It's about time I get a new insurance agent. The guy I use is about 85 years old and really doesn't do shit anymore lol. Who are you guys going with. I'm around 82nd and Morgan and I would like to stay somewhat close.

I have a house, two daily vehicles, and my car that I want insured. I have Acuity right now but I would like to shop around a bit just to make sure I'm getting decent rates. They have my car valued waaaay under what it should be so before I go and get an appraisal, I would like to talk to a different agent and see what's up. One that will actually shop around for me.

I'm paying about $2,085 right now for everything.

I go through Allstate for everything and have Peter Filber as my agent. His office is in Menomonee Falls (Appleton Avenue and Main Street), but I have only been there once. Everything else is handled through phone/email. He communicates very well - even on the weekends when I send emails with questions or to add/remove insurance from vehicles.

262-255-7005

Never made a claim, so I can't comment on that aspect of insurance.

Yeesh...I'm paying ~ 1250 for house/two daily's/truck. I act as my own agent and I go direct through selective (they usually use agents, I ended up in an odd situation in which my agent dropped selective, but I elected to stay with them...) and then hagerty insurance for the truck with the value of my choosing (you essentially name the value it is to you) and pay on that.

The one claim I made selective treated me well...premium didn't jump too much either.

I have had several agents over the years but have stuck with Travelers Insurance. Johnson Insurance manages my policies however. They are GREAT to work with. Will shop for the best rates, can do everything over the phone/email etc. I have 3 vehicles (2 on Travelers auto + Hagerty on the Biscayne), house and some personal items all managed with one agent through Johnson. They even manage my Hagerty policy which has been awesome. Insurance is mega competitive so if you THINK you should be getting a better price, do a little leg work and chances are good you will save some money.

I Hate American Family. They are a bunch of Jag offs they only care about the money and not their customers. That is why I left. I go through State Farm Insurance. They are located on 83 and Lincoln. They gave me a good rate on Renters, Auto and umbrella. I pay $70 a month. When I was with Gieco it was about $120.

Jim rouse of AM. fam is my agent 414 527 3011 When I bough my house yrs back he stopped over with his drop top ws6 while he was checking out the house for new insurance he threw me the keys and told me to check it out and see if there where any bugs. Ive talked to him on the phone always professional and willing to work maybe its the agents your dealing with that make u hate am fam but Im happy with mine. I guess it helps when u share the same interests in cars also.

I no longer use her, I saved $50 a month by going with Progressive.

Hmmm.....

I have Progressive through her and pay less than what Progressive wants. I referred 4 people to her (also 3 indirectly) and they all said she was by far the cheapest. Unfortunately I will be leaving her too but that is ONLY because I moved to AZ. She is only licensed in WI.

She looked at Progressive for me also and could not match what I could get online.

She's an independent that tries harder than any others I found.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. And the location thing, I just didn't want someone telling me about some place in Beloit or some shit lol.
