Hal Baker – State Farm Insurance Agent

First I want to address the negative review on here. I’m not quite sure what the person below is talking about. Whether you want to meet with Hal or with Erin (his office manager and senior salesperson), one of them is virtually ALWAYS available– either by phone, in the office during office hours, or even off-​site. Hal even offers to come out to your home, office, or a mutual place like Starbucks to discuss your coverages or meet in person. There are certainly not a lot of agencies that offer all of these options. Further, reviews can only be deleted by the poster on Unilocal or by Unilocal themselves if they deem it as being slander or inappropriate… There is virtually NO WAY to delete a review as a business owner.
Moving on with the positive experience I’ve had, our family has had Hal as our agent for many years for home, auto, health, life, and bank products. We now consider him a close family friend and feel VERY cared for. We have certainly had claims and lots of questions, changes, premium changes, etc over the years and Hal and Erin have always been so helpful in helping us understand our coverage and make the right changes as it was necessary. Further, we never got that pushy insurance salesman vibe from Hal. He really puts the customer’s needs before his «quota.» It’s good to be able to trust your agent. Finally, what we particularly like is the «no BS» model of quoting from State Farm and from Hal’s agency in particular. Hal and Erin really do offer the best policy at the best price they can right out of the box. They don’t try to undercut other companies or give you a poor policy just to get you in the door. They take their needs analysis process very seriously and it’s nice for a change to have an insurance person take time to get to know my family and our situation before sending me an arbitrary quote based on coverages I already have. They make no assumptions.
Long story short, this is a great local family-​friendly agency with good honest people who are VERY SMART. We’re glad to keep our business at Hal’s!
