Easily the best insurance office Ive worked with. They are incredibly responsive and helpful, with excellent rates and coverage. I have called a few times needing help switching to the office or when I changed vehicles and each time (Ive spoken with Whitney and Monica) the issue was resolved within a few minutes and zero hassle. Cant recommend enough.

I was referred to this agency by my partner who recently switched their insurance to Mariko Locke State Farm from Geico. Whitney was responsive, professional and knowledgeable about explaining insurance to me. State Farm was able to get me a better rate and better coverage. Also, I truely appreciate that I can walk into their office during business hours and talk to a real person. Thank you Mariko and staff!

Best insurance agency I’ve ever dealt with, hands down. Everyone is friendly and always extremely helpful. They’ve made insurance painless, and even saved us a lot of money over the years. Can’t recommend enough.

I get a lot of offers from other insurance companies to save $. I am sometimes tempted to look into, however I old school and believe you get what you pay for. Kendra at Mario Locke has always been so wonderful and helpful that I can not switch. She has always helped me immediately, with any and all issues. From multiple house sales, multiple car accidents or life insurance for business deals or for family security, she is the best!

Historically, I’ve not had to interface much with my insurance company. “Insurance”, it’s always been something just, well, “obligatory”. However, during the last few months, I’ve had some circumstances to put them to the test. My review is based on my last three interactions with Whitney. She’s been a gem. I could say that she’s been professional, a great communicator, etc. While all that’s been true, I’ll just say that after my last few interactions with her, I’m no longer looking around for other insurance options (there are plenty of options) because I doubt that I’ll find another Whitney elsewhere. She’s exceeded my expectations in every way. Straight forward in her communication, keeps her obligations (follows through), and above all, she’s been personable and honest with me; and this goes a long way for me. Five starts. Keep up the great work and thank you Whitney!

Working with Whitney at this location has been amazing! She is so helpful, answers all of my millions of questions and always gets back to me in a professional and customer centric way. She brings a nice personal touch to her work and she knows her stuff. She makes insurance more fun. Thank you for all you do!

State Farm has been an excellent value; we switched from a competitor last year and are very happy. I especially appreciate Whitney‘s incredible responsiveness and helpfulness in going through the transfer process and answering follow-up questions as they come up. Also, our rates have gone down since going with SF, and Whitney was very helpful in with that.

Could switching auto insurance be any easier? Whitney made my switch from Geico to State Farm the best experience ever! Much more coverage and a lower rate and it literally took 15 minutes to bind coverage. Whitney was so helpful and professional. I Highly recommend giving her call or stopping into Mariko Locke’s State Farm office in the Hawthorne district. #supportlocalsmallbusinesses

I have insured numerous vehicles with Mariko Locke in the last 10 years and have had nothing but great experience working with her team. I currently have 3 vehicles insured with them and was recently notified that my rate had gone down by 16% without my even asking. If you want the best rates in town with the friendliest professional service, go to Mariko!

I have always had a great experience with Mariko as my agent, her staff is also so very wonderful. When ever I had something come up with my policy they were always right there for me. My coverage through State Farm is fantastic! When I had to tow my car to an auto shop it didnt cost me a thing. I really enjoy being able to go into the office and speaking to someone face to face. Mariko, Howard, and Kendra have all waited on me and they are truly nice people and care about my needs as a customer. I would highly recommend Mariko as an Agent!!! Plus, they always have treats in the office :)

During my last 23 years of being an Autoglass Vendor to the Insurance industry, I have made the rounds to virtually every Insurance office in Portland, Vancouver and beyond. During my visits it has become quite clear to me about what separates a good agency from and excellent one. The excellent ones hire the right kind of staff who go beyond the call of duty to exceed their insureds needs. They will work tirelessly making sure if you have any type of claim, it’s handled timely and fairly. If it’s a large or catastrophic claim, these superb Insurance offices check back while said claim is being worked on, keeping their clients in the loop. This adds piece of mind to their clients. Excellent agencies will offer free annual reviews to make sure based upon their client’s needs are properly covered explaining all facets of the coverage they have and what they may want. I can say unequivocally that the Mariko Locke agency is one of the excellent agencies. Don’t take my word for it, call Mariko and schedule a FREE consultation. She has extensive knowledge of all types of coverages and more, With just one meeting, based on what you share with her, she can tell whether you’re under insured, over insured or adequately covered, thereby saving you time and money. Mariko has over 20 years of keeping her many clients happy. She truly cares! You will feel that the very first time you meet with her.

Howard Lao has been my agent for 1 year now and has been nothing but consistently amazing and helpful. Keeping up with rent raises and other financial surprises have been truly difficult at times. In several of these times Howard Lao has done what he can to help relieve my stress and help me with my insurance rates. When every dollar matters, it is a huge help to have someone care and help. I highly recommend him and Mariko Locke State Farm as a whole to anyone seeking an agency that they can trust.

I was just filling out a feedback form on State Farms website & it made me reflect a little on my State Farm agent, Mariko Locke, and her team. Paying your insurance bill is not the most fun way to spend your money. When your policies provide the most value is usually when you are in the thick of a difficult event — car accident, water damage or worse — and when you are not likely to be able to step back and appreciate all the work and care that goes into providing you with security and peace of mind during a challenging time. When I filled out the survey today, I did spend a few minutes thinking about my interactions with Mariko and her team. They are responsive, competent and thoroughly professional. I would recommend them extremely highly to anyone.

