Time for renewal Homeowners Policy and had a few questions regarding some coverages. Spoke with Tyler Davis, who was very professional and knowledgeable, and he checked on a couple of things for me and was back to me with answers to all of my questions in a very timely fashion. Very pleased with my past and present experiences with Don Bullard Insurance and especially with my recent interactions with Tyler Davis.

In December my former Home and Auto insurance policies were set to renew/expire. When I logged into my account I had found that the agent who set up the policy was no longer with the company and my new agent was just the home office. This was a little disheartening as I love having the ability to talk to a local agent if the need should arise. I have known Heather with Don Bullard Insurance for about a year and she is very knowledgeable in her field. Since I had the opportunity to shop around I reached out to her first. Heather is simply amazing. Even during the holiday festivities, Heather was very easy to get in contact with. I gave Heather the information she requested along with what my current coverage was and what I thought I needed for the future. Heather not only responded quickly, but sent over multiple quotes explaining the value and benefit of each one. Not only that, but I was also able to get the same of slightly better coverage at a cheaper rate which is amazing as I know insurance rates have gone up recently due to mother nature and various other things that happened in 2020. In this time where we need to get the most for our dollars, I would highly recommend getting a no obligation quote from Heather. If you are in a great spot, she will tell you and wont try to sway you from that. I feel much better knowing that I am not just a number in the system and that if the time comes that I need to utilize my insurance, that I have Heather on my side to take care of it all! Thank you!

We have a great experience with Don Bullard insurance. We have been working with them for several years and we have nothing but the absolute best to say. RENA BULLOCK is their best agent. She is very professional, knowledgeable and pleasant to work with. She knows how to solve the problems and gets back to us quickly. I highly recommend her and this insurance company. There is no one else on the area who is better than them

Heather and her team are fantastic! Cant say enough nice things about the initial and ongoing experience. They were able to save me money on my home insurance and actually get better coverage for wind policy. They take the time to make sure youre getting the best rate possible and that you understand the policy and coverage amounts. Highly recommend reaching out for a policy review if you live here or starting your insurance search here if you are moving to the area.

I used the online chat box today and was connected with someone who answered my immediate questions on my renewal notice, sent me a copy of my policy and sent a message to my agent to follow up on looking at other options as our rate increased this year. Very easy to use. Will wait to hear from our agent to be set for another year of homeowners insurance.

After 35 plus years with the same insurance company, I decided to see what options were available. Ms. Brown at Don Bullard in Wilmington was able to find me the exact coverage for my home and auto at a substantial savings with reputable companies.The entire process was professional and efficient. I recommend this agency and ms. Brown for your insurance needs.

Hi Sharon,I appreciate your expedited service today. After a 37 year career in insurance and having been retired for ten years, I’m astonished how quickly business gets done today. Of course this depends on the competence and diligence of an agent like you. Thank you for exceeding my expectations.Sincerely,Bill Whitley

I have been dealing with Angelia Brown and Heather Gamester mostly and they both have been great. They are knowledgeable and professional and worked to get me good policies at good prices. I would recommend them very highly. Good service is hard to find, but I found it here.Thank you all!

I Am confused that your professional expertise gives me an answer to a Lighthouse Insurance quote of $4425.00, a very significacant increase, to replying with an undetailed quote for $4900.00. In addition I have learned from your expertise, that my very expensive Certanteed Grand Manno shingles warranteed for 50 years cannot be insured for more than 19 years.Are you telling me that our long term relationship is at an end? It appears that I can do better by myself. ???

Unprofessional and lazy staff. I am not sure what the point of Don Bullard insurance is. They did not help nor did they seem to care about my issue. Extremely disappointing experience. There is way better companies out there. Don’t go with Don if you live Eastern Carolina!

We were customers of another Nation-al Wide insurance provider for years and felt that being loyal would guarantee good rates. It did not. Thankfully someone referred us to Don Bullard insurance and I have been so grateful for that change. You wouldnt believe the amount of money we saved. My customer service experiences with the staff here are always excellent as well. Thank you so much and special shout out to Shannon today in the Wilmington office for coming to my rescue!

