"Cindy VanElls treats us like a debt collector on the opposite team vs an agent representing our behalf and best interest. Constantly speaks over u and cuts u off acting condescending as if we should know all the billing/processes/coverages on State Farm’s behalf which is the reason we seek agents to help us. So tired of gross people robbing us blind and treating us like were their enemy instead of their appreciated customer- they have us in a choke hold and unconstitutionally requiring we pay them or face consequences that end up seizing ur assets and criminal charges, loss of freedom if u do not pay them for driving your vehicle on public roadways. Atleast pretend like u appreciate ur customers while u stiff them Cindy!"
We responded:
"Thank you for sharing your experience. It's important for us to hear feedback, even when it's negative, as it helps us improve our services. I'm sorry to learn that you felt undervalued and frustrated during your interactions with Cindy. As your agent, it's our priority to provide support and guidance in a respectful manner. Your feedback will be taken seriously, and we'll work to ensure a more positive experience for you in the future."

"Unfortunate experience working with Matt. He seemed unwilling to do his due diligence in his job and in helping a client. Couldn't be bothered to look into my questions further and blew me off with 'honestly I don't know.' as an answer."

"Matt Brooks was more than helpful. As a driver under 25, it has been difficult finding auto insurance that doesn’t break the bank. Not only did he help me get good rates, but he took his time and answered any questions I had without making me feel uneducated, especially about life insurance which I was unfamiliar with before. Thank you to Matt, and this company for hiring an employee who actually cares about helping people, not just his next paycheck."
We responded:
"Thanks for the review Cristina. I'm happy to hear that you got life insurance started at a young age and that Matt was able to help answer your questions. Have a great day!"

"I would like to take this opportunity to recommend Blythe Oade at State Farm Insurance. Blythe began working with me in March, 2023 in search of auto, home, and umbrella insurance. I was impressed with her willingness to invest time and energy in finding me coverages to satisfy my specific insurance needs. Blythe was diligent in communicating a variety of coverages and followed through with my questions and concerns in a timely manner. If you’re looking for a professional, dependable, expert insurance executive who provides a personal touch, Blythe Oade is this individual."
We responded:
"Thank you for the great review Jeff! I know that Blythe is happy to assist your family with all of your insurance needs. Take care."

"Kelly Barton at State Farm made setting up my new insurance policy such a great experience as I felt so stressed about all the transferring and getting back with State Farm for all of our policies and was overwhelmed when I called. I’m so relieved and she made it super easy for me and I feel so grateful I got her and the stress turned to excitement to work with her and Steve VanElls State Farm In St Johns! I’d highly recommend her!"
We responded:
"Thank you Stacey!"

"All the reviews are done immediately after getting insurance, no wonder they are good. Try and file a claim and you'll need a lawyer. Steve VanElls will do everything possible so you can't make a claim."
We responded:
"Hello Lee Lee, I checked our records and don't see that you've ever been a customer of our agency or that we've ever contacted you in any way. If you have a specific question, my team and I would be happy to try and assist you. If you need to file a State Farm Claim you have several options. You can call 800-SFClaim, go online to StateFarm.com or even file a claim from the State Farm app on your mobile device. Our State Farm Claims team makes all the decisions on claims not the Agent or the Agent's office. At the Agent's office our role in a claim is to help provide you with basic information such as your policy number, deductibles and instructions on how to file a claim. We can also assist with communication between State Farm Claims and the customer. "

"Was quoted insurance and took it, a week later they raised my rates. Not a way to keep customers. Kellie Barton was the agent."
We responded:
"Thank you for your feedback. When an agency submits a customer's application for insurance, that application must be reviewed by an Underwriter. An insurance underwriter can give 4 different possible outcomes for that application before it becomes a policy. Option 1, everything is issued exactly as the salesperson submitted the application (this is what every salesperson in every insurance agency in America wants to see happen every single time). Option 2, the policy has less risk than originally believed and the policy will be issued for a lower premium than what the application was submitted at. Option 3, the risk is greater, and the policy can be issued for a higher premium that what the application was submitted at. Option 4, the risk is too great and the application for a policy was denied by the Underwriter. Thank you for your time and I wish you well. "

"I am so elated and impressed with working with Vanessa Wenlick at State Farm for her assistance in getting me such great rates, for not only for my car insurance, but for my life and renter's insurance as well! She saved me well over a hundred dollars! She was so friendly, answered all my questions reasonably, and just made the whole experience effortless on my part! If you are looking for a new agent, look no further, Vanessa is your go- to rep!"

"Having left another State Farm agency in the past and finding a great agent up north with another company for several years, we were hesitant to leave our current agent but, like a lot of folks now, we were coming off some difficult financial years, so we decided to get new quotes for Auto and Renters Insurance. We compared almost a dozen policies and by far the rates and the Customer Service we received from Account Agent Kellie Barton consistently stood out! She was attentive and good-natured throughout the process."

"I have had one of the most satifying experiences in purchasing insurance today. I would like to thank & recommend my Insurance agent Blythe Oade. Not only did she work with me on getting me the lowest rates for auto, she was able to get me renters insurance as well for less than half of what other competitors were asking. Blythe & State Farm insurance company will work hard to meet your insurance needs at a affordable cost."
We responded:
"Thank you Charleta for the opportunity to earn your business! It's great to hear that Blythe was able to help protect more than just your auto here with State Farm."