Review №35

When my husband and I bought our house in Portland in 1998, a friend suggested we check with her agent, Mariko Locke for homeowners insurance. Mariko saw that our 1923 house was insurable and was so great to work with, we switched our car insurance to her State Farm Agency. The times we have had to make claims the staff has been helpful and caring. So much so that when we retired to Lincoln City in 2013, we kept both our house and car insurance with Mariko. Most recently, Howard facilitated car repair for a parking lot hit and run. Thank you for all the years of great service. Justin and Ross Huffman-Kerr

I recently came to this establishment based on a recommendation from a friend. The first thing I noticed was that the place was very clean. Im kind of a germaphobe and I think it says a lot when a place isnt clean and well kept. I spoke with a clean cut young man named Howard. He was very nice and charismatic with every thing. He answered all my little questions like renters insurance and electric cars. He definitely helped me get over this...hurdle. I highly recommend that any one who is looking for insurance or even just needs questions answered goes to this place. I guarantee theyll be answered!

My family has been with Mariko for more than 20 years. Mariko and her staff are great! They are professional, personal, and trustworthy. Howard recently helped me file a claim with another insurance company after someone backed into my car. He was easy to communicate with (by phone and email), and I appreciate how he followed up with me later to see how things were going.I for sure recommend Mariko Lockes agency!

Great experience. Whitney was welcoming, fast and knowledgeable. I recommend Marino’s office to anyone who values good customer service. If I have questions I can talk to a real live person. I do not like talking to machines-that’s why I choose StateFarm. They’re there for you when you need them. Thanks for making my overall insurance experience easy and painless!

A couple weeks ago, I spoke with Howard about a quote with State Farm. Although I stuck with my original policy, I almost paid the extra money just because Howard went out of his way to ensure I got the cheapest quote possible. He was very nice, intelligent, and knew 100% what he was doing. If everyone in customer service was as helpful as Howard then this world would be amazing! Thanks for your time.

I just got off the phone with Howard from State Farm and he was absolutely wonderful and helping me with anything and everything. He went over my policy with me and broke everything down in the terms that I could understand, he let me know what I could raise to help me and we upped my policy in three different categories and added rental car coverage and Im only paying $13 more month. Very happy with the outcome.

From my first call to Mariko Lockes offices (chosen solely by virtue of geography), I have had excellent service. She and her staff stepped right up to make sure my home purchase went without a hitch, helped me transfer my auto insurance, and in general, did all they could to make my transition to Portland as smooth as possible. Well done!!

Adulting can suck at times not to mention insurance can get a bit confusing. I had an amazing experience with State Farm by talking to Howard Lao discussing my options on car insurance. I’ve been looking to switch to reduce my monthly payments I am currently paying with another insurance company.He made it sound so much less confusing and even gave me an estimate if I was to switch. He was super friendly and went above and beyond to help me this day. Not to mention gave me a clear understanding of where my money is going towards in terms of coverage and such! I’d highly recommend seeing him if you’re in the Portland area.Thanks How!

Review №51

I usually dont use fun and insurance in the same sentence. But we just switched our State Farm policies to this agency and found an office full of fascinating and kindred spirits. Kendra Tipton, who spent many years in musical theater before getting into insurance, not only found more than $500 in premium refunds that we were due, but also broke into song during our meeting. She discovered that we had been overcharged premiums for our personal liability policy for several years because we had been placed in the wrong risk category. She also went over our auto policies and homeowners insurance and took care of our daughters rental insurance. We look forward -- really! -- to working with Locke Agency for years to come. Extra perks: Free bottled water adorned with a picture of Mariko Locke and her amazing hair, free parking in back and a Zen rock garden out front. Bring your own rake.

I appreciated Howards customer service. He was very helpful and I will definately name their agency as my personal agency. We have been State Farm customers in Portland over 50 years. We had excellent service from an agent for 50 years, then he retired and the interim agent was not an asset to the company and has since moved on. Thanks Howard, you made me feel right at home.

Mariko & her team are seamlessly amazing!It doesnt matter what I need or when, they make it clear, simple and fast. This is just what is needed in the insurance industry.

Review №58

I found Mariko when I returned to Portland in 2001 and, in the many years that have passed since, her staff has consistently provided top-notch support (shout out to Kendra, if shes still there, and Howard!). When I met my husband in 2008, we moved our home insurance and my husband moved his car insurance to Mariko Lockes State Farm office as well. They currently insure our two houses and three vehicles, so over the years weve needed help with various claims and other needs. More than once weve been on the road, in different time zones with spotty coverage, calling in with emergent time-sensitive paperwork needs (like when our mortgage holder erroneously accused us of having no home insurance, which would have voided our contract), and the Locke team has always come through. Most recently, I called to cancel the policy for a vehicle we sold and the associate (thank you, Monica!) reminded me that we can just suspend it until we replace it rather than later starting a new policy and losing our good-standing points. I suppose most companies might give that kind of notice but its just one example. The point is that I know I can count on them to suggest ideas that benefit my family. Top marks!

This line is asking me to describe my experience. Its challenging to formulate a narrative about how fantastic the service is here. Monica is the Darling who assisted me, and I was mesmerized by her knowledge and got a genuine feeling she was doing the best for me; not just trying to empty my fanny pack of all my hard earned dolla bills. Its too bad they only give me 5 stars to choose from because this place is a 10! Thanks state farm and helper lady Monica! Toodles