Very impressed with Alissa Clifford! I have been working with Alissa for the past several months on both home and auto policies. Alissa listened to my needs and worked promptly to match these with affordable, quality policies. With a busy schedule, Alissa communicated timely and with comprehensive information. She made me feel like I was a priority at Don Bullard Insurance.

For many years Don Bullard was my insurer for my home in leland n.c. not only were his rates much better than any other agency i looked into, but his customer service was second to none.in later years i setteled in another country, and his staff helped me in more ways than i think they were required to .after hurricane flora i could not come to the states. they handled everything in an extremely professional manner. i would recommend Don Bullard to anyone who wants top flight service and great prices. and you can use this review any way you choosethank youCarl and Nadezda schwendenmann

This company provided possibly the worst service imaginable. After being in our home for less than two months my husband and I received a notice, on a Friday, requesting information and a “paid invoice from a professional roof cleaning company showing all algae/roof staining has been removed to determine condition.” This was our first-time hearing of this request and the e-mail indicated that this invoice had to be provided in less than 24 hours. On a Friday. My husband and I spent the entire weekend panicking and unable to reach anyone with the Don Bullard Agency because it was after business hours. When I was finally able to reach someone the following Monday, I was told that a notification was sent prior to the one sent that Friday, but after searching through my inbox, spam, and trash I had yet to find this alleged e-mail. At this point we were now past the deadline that the insurance company had provided to us and were still completely unable to comprehend why the insurance company was requesting that we have our roof cleaned, as the roof had been examined by a licensed general contractor prior to us purchasing the home who found the roof to be in good condition and did not report any issues with algae or roof staining. The customer service rep I was speaking with sent me the inspection from the insurance company, which I was just seeing for the first time. After reviewing the inspection together, the customer service rep agreed that from the pictures that were provided in the inspection there was no reason that the insurance company should be requesting this cleaning occur. She then asked that I send her a brief blurb contesting the need for this cleaning and send it to her and she would also send an e-mail from the Don Bullard Agency stating that they disagreed with this request. I checked in with the customer service rep later that week to see if they had heard anything from the insurance company and she reported that she had not but would reach out the following day.A week after I spoke with the customer service rep for the first time and we received a “Notice of Cancelation” from the insurance company. Once again this was received after work hours and no one at Don Bullard was available to assist after hours. I even tried reaching out to the Agent who sold me the insurance with Don Bullard, Heather Gamester, and the President of that location, Kara Herring, and never received a response from either. At the time my husband was away for military training, it was the middle of hurricane season, and I had no idea what was going on. I decided to call the insurance company directly and was told that they had not received ANY communication from Don Bullard regarding our policy. I was also told that whether Don Bullard agreed with the underwriter’s assessment or not we were still required to have the roof cleaning completed or insurance would be canceled. While the outcome of the assessment may have not been amendable, had we received the assessment when the representative claimed she sent it we would have had more time to switch insurance companies and possibly stay with the Don Bullard Agency. But the way this situation was handled was insulting, incompetent, and unacceptable. We have since switched to a smaller insurance company that cares more about its customers and could not be happier.Moral: Don’t always go with the lowest cost as it is not always the best.

Alissa did an amazing job helping us get all of our insurance information situated before our closing. She responded to emails within minutes, ensuring the communication gap was bridged with all parties involved. I am so appreciative of her help and we would not have been able to complete this process on time without her.

I have been with Don Bullard Insurance for a few years now and they have always been prompt, courteous, and professional. We have six drivers in one household and have bought and sold multiple vehicles, a camper, and even a boat. With so many drivers and vehicles, we have had to adjust our policy many times. Everyone has always been so prompt and courteous whenever I call or email. I highly recommend them! Shannon is the person who usually helps me and she is spot on - I never have to wait long for a return email or phone call. A+ service!

