Farmers Insurance – Michael Solum

Totally on top of it! Instant, personal treatment of claims. Could not ask for better service or attention.

This review is for business insurance and scoped to the procurement process.
I can’t recommend this team highly enough. They are true consultants in ensuring I have the right type of amount of coverage given our company’s industry. They are patient, work with investment grade/​top quality underwriters, and assist throughout the entire underwriting and procurement process.
Obviously, the more insurance they sell, the higher the commission. With that being said, Shannon, my point of contact, worked with me to understand our product, the issues I was trying to tackle, and the issues I did not have the ability to even determine existed. With that being said, Shannon and his team laid out a very clear set of milestones of when I would need to start addressing those issues. They did not try to push those milestones forward in order to increase their financial upside in the short-​term. Simply put, they acted as true-​partners knowing that the real value is in the long-​term relationship and our continued growth.
Without any direction from me or my team, they provided quotes that were quite literally 50% or lower of some other quotes we received with companies that were A rated and had the balance sheets to backup their policies. More importantly for our team, they knew immediately which underwriters were willing to work within our fairly unique industry.
At the very least, give this team a call, and see what they can do.
