super friendly and knowledgeable and the prices beat any other place I checked. Love it!
Excellent company. I am so grateful for everyone in the office. They helped me out with everything great quote, excellent customer service. All around amazing people I would highly recommend this company...
Kevin was able to do what seemed impossible for about 10 other agencies! Thank you so much for such a quick turn around time, coverage and price!!!Víctor & Barbara Happacher
Fast. Convenient. Affordable. After Fl___ Special_ Insuran_e went belly up, we needed new HOME OWNERS insurance. Our current carrier was NOT helpful - but, Keven, with Southern Family was! He made the process simple! I recommend!
Great job! Kevin worked really hard and got us a policy when others could not. I only wish we found this insurance agency sooner!
I made one phone call and the rest is history!! Very warming was put at ease immediately and was able to answer all my questions and concerns. Very pleased with this company already.
Great insurance agents, family oriented business and very knowledgeable. Maya went out of her way to help and find insurance that fit my family. Amazing service, very happy
Kevin worked wonderfully with my realtor and I to get me to my closing. He was friendly and professional, I highly recommend!
Kevin Smith was most helpful in obtaining my homeowners policy. Owning a modular or doublewide is harder to insure and some companies FLAT OUT SAID NO-- Not Kevin - he called companies and found the coverage I wanted at half the price I paid another agency last year way to go Kevin
These guys and girl (Sarah) are the best in the Insurance business. They will go above and beyond to find you the best rates. They even took the time to print a document for me that I needed for an unrelated appointment I had later that day. I recommend giving them a chance to discuss your insurance needs and to allow them to give you a quote.
Great service, Very friendly and extremely helpful. Been with them for about 5 yrs now, found me great prices for my auto and homeowners policies. Maja and Kevin treat you just like family.
I have been using Southern Family Insurance Services for the last four years to insure my home, I bought my home four years ago and they were the first call I made to secure insurance coverage for the purchase. I did not know who to call but I made the best choice even though it was a random call. The people here have always been very helpful when I have had questions or if I needed an insurance review. They have excellent customer service and always respond promptly to my questions. I would recommend them to anyone.
Kevin & Mya are so pleasant to work with. Just signed up for mobile home insurance and couldn’t be more happier. Thanks Kevin & Mya!!
Numerous emails were sent asking for a copy of my policy. Coverage has been on this property for years. Despite e-mailing documents requested, I am still waiting.Update- After posting this review, I received a copy of the policy was sent. I also received an interesting email which I have attached below. This speaks volumes. The original email correspondence began several months ago. What I find unacceptable is how responsibility is shifted on the customer for not calling the office. Luckily, I have not had to make a claim on this policy. I can only imagine how that would go.REPLY FROM INSURANCE COMPANYI see that you your original email request on 5/1/19 to me, did you ever call the agency seeking assistance, or only this email???I see that you left a negative review on Google. I would like to ask you to remove the review as you only emailed asking for something without calling the agency. I was on vacation and when I got back, I took care of your request. Had you of contacted the agency directly, it would have been handled promptly. Please tell me how I could have helped you any better than I did? Please change your review to a positive review or remove it completely. Per your review, you have been insured with us for 10 years and have been with 4 different companies throughout those 10 years. We look forward to taking care of your insurance needs for many years to come, but strive on giving the best customer service that we can and feel that we have done so for you for the last 10 years as well.Thank you in advance for your assistance and future business.
Quick response, very professional and knowledgeable.
I was in need of a new policy and needed it quick. Kevin got me a great policy and went through everything step by step. He definitely took the stress out of finding the lowest rate and best policy for me. Highly recommended!
Maya is amazing very customer service friendly she’ll try to get you the rate you want and meet all your needs :)
I prefer to use small insurance companies versus large chain corporations, and the prices are always affordable. Communication was my biggest issue with this company. I started a policy for my partner and I, which was fine with the person who started the policy for me. But, if I didnt speak directly with her, anyone else wouldnt allow me to do anything with the policy. It was aggravating because my partner was never available. We never got around to canceling our insurance with them either, because of course they wouldnt accept me canceling albeit I started the policy myself.
Wow, what can I say, they are very Professional, Courteous and Friendly. They go out of there way to help you! Thank You Kevin for going above and beyond!
I have been using Southern Family Insurance Services, LLC Downtown Lakeland for my Homeowners Insurance since May 2012. Chris Jones has been my Representative with them every since. I could not ask for a better Rep. He prices and shops policies every year for me. I am confident and comfortable with him/them. I would defiantly recommend anyone to call him to get a good quote. I am not disappointed and I do not believe you would be either.
We were searching for more where others wanted us to insure for less and Kevin called and met all of our expectations and we were impressed with how easy it was with Southern Family Insurence!Cat and JC
What a friendly company with which to do business. You are treated like a valued customer. Both Kevin the owner and Victor, my agent were a pleasure to deal with and look forward to many more years of doing business together.
Great company and very nice staff. I’ve never had to shop around because I have always gotten great rates on my home and auto. Thank you Southern Family for the love you have shown my family and I throughout the years
Kevin at Southern Family Insurance Rocks! Dont go anywhere else this guy is on it!!!!! Thanks Kevin!!!!!!2021 and Im still as happy as ever with this company! Theres not enough good things I could say about the people who work here. They take care of my home Auto and everything else that I need. Frank thanks for always going above and beyond!