I have to say, Shannon was extremely helpful !! My mortgage company let my homeowners insurance lapse when I did a re-fi. When trying to get it all straightened out, I would not have been able to accomplish everything without her (Shannon). She made sure everything was back in place and was just nice as could be when helping me. Honestly, I would not go anywhere else!!! Thank you !

I have both my home and car insurance with Don Bullard Insurance.

I really dont know what I would do without Shannon and Heather at Don Bullard! They handle all my personal and small business insurance needs. I am amazed how quickly Shannon responds to all my questions and requests. Before Heather introduced me to Don Bullard I had all my insurance scattered with different carriors and didnt have a central contact point. Having an agency help me shop for the best insurance, review my coverages with me, and being there to answer my questions is a service and comfort I highly recommend! If you have any insurance questions or needs or just want someone to review your current polices call Shannon and Heather!

Alissa from DBI has been great. We sold our home and she was able to get our current policy terminated. She then got us renters insurance for a fantastic rate. She then relooked at our auto poly and saved us hundreds of dollars. She gets back to you within the same day by phone and even quicker by email. I have referred several folks to DBI even our new owners. DBI is the best company I’ve ever had. If you can choose I would ask for Alissa!Mike Perretta

We moved to Wilmington in 1998 and were oblivious of the state insurance regs and representatives. As my wifes sister and her husband arrived several years earlier we relied on them for insurance and placed our requirements with a particular company. Pricing seemed fair and one-on-one meetings on various subjects seemed acceptable. As the years passed service deterioriated significantly, but we hung in there. About 5 years ago I said enough is enough and thought bout making a change. I was aware of Don Bullard Agency from their TV commercials, knew that an Agency represented numerous insurance companies and their ILM office was convenient.I made an appointment and met with Chris Stellaccio who impressed me greatly. He openly worked with me to move all our existing insurance to Bullard Agency selections. In my view he was a superior professional and I enjoyed working with him. Time passed and Chris disappeared and I found myself working with series of people, none of which matched up to Chris..Until 2020 when Sharon Eber came on the scene as my Customer Service Agent. AhA, I said, a female Chris Stellaccio!! I enjoy having her looking after our insurance needs in a mature, knowledgable, thorough and conscientious manner. I can talk with Sharon and count on excellent results time and time again. No longer do I have to worry about who will answer the phone the next time I call the Office.Thank you, Sharon.Richard A. & Jane D. Steinkopf

Being new to the area, my wife and I were seeking an honest and professional insurance agent to handle our auto, home and flood insurance needs. Kara Herring with The Don Bullard Insurance Company has gone above and beyond the call in providing us with good information, professional service, and competitive rates.We have saved money by going with this agent, and plan on staying with them for some time to come. If you need a professional agent and want want the best in customer service and competitive rates, you have found the right place. Five Stars!John Michel - Southport, NC

My husband and I have been living with a buckling floor and mold in our house for over two months now. Don Bullard wont even respond to our inquaries, let alone do their jobs to help make our house livable after a hurricane. Pretty sad. If youre looking for expensive on paper home insurance, I guess these guys are right for you. If youre looking for ACTUAL coverage, I would look else where.

Have had a terrible time with the Southport office. My homeowners insurance expired March 15th and I am still not sure if I have insurance. Was upset at first, but after a phone conversation was told not to worry. Now it is March 24th and I am receiving cancellation letters and active letters. Dont know what to think. I have to make phone calls Monday with my mortgage holder and the insurance company. Try calling my agent, Kelly Underwood, think its easier getting President Trump. I just want homeowners insurance!!! Incompetent office in Southport. Totally disgusted. No call backs. Everything done by email. Horrible experience. Retired, dont need these headaches.

Horrible company to deal with. Got a letter in the mail that they are dropping a policy (and not exactly sure why) and I am amazed they did not call or reach out to me in any way besides a very vague letter. Even with me trying to reach out to them to find out what is going on results in no callbacks. I would not recommend at all. I could not imagine how they would be to work with if you actually had a claim. Stay away!