An awesome group! Ive been with them for years and they always do their best to satisfy you. Very helpful, patient,and understanding too. Id recommend any and everyone to them!
Friendly fast knowledgeable and affordable insurance. They compare numerous rates and find the best rate quickly. You can even do everything over the phone. They make the process super easy!!!
Great team of people to work with finding the best rates for my home and businessAny time I have a question it is within hours they have an answer and help for any issue we haveThank you for being there for us!
After looking for better and more affordable auto insurance I ran across advertisement by Southern Family Insurance in the Polk Gazette magazine. Im pleased to say that Kevin not only lowered my rates but extended my coverage as well. These are the best and most honest insurance agents in Lakeland. Thank you Kevin and Southern Family Insurance Services.
I found this company through a Google search. I called and spoke to Kevin who was extremely helpful and made me feel comfortable! This is now my insurance company and I would highly recommend them.
I worked with Kevin who made the buying of home insurance almost painless. He explained everything in detail and let me know that should I need him for anything he would be there for me! I highly recommend Kevin and his agency they are the best. Kevin did not rest until my home was insured!Sincerely, John Ford
I had the pleasure of speaking with Chris, Kevin and Victor while looking to cover a new home purchase. They were very professional and knowledgeable. I will be contacting SFIS soon for my auto insuranceas well. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I have enjoyed working with Kevin and appreciate the assistance he has provided in obtaining Home Owners Insurance for my mobile home. Very easy to work with including quick response on his part.
Ive been with this company for 9+years they offer the best rates in town and the customer service is top notch. THANKS KEN
Value = Cost + Benefits. Southern Family Insurance delivers on cost AND benefits. Kevin Smith has earned all of my insurance business because he delivers on both. I made the comment a couple of years ago that he now has everything but my dog covered, and he informed me that my dog was indeed covered under my policies too. lol
Southern Family Insurance is a great place to have your auto or homeowners insurance with. Kevin and his team are quick to respond to inquiries and their customer service is excellent. I have already referred 5 of my friends to them and each of them also signed up. I give them a 5 star rating.
They made it impossible to cancel my plan when I sold both my cars, then wanted to charge me another month for both and lowered my credit score I highly recommend you stay away
Excellent service. I initially insured my auto insurance and then added my home and business. I love having just one agency to contact regarding my insurance needs. I know I am well taken care of.
Rudest man, Kevin, answered. Said he couldnt give me information on someone he sold a policy to after she hit my car and tried to leave the scene. She purchased a policy 2 days after the incident. He raised his voice, called me ignorant and said I was just mad because he wouldnt give me confidential information. He began to talk about scenarios of why people would try to get information. I said, Okay. Can you please verify your name ? He responded, Call YourOwnInsuranc ! I asked again for his name. He again responded, My name is CallYourOwnInsurance! Im done with you now and hung up.
Sarah Coward (dont let her last name fool you - shell go to bat on your behalf with a vengeance) is awesome. One of the friendliest people Ive had the pleasure of dealing with and Im grateful SFIS represents me and my family! :)
Very knowledgeable Policy was completed quickly. Great price too!!
Everyone up there are very helpful. Nice people, polite and really good insurance rates. I recommend them to everyone(:
I was refered here from a friend. He got me in touch with kevin. He has been so AMAZING getting me the best quote he can every time! He really has the customers beat interest in mind. I cant say enough good things about him and this company! Thank you so much!
I have been using this insurance company for many years and Kevin in the lakeland Florida office has done an excellent job, everyone in the office is eager to help !!!.
Very nice and easy to work with no pressure at all. Sarah C. was extremely helpful and Courteous.
Mr. Smith was extremely helpful. It is clear that customer service is first and foremost and at the heart of Southern Family Insurance Services. Thank you!!!
After dealing with a nightmare of an insurance company, Kevin was so kind and got me a rate that cut what I was paying before IN HALF!!!! Best insurance agency Ive ever dealt with.
The man was friendly and helpful. The lady Ive interacted with was barely helpful. They are good at finding cheap rates
Extremely helpful .Will treat you right and will do whatever they can to help you.
I came to Southern Family Insurance soley because of Kevin Smith with whom I had a previous business relationship. He was easily able to offer me the best products for my budget and I trust him. Thanks, Kevin.
Excellent service. Agents shop policy through their other carriers to lower my insurance rates whenever possible. They have insurance for my home, business and vehicles. Could not ask for more.
Love these guys! They helped me with everything fast. I will not go anywhere else.
Southern Family insurance services work wirh you to find what insurance that best fixs you.I Been with them many years.The staff is very helpful.(Sara.and Kelvin).
I HAVE BEEN WITH THIS COMPANY FOR A WHILE NOW U LOVE TGE ENVIRONMENT, AS WELL AS THE EMPLOYEES CERY WARMING .
Glad to get a quick quote on my insurance, actually talked to Kevin, the owner. I dont know about you, but I feel better trusting my insurance to a local owned and operated agency, than those companies that must spend a gazillion dollars on cute TV ads.
Very nice and polite man will refer other to him without a doubt nice working with you Kevin
I love this company they make you feel like your apart of there family.
